      This map is extremely wrong, it also rules out any Indo-European language that coexists with another of a different family

      (for example basque and Spanish, or English in Alaska, or French in Quebec, or Spanish in Equatorial Guinea and you keep on naming places for a while)

      If you spoke English in any place in Alaska, they are gonna understand you and talk to you in English, so the map doesn’t represent the distribution correctly there, for example

      This is innacurate, European languages often coexist with local tongues. (ex: Hong Kong, Nigeria, India, Malaysia, the Philippines)

      is there a population amount required? because while not big cities there are small rural towns in the grey areas of Australia.

      What’s happening to the map of Russia? 98.5% of Siberia’s population speaks only Russian as their primary language.

      This is like, shockingly bad. What metric could this possibly be using for what is or isnt red?

      Although the Indonesian language is not Indo-European, many of the local languages–which for a significant number of people are their first–are rooted in Sanskrit, which is one.

      These maps always understate the expanse of actual majority languages in favour of nearly extinct and very rare minority indigenous languages. In Canada, this map has both Montréal and Québec City as not speaking French and The Yukon and Northern BC not speaking English. Somehow Townsville and Cairns in Australia have forgotten English. By some inverse miracle, the city of Cancun in Mexico has also forgotten Spanish and the city of Magadan in Russia has forgotten Russian.

      This map is overestimating the native languages of the Americas by quite a lot.

      At least for Brazil, Portuguese is the mother language for 99% of the population.

      Shouldn’t Malta be gray instead of red? Unless we’re assuming everybody speaks English there.
