What makes it interesting:
– no Polish presence mentioned around the Vilnius region
– Estonians are called Chuds
– Ukrainians are called Russyns
– the North Sea is the German Sea
It’s a great map since it doesn’t mix language and political borders.
Any Poles here? So you still call the Hungarian languages madyarowie or do you only use węgierski?
wow Ukrainian and Belarusian extend quite deep into modern Poland
Its probably a German map from the time, but in Polish. It looks nothing like the ethnographic map the Polish Delegation presented at Versailles in 1918 nor like other official Polish maps in 1919.
This map severely undercounts Polish majority areas in the east, possibly in the West, and seems to deliberately reduce the Polish corridor in size and not extend it to the sea as well.
(Or its just a bad map, idk)
