Switzerland
Switzerland probably should be removed from this map, it's not an EU country, and none of the other EU language maps have it coloured in. Chipmunkdavis (talk) 23:51, 26 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Wrong: French has it on its map, as has Italian. When showing Croatia and Turkey on a German language map, Switzerland - where about 65% speak it as their mother tongue - clearly should be shown (besides, Switzerland does take part in EU policies, for example, the Schengen treaty. It couldn't without as it's surrounded by EU and its own languages in the bordering countries). 87.182.249.241 (talk) 20:18, 16 October 2011 (UTC)

Germans (german people), german speakers and fans of german language want to add Switzerland because there is third big speaking German language country in Europe and inside around 60%... but basic something this map is for countries who are inside in European Union and not outside... Switzerland reject to join in European Union and we can't count Switzerland as European union-member... Renaming this map can resolve current problem or Switzerland to join in EU otherwise the name of this map is wrong or the countries who are there is wrong. --Николов (talk) 08:06, 13 September 2013 (UTC)


 * Well, and haters of German (people, language etc.) don't, right, Николов? Firstly, this whole discussion must be removed to the Commons page as English Wikipedia most certainly is not the reference for all the others... And then, yes this map has to stay exactly as it is, Switzerland is much more relevant than Turkey (since when a EU member state, Николов?). Switzerland does take part in major EU policies as it simply has to regarding its exposed position towards Europe (culturally -- esp. linguistically, politically (Schengen: without GB but with Switzerland...), geographically, etc.). And: I think Switzerland should be added on that map's equivalent for the French and -- if existing -- Italian language as well because it is the very same case. 95.90.118.201 (talk) 07:00, 11 October 2013 (UTC)

Flanders
Shouldn’t the northern part of Belgium, Flanders, also be marked as the Netherlands are? --138.246.2.71 (talk) 15:40, 7 April 2014 (UTC)

Native language in Alsace? Seriously?
German is described as a native language in Alsace, France. I am from there, and I can assure you it is completely false. Lots of people speak it more or less fluently, and some are native Alsatian speakers, but they are not a majority anymore and it is not German. This must be adressed.
