File talk:Linguistic map Southwestern Europe.gif

Nice work!

Is it the map of the official languages of the states, or is it the map of the languages that the common populations spoke? СЛУЖБА (talk) 20:30, 14 July 2010 (UTC)

No Berber Languages???
Just arabic but not berber spoken in islamic spain, even when berbers played important roles in islamic spanish history up until being ruled with berber monarchs.... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 137.207.34.197 (talk) 02:28, 23 October 2014 (UTC)

accuracy re: boundaries, etc.
i'm not clear how these "language boundaries" are being drawn?

what is the sourcing info?

2 things that particularly "bother" me:

i. the definition of the basque region; it shrinks over most of the time intervals, then "magically" enlarges significantly (as a mixed-language region) in the space between 1900 & 2000?

ii. up in the top right corner of the map, there is a little "dishonesty" going on, over the franco-german language boundary.

for the entire 1000 yr cycle, the boundary stays exactly the same EXCEPT for a brief german "surge" @ 1900, which is erased in 2000 (presumably reflecting the german-french border changes resulting from the franco-prussian war, then ww1, & 2).

this mapping does not accurately reflect the linguistic state/composition of the alsace-lorraine region over the course of that millenium!

yes, that area is not the primary focus of the map; BUT since the map does show the area, & does show changes in that area, the data should be ACCURATE.

Cool, but frustrating
Very cool, excellent use of animation to illustrate a process.

But I find the packaging as an animated GIF frustrating. You probably don't come in at the beginning, and you can't pause the animation. Any home of getting the animation in a video format?--Isaac Rabinovitch (talk) 23:32, 3 September 2012 (UTC)

Poor cropping of title
The title of the map has been damaged in the cropping. I see why the map needed to be cropped, but it's ben crudely done through the words. They should be moved fully into view, or removed altogether. 81.152.0.109 (talk) 18:15, 26 July 2014 (UTC)
 * I came on here to say the same thing, I agree the map needed to be cropped, but the words need to be repositioned or removed. Abrahamic Faiths (talk) 23:41, 11 December 2014 (UTC)

Sardinia being cut off from the map
I don't know why Sardinia has been removed from the most recent version of the map, especially if we consider that the island had been part of Spain for a couple of centuries and a variety of Catalan is also spoken there.Dk1919 (talk) 15:53, 19 April 2018 (UTC)
