Correction to the map - Kashubian language
I was born and raised in Gdynia (Northern Poland). I travelled northern Poland extensively (due to family ties).

I never heard Kashubian language east of Vistula River. The range of the Kashubian language west of Vistula River seems OK, but the part of the range east of Vistula River should be erased.

Error in Balto-Slavic language tree
Under the "Branches" in the "Balto-Slavic language tree" picture Polish and Silesian languages are mistakenly listed as West Baltic while it should be under West Slavic.

Someone made an error creating the tree. Please fix! Dyras (talk) 19:38, 25 August 2023 (UTC)


 * I think you've misunderstood the image. The relationships among the languages are visualised as the lines that connect language names, while the columns are not relevant. Polish and Silesian are connected to Lechitic, their parent language, which is then connected to Old West Slavic. — Phazd (talk|contribs) 20:53, 25 August 2023 (UTC)

Mention of serbo croatian language
The serbo croation language ceased to exist at the disintegration of the republic of Yugoslavia. People speak serb, bosnian croatian, montenegran 2A02:A03F:8328:E700:B5FC:B7D2:A3CF:7E19 (talk) 12:24, 4 September 2023 (UTC)


 * And this is confirmed by the citation of Ivanov 2001 In the article 2A02:A03F:8328:E700:B5FC:B7D2:A3CF:7E19 (talk) 12:30, 4 September 2023 (UTC)
 * It's 2023 and this polemic has been long-settled, at least on Wikipedia. Ivanov's (and Browne's and others') Britannica article does not support your claim regarding the breakup of YU resulting in the breakup of a language, as far as I can tell; it does nominally refer to BCMS as different languages, but also treats them as a single unit when providing the number of speakers, and says that they might be considered one language too ("sometimes grouped together as Bosnian-Croatian-Montenegrin-Serbian"). The idea that a language can appear or disappear along with a country is odd in itself. — Phazd (talk|contribs) 15:12, 4 September 2023 (UTC)
