What is going on with Peninsular Malaysia in this map? It looks like the southern half is in the Sino-Tibetan family, which disagrees with most sources I can find as well as the page for the Languages of Malaysia, which includes a map that does not look like this. — Preceding unsigned comment was added by 64.189.132.221 (talk) 02:01, 25 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Arawan and Guajiboan are the same color

[edit]

The colors for Arawan (Scattered clusters in eastern Brazil) and Guajiboan (Large blob in SE Colombia) should be different, but they are both ASCII color #96A7BC. --2606:6000:6211:5B00:119E:96F4:80AD:E4D9 02:06, 12 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Canada

[edit]

Assuming the colouring is meant to show majority-laguage areas(?), the authors have been slightly over-enthusiastic about the extent & robustness of Native-American languages in Canada. I.E.: Some areas that are shown as being Native-language should actually be shown as Indo-European. Such as the Great Lakes region of Ontario, the Plains, and British Columbia. 174.138.202.66 21:12, 7 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Khoisan

[edit]

Khoisan is no longer a language family, it's been broken up now. 174.138.202.66 21:33, 7 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Australia

[edit]

What source is the distribution of languages in Australia based on? It appears to be totally random, several large cities or well populated areas are shown as speaking Aboriginal languages when they have very few Aboriginal residents. Ivar the Boneful (talk) 04:57, 6 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Australian (several families), American Indian (several families) and Papuan (several families)
