The official languages of Iraq are Kurdish and Arabic.--Gomada (talk) 16:28, 21 May 2012 (UTC)

• "Chinese" and "Indian" aren't languages at all. Several countries don't have legislative official languages (US and Mexico for example). Many minority coofficial languages aren't mentioned at all. I think the problems could be mostly fixed by simply renaming the map major langauges of the world and the areas where they are spoken or something like that (of course Quebec would still need rectification).--Maunus (talk) 16:12, 22 May 2012 (UTC)

Renaming the map would not fix all the problems; for example, Georgian (the official and major language of Georgia) is not a Turkic language as shown on the map. Also, the "Note other's" section at the bottom of the map has left out most other languages of the world. It needs major changes if it's going to be kept.

This map is horrible. Portuguese is also official in Angola and Mozambique, which isn't shown, and Spanish isn't the official language of French Guiana and Surinam (French and Dutch, respectively).

I can't believe this is still used after a decade. I made some quick and dirty fixes. The result looks like shit, but that's appropriate. Kwamikagami (talk) 18:28, 15 January 2023 (UTC)

New Zealand's official languages are Sign Language and Māori. English is a 'de-facto official language' in terms of everyday communication, but legally English shouldn't be on this Mao for NZ.
