Uyghur language[edit]

This map appears to me to not pretend that the Uyghur language does not exist. Sanpitch (talk) 23:36, 11 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

In my mind, this map should show the absolute distribution of the languages in question. Mandarin is, while not the dominant in the entire area, still prevalent enough for me to colour it in red.
Having said that however, I’m not completely satisfied with this either. I might hash the areas outside the main core, but I still think that the idea holds well. GalaxMaps (talk) 20:26, 12 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Border[edit]

Could you add borber of administrative division of China, India and Myanmar? 178.90.44.15 12:43, 13 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Tripura[edit]

Should Meitei be highlighted as it is currently in Tripura? I believe the Bengalis are the majority ethnic group there, and the native Sino-Tibetan Kokborok/Tripuri does not appear to be a variant of Meitei. Bengali also seems to be the majority language in the southern part of Assam that was colored with Meitei. I'm not sure what the linguistic relationship between Kokborok and Meitei is though--maybe they're similar? Ratata6789 (talk) 23:59, 12 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I have edited the map. I must have missed Kokborok while first making the map. Meitei is now striped within Tripura as it is a prevalent language in the region. As for other languages being dominant in areas, this map already exaggerates many small languages, especially around Northeast India. GalaxMaps (talk) 22:48, 18 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Remarks[edit]

As far as I can tell, Kokborok is universally recognized as a Bodo-Garo language. Why does it have its own color? Especially when Bodo-Garo, Konyak and Jingpho are lumped together, making ‘Sal’ paraphyletic here. In addition, Mruic and what is presumably Caijia in China are missing labels. 109.184.74.252 12:58, 21 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Tamangic also has a distinct color but no label. 109.184.74.252 16:15, 21 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Also consider striping the Be-speaking area in northern Hainan. Wikipedia claims 600,000 speakers (6% of Hainan’s population) and 100,000 monolinguals. 109.184.74.252 20:11, 26 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
