Request

I would like to request the creation of a map of the provinces of the Nguyễn Dynasty in 1937 based on the above maps. The French protectorate of Tonkin should be red while the French protectorate of Annam yellow to reflect the map of the Nguyễn Dynasty under the Minh Mạng Emperor above, the rest of French Indochina should be a very light shade of purple (or as transparent as possible) to indicate that Đại-Nam is a part of the Union of Indo-China but clear enough that the observer will see that the rest of French Indo-China is not a part of Đại-Nam.

The best way to do this is by using the map and code of "File:Nguyen Dynasty, administrative divisions map (1838).svg" as the base, use the administrative boundaries and names of "File:French Indochina 1937.png", and then use the general layout and colour scheme of "File:Nguyễn Dynasty in 1937 concept map.png".

Differences between French and Nguyễn names and notes.

Also note that the Nguyễn Dynasty maintained different names for several provinces than the French, for example "1e Territoire Militaire" should be called "Hải Ninh 海寧" and "2e Territoire Militaire" should be called "Cao Bằng 高平".

On Wikipedia I find that the Đắk Lắk Province was split before this "1931: it consisted of 5 provinces: Buôn Ma Thuột, Buôn Hồ, Đắk Song, Lak, M'Đrăk", but I can't find any other maps than the one I have of 1937. Likewise before 1950 Vĩnh Phúc (永福) was the provinces of Vĩnh Yên (永安) and Phúc Yên (福安), but I can't find that in the source map. I suppose that improvements can be made with better sources available as SVG files can constantly be improved. Additional sources can simply be added at the list of sources in the file description in the future, I know a WikiCartographer who was really knowledgeable about these things, but she retired, so I'm basing it now mostly on the 1937 map.

Colours

Red = Xứ bảo hộ Bắc Kỳ - 處保護北圻

Yellow = Xứ bảo hộ Trung Kỳ - 處保護中圻

Purple (very light purple) = Phần còn lại của Đông Dương 份群賴𧵑東洋
