Accuracy

At numerous this points this map is totally inaccurate:
1) What is this bizarre non-Indo-European language in Switzerland? Romansch is a Romance language. If you're suggesting that Rhaetic still survives there, that's ridiculous, it died two centuries ago...
2) The range of Albanian is bizarrely contracted. The map somehow manages to make Kosovo speak Slavic (it's over 90% Albanian!), and then Southern Albania magically speaks Greek, even in places where there are basically zero Greeks (i.e. Skrapar, Tepelena). I was just in Southern Albania, let me tell you everyone speaks Albanian there, the only place you find large concentrations of Greek speakers are the Himara and Dropull regions, both tiny pieces of the chunk of Southern Albania that's colored Greek here.
3) The range of Romanian in the Northeast is also mysteriously contracted. The pocket of Slavic (Ukrainian) speech south of Moldova has mysteriously grown to encompass the whole Southern half of Moldova and then it even bleeds into Romania proper, and of course this is not accurate. I might also mention that there is also a non-Indo-European language in Moldova- Gagauz.
4) Why have the whole Indian subcontinent, Afghanistan and Tajikistan, major centers of Indo-European speech, been totally neglected from teh map?
We have plenty of much better maps of Indo-European language distribution. I will be replacing this with those until/unless this is improved.--Yalens (talk) 15:21, 6 September 2014 (UTC)

Азиатская часть России

Почему она выделена как НЕ индоевропейские языки? Мы на арабском что-ли говорим? Картинка вводит в заблуждение по многим пунктам. Советую удалить или переделать с учетом реального положения дел. — Preceding unsigned comment was added by 5.141.230.126 (talk) 16:48, 06 January 2016 (UTC)
