Hatched and detached areas[edit]

Hi E-960, to bring this map more in line with Ammons's the hatched areas denoting more than one official language should be removed. There are five of them: one in northern Germany on the Danish border, two in eastern Germany close to Poland, and two in southern Austria on the Slovenian and Hungarian borders.

Also Ammons's map shows no areas that are detached from other German-speaking areas, neither the exclave in Trentino south of South Tyrol, Italy, nor anywhere in Switzerland where almost the entire Romansh-speaking zone is in fact bilingual Romansh-German or trilingual Romansh-German-Italian.

Finally Belgium: The country's German-speaking Community between Luxembourg and the Netherlands is divided in two, and there is no further German-speaking area to the west of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg in the Belgian Province of Luxembourg.

Thanks a million for you efforts and all that follow. Love —LiliCharlie (talk) 09:12, 16 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

LiliCharlie, ok many thanks for the additional input, just updated the map as suggested, I hope the Swiss area was ok, for some reason I was not able to view the full map on Google books, so I removed the enclaves as suggested. --E-960 (talk) 19:27, 16 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
