In Belgium we also speak Flemish, which is a dialect of Dutch, and German. So Belgium should be orange, red and blue.

It's a map of countries, not languages... There are a lot more situations in Europe where the boundaries of languages don't align with political borders.

Some other problems:

  • Kosovo is colored the same way as Serbia, but there are by far more Albanians live there, so it should be the colored that way.
  • What the hell is the color of Switzerland. Is it colored according to the Rhomansh, a language spoken by 40 thousand people, 0.5% of the population?

this is a very shitty map.
