The map looks as if only those languages are spoken in those areas........Megistias (talk) 22:13, 25 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

FYROM is the correct term. This map needs a serious overhaul. 79.103.188.196 (talk) 18:02, 18 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The map shows Arvanitika spoken in a far larger area than its actual extent-about 25% of the area shown on the map. Southern Slavic dialects spoken in northern Greece are different to the main dialect spoken in FYROM and should not be labeled as "Macedonian". Greek remains the predominant spoken language in all the linguistic minorities areas, with the exception of the Pomac and Turkish areas in north-east Greece. The solid shading on the map implies that Greek is completely replaced by other languages in these areas. In addition, sizeable pockets where Greek is the only language exist within the 'Aromanian' and 'Slavic' areas. Michail0171 (talk) 13:50, 29 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The map should use the name "FYROM" instead of "Rep. of Macedonia". This is after all the page for Greece and this is the name that Greece uses for this country, let alone the UN. Why make it more provocative than it already is? When the name dispute is resolved it should be revisited of course. I'm not taking any stance regarding the language/minority issue but this cannot stay as is.85.74.35.203 (talk) 04:07, 15 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Well... the map looks very serious. But ! But living here for nearly 9 years, I can say, that in most of cases one can meet only faint traces of that languages, among local people. And that deos not implicate that they do not feel Greeks. With the exception of Turkish and Slavish languages, which are very clearly existing, but still a minority.--Dimkoa (talk) 16:39, 6 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This map has mistakes and the areas of the map dont fit exactly with the link of the europe ethnologue map which is given(for example shows arvanitika speaken at whole Attica and even at the city of Athens)

The map shows that in the city of Megara west of Athens they speak Arvanitika. That is wrong! The local residents don't speak Arvanitika, because during the time of Ottoman Empire the Albanian immigrants never settled in Megara. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.1.56.71 (talk) 12:49, 11 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Mismatching with text.[edit]

This image is clearly provocative, for all the aforementioned reasons. It is also not aligned with the article about Greece, which clearly states that Arvanites, the "Arvanitika" speakers of Athens and the surrounding areas, are nearly extinct, in opposition to the distribution that the file presents for Attica. Therefore, the file needs serious overhauling, or, as proposed in the discussions, moving to a "history of language minorities" section.
