File talk:Language families of Asia.png

The name should be "Language families of Eurasia", since Europe is also included. Do a map of only Asia, and then put this name, but not like this. 212.50.203.198 (talk) 08:04, 11 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The range here seems overstated; compare the map to right. --JWB (talk) 19:30, 29 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Sparsely inhabited areas often are. (Khoisan, for example.) That's a criticism for the main map, however: this is just a copy of the Eurasian portion of it. (Also, that's an awful lot of blue on your map for only a few dozen speakers of Manchu.) — kwami (talk) 19:36, 29 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It is a criticism of the main map, but a fix by creating a better version of the Asia map (probably in SVG) might be a separate map, not necessarily a crop.

I agree about Manchu on that map, which is not mine. The Manchu situation needs explanation in text anyway, which should be in any article where that image is used.

Even accounting for sparse population, the Tungusic range looks weird. I wonder if they are misclassifying Yukaghir as Tungusic - adding another map for comparison. --JWB (talk) 20:58, 29 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
