It is really difficult to determine what the partial (striped) languages are. The colors are too similar, and the lines are too thin to be possible to tell exactly what their color is (due to the visual bleed from the neighboring color fields) - Eudoxie ( talk) 11:49, 12 July 2009 (UTC)
Papiamento is not spoken in Suriname, only on Curaçao, Bonaire and Aruba, (Dutch Antilles). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.249.26.75 ( talk) 00:18, 17 February 2011 (UTC)
Please remove papiamento. It is not spoken in Suriname, only on Curaçao, Bonaire and Aruba and not by the full population. Everyone who speaks it is bilingual with Dutch. Keeping it like this is the same as making green "Portuguese and German" in stead of "Portuguese", because in Brazil in some area's they speak German as well. Or the same as adding Haitian Creole to French. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.82.146.255 ( talk) 05:50, 16 February 2013 (UTC)
While Greenlandic is the first language of almost all Greenlanders, there are a few thousand people who speak Danish as a first language, and almost everyone speaks Danish as a second language. I'm sure that a lot of these languages (Sioux and the New York Dutch, for example) are second languages as well, so shouldn't Danish be added and drawn on to Greenland? - Oisín (Message) 11:19, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
The Falkland Islands are shown as Spanish speaking rather than English speaking. Is this an error based on ignorance or is it politically motivated? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.248.193.121 ( talk) 17:04, 4 January 2010 (UTC)
And the "influence" of Spanish apears in Southern Brazil in this "map", as in its frontiers, but not the influence of the Portuguese in the frontiers of spanish-speaking countries, specialy in East Bolivia - Santa Cruz. In Uruguay as exemple, Portuguese language influence is huge, historical huge influence also of the Portuguese language on the population of Uruguay by historical very known reasons. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.138.144.230 ( talk) 23:11, 2 April 2010 (UTC)
What are doing the Hawaiian Islands and Hawaiian language on this map?, they must be moved to Oceania. -- Jcmenal ( talk) 21:30, 6 May 2010 (UTC)
The languages of the Americas map is about the largest and second most spoken language in a given area. They are the 20 most common languages spoken in the Americas, including recognized co-official languages and minority language speaking areas. There are actually very few Sioux, Navajo, Apache and Cherokee speakers left than in pre-Columbian times, but are enjoying a linguistic revival and possibly the resurgence of tribal governments using them in addition to English as part of the USA. Also to note the Americas has 500 indigenous languages (most are generally endangered if not put into extinction by now), plus 200 immigrant languages introduced to the Americas from German and Italian (i.e. Veneto and Plattsdetusch) to Hakka, Mandarin or Fujian Chinese and Punjabi or Hindustani (most notably in the Guianas). + 71.102.12.55 ( talk) 06:24, 26 November 2010 (UTC)
