Misleading part of the map[edit]

Parts of the map are very misleading. It seems to be supposed to show the present-day language of the majority population, but this principle is not observed for Canada, which is shown as almost entirely Algic and Na-Dene-Yenisseian, even though it is observed for the US, which is shown as Indo-European. --82.137.111.223 (talk) 02:17, 31 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

This actually isn't that misleading, unless the point was that the indigenous people have been culturally assimilated to the point where they lost their language. Most settlers settles in the PIE area (unless the map changed, I didn't check the history of the page.) Robust21 (talk) 17:29, 4 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Background Colour for the Tyrsenian Languages[edit]

Just wanted to point this out. Can we give a background color for the Tyrsenian languages ( Etruscan, Rhaetic and Lemnian) since there is linguistic evidence proving the existence of the Tyrsenian languages?

Merge proposal[edit]

I propose merging Genetic relationship (linguistics) into this page. The two pages are about exactly the same concept: what it means for languages to be in the same family is that they have a genetic relationship. We don't need two different pages about this topic.

Weak support. It would indeed seem more logical to combine these two pages, but I do not have a very strong opinion on the matter, keeping them seperate would also be fine with me.
@Austronesier and Kwamikagami:, do you have any views on this? --Glennznl (talk) 09:45, 2 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I don't see a point in having 2 articles, assuming they're merged well. — kwami (talk) 22:17, 2 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
If we can get a little more support for this I will perform the merge. --Glennznl (talk) 16:18, 3 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I'd like to see Austronesier's take. — kwami (talk) 23:27, 3 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Austronesier: your view on this might help to move the discussion on. Klbrain (talk) 21:46, 27 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I just performed the merge. If anybody suddenly decides to oppose it can be reverted of course. --Glennznl (talk) 14:35, 19 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
