Αυτός ο χάρτης πρέπει άμεσα να μετονομαστεί σε "Languages in Greece of 1900".
This map should be immediately renamed to "Languages in Greece of 1900".

Don't you think that you are exaggerating about the spread of the Slavic language? It looks more like a before-the-civil-war map.
What data did you use?

Yeah, this map is traditional presence. The data that i used is mostly from Wikipedia.

Wikipedia should never be considered a reliable source.

I meant, the data that i used can mostly be found from Wikipedia . I used books for traditional languages. The maps of famous Germans ~ c. 1912 , and the ottoman population cencus of 1900s. As said, those are Traditional Areas, not Present day.

Nice work! It is good to know that at least some greeks acknowledge the fact that Greece has some minorities and is not 100% homogenous. As far as I know, there is still some Albanian being spoken in Konitsa, Parga, Igumenica and the surrounding areas.
I am not saying this for discussion, but it would have been nice if there were depicted in this map as well.

Yeah, but Arvanites after the 1500s were assimilated geneticaly. Apart from Arvanites Slavic speakers are Greeks ( im a slavic speaker too ) .

Yes a lot of the are assimilated. I don't know genetically but I would say more culturally. Which slavic language do you speak? Serbian or Macedonian/Bulgarian?

You did not understand me, the dialects of macedonia are different from village to village, but i would say its a combination of Bulgarian,Greek and Serbian, with some Vlach words in it.

Nice work. However, I think you exaggerated Arvanitika.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
This is meant to be exaggerated. It emphasizes minority languages and their traditional area. For example , on Slavic ( Ntopia as it is called ) the villages i included have as low speakers as 10% on one village , so it is not meant to be the majority of an area.

Imbros and Tenedos are included as Greek in the map because of the traditional only greek population.
