I wonder where the author got these distribution maps? He has half of Poland speaking German, and an island of Aramaic on the border between Oman and Yemen (Modern South Arabian territory).

Yeah, the German one makes it look as if this is pre-1914, or at least pre-1945 and the mass exodus of Germans

He also calls the little linguistic enclave between Iran and Turkey CVRDICVM, which is a sure-fire way to really piss off the Armenians...

That map looks suspiciously like a "Culture-Area Map" I once saw on Encyclopaedia Britannica Online (back when it was free). I don't think it is a true language map at all.
