About Finland, the map is right:

No dialects tho
It's not my project, it's a community project :Р
I just happen to be interested in it
I dunno about Wymysiöeryś though, I think it would stand out compared to other languages most of which a sizeable number of native speakers, cover a certain territory and have recognition, but I don't mind if you add it. I guess the same can be said about Tsakonian.
We really need to add the languages of all the arious minorities in Russia though, there's too much missing there (particularly Udmurt, Mari, Erzya and Moksha, not to mention the Caucasus)
Albania needs to be adressed as well I would do it but to be honest I have no clue how in gods name to do the stripped areas...
Iraq: seems Assyrian neo-aramaic is missing, it is present in a couple of villages and towns of northern Iraq, as well as Urmia, Khabur river valley, and a few pickets in Turkey
Slovakia:there is also a pocket of Hungarians near Nitra/Zlate Moravce, and Rusyns in Medzilaborce.
Also, if you're returning to the Balkans I would suggest adding Czechs and Slovaks to Croatia and Vojvodina. Furthermore there are some Croats in BurgenlandGreat map @BryanIII ! Are those minorities the majority in the colored regions?
As for the "striped areas" there must be lots of ways to do it, and I'm far from an expert when it comes to making maps... But the way I do it is this (on MS Paint):
1. Make a striped field in a new file (just copy it from elsewhere on the map, like Belarus or Occitania).
2. Make the geographical area that you want hatched white.
3. Drag the white area (make the selection transparent) over the striped field. Like this:
Good points! The Middle East is clearly far from done. I am now updating it, so within an hour or so there'll be a new map with a fixed Kurdish & Azeri language area and with Aramaic & Turkmen added in. I'll also take care of Hungarian & Rusyn

Except for Aromanian and the areas outlined as "minority area" the languages are a minority.
Godammit you make it seem so easy! I might try it...

Are we expanding into Africa and Asia?Great! I look forward to see the result. Good luck
Thanks for the suggestions! I totally redid Slovakia, Iraq, Syria, Vojvodina and Iran. Also fixed Kurdish in Turkey, but there are too many conflicting maps on their spread, so we're gonna have to look into that.

Also I prefer a lot what you just did than the striped areas
