There are a number of oddities. Wales not only gets independence but gets Cornwall. (Why not give it Brittany too?--it has a lot more Celtic-speakers than Cornwall...) Switzerland is dismembered even though its German-, French- and Italian-speakers seem to have been attached to it rather than to their "linguistic" fatherlands--yet while France gets Suisse Romande, it does not get Wallonie. Meanwhile, a separate Flemish state is created, though from a purely linguistic viewpoint it should become part of the Nertherlands. The Lithuanians are grouped together with the Letts ("Lithuanians and Letts do it"...), while the Czechs and Slovaks are recognized as separate peoples, and apparently Catalans are just Spanish and Ukrainians and Belorussians just Russian. The "Gaels" (not Scotland as a whole) get independence, though Gaelic was a minority language even in the Highlands by this time.
