Inspired by @Valdore Javorsky and @Hipster Stalin , here shall be the place for working on OTL maps, MBAM-sized, which bear specific data. This can range from a religious map to a map of systems of government or anything else...
It's strange to see so many straight lines, I thought that was just isolated to the US and Canada. Anyways, I don't think it would've changed that much since then, with the possible exception of the Donetsk War.This is the most detailed map of languages in Ukraine I was able to find, but it's based on 2001 census. Should we use it?
Well, I made this list of Indo-European languages a while ago (couldn't finish Iranian and Indo-Aryan, but in our case it's fine), but it might be too inclusive (quite a lot of these languages might be classified as dialects rather)How do you guys get the shading for the linguistic map? I might do this myself but equally it's quite a controversial change.
I'd shade the Central Belt of Scotland and especially the North East of Scotland in a slightly different colour (by some definitions you could include the northernmost parts of England), to represent the Scots language. It's debatable whether it is different enough to be a language or whether it is a dialect, but it is worth noting.
Are we actually going to do ALL languages? We'll need even more colors. Are you making progress?Well, I made this list of Indo-European languages a while ago (couldn't finish Iranian and Indo-Aryan, but in our case it's fine), but it might be too inclusive (quite a lot of these languages might be classified as dialects rather)
Should we use this as a guide as to what to include as languages?
I've just woken up, actually. I doubt that more colors will be a big issue. We'll need to add a legend soon though.Are we actually going to do ALL languages? We'll need even more colors. Are you making progress?

(damn you, Bessarabia!)
EDIT: I'll keep working on Southwestern Ukraine, most of it is a lot easier than Odessa, so shouldn't take as long
Here's willkozz's linguistic map with FrankCesco's improvements
