Here I will post maps of individual language clusters. Anything that can qualify as a language will be given separate colour; anything that qualifies as a dialect/ regional identity will get new borders
That looks like the Semigallians to me, not Selonians. Selonia was to the southeast of that territory.View attachment 398784

- Curonian (beige)
- Skalvian (purple)

Oh yes no I see my mistake. Selonians is that what has has been labelled as Semigallian, while Semigallian territory is what is same volour as Latgallian but south of Daugava . My badThat looks like the Semigallians to me, not Selonians. Selonia was to the southeast of that territory.
reserving Celtic, Germanic and Romance for myself though ! And Hellenic as wellI really like these maps! As a language nerd myself, i am tempted to do some maps myself. Are you ok with me doing that?
That's fine, In fact Planning to do the Uralic languages.Iam

Latvian ethnogenesis appears to have formed due to Livonian Order. Those Balts who dwellt in the lands north of the border with Livonian Order became Latvians, those were not subdued by them became Lithuanians. Have you a Baltic wank, you will not see a "Latvian" nation, I believe...Sorry to harp on this but why haven't you labelled Latvian? Or is this a map reflecting tribes c1200ce?
Because today Latgalian is used to label at least a dialect of Latvian and Selonian and Semigallian are extinct.
Without West Saxon settlement pushing west Breton is unlikely since there won't be flight to Armorica.View attachment 399611

In which case Lithuanian won't be a label used of itself, it'll be equivalent to saying East Baltic so you'll need to modify your map labels if that's the POD you're using.Latvian ethnogenesis appears to have formed due to Livonian Order.

Basically you need to contextualise the maps as to the POD you're using or if set in a particular era. Otherwise your labels come across as rather anachronistic if not flat out wrong!
They are linguistic-wank maps.@Tomislav Addai: I'm just confused by those maps, are they supposed to be AH or not?
