File:Simplified Languages of Europe map.svg

Original file ‎(SVG file, nominally 1,541 × 1,253 pixels, file size: 2.25 MB)

Summary

Description Map of main European languages simplified by following national borders in many cases. The map does not reflect the fact that many regions are bilingual, officially and/or in practice. In some cases, the area indicated for a language reflects where some of its speakers live but not necessarily where they form the majority of the population.

InfoField
 
The source code of this SVG is invalid due to an error.
 
This W3C-invalid map was created with Inkscape.
This SVG map contains embedded raster graphics.[1] Such images are liable to produce inferior results when scaled to different sizes (as well as possibly being very inefficient in file size). If appropriate to do so, they should be replaced with images created using vector graphics.
Note: This template is only supposed to be used if the SVG file mixes vector and raster graphics. If the SVG file only contains raster graphics {{FakeSVG}} is supposed to be used. See also {{TopoSVG}}.
 
The file size of this SVG map may be irrationally large because its text has been converted to paths inhibiting translations.
