ภาพแผนที่ภาษาศาสตร์นี้ ควรจะถูกสร้างใหม่เป็นกราฟิกส์เวกเตอร์ ซึ่งมีข้อดีอีกหลายประการ ดูเพิ่มเติมที่คอมมอนส์:สื่อต้องการเก็บกวาดสำหรับสารสนเทศเพิ่มเติม หากภาพนี้มีในรูปแบบกราฟิกส์เวกเตอร์อยู่แล้ว กรุณาอัปโหลดและแทนที่แม่แบบนี้ด้วย {{vector version available|ชื่อภาพใหม่}} แนะนำเป็นอย่างยิ่งให้ตั้งชื่อไฟล์เวกเตอร์ใหม่นั้นในรูปแบบ "Human Language Families (wikicolors).svg" แล้วใส่แม่แบบ Vector version available (หรือ Vva) ซึ่งไม่ต้องใช้พารามิเตอร์ ชื่อภาพใหม่
Info
This file is from the English Wikipedia. It represents the largest uncontroversial linguistic macrofamilies using the color scheme from en:Wikipedia:WikiProject Languages. (Thus, Japanese and Korean are represented as language isolates, despite various contested theories linking them to other families (probably Altaic family) or each other.)
Due to the lack of sourcing and the inherent imprecision of the Robinson projection, this should be taken as a somewhat impressionistic representation.
A policy needs to be adopted regarding autochtonous languages versus imported (colonial) languages. Why has Equatorial Guinea been marked Indo-European because Spanish is spoken there, but other African countries, where English, French or Portuguese are spoken, haven't? Sure EG should be changed back to the autochtonous language group?
On 26 October 2005, en:User:Ishwar added the Nadene family with its color and added color specks for the Hopi, Havasupai, Western Apache, Choctaw, Cherokee, Mescalero, Zuni, Keres, Sioux languages. (although these are hardly visible.)
On 9 November 2005, en:User:Peter Farago corrected errors in Hainan and Taiwan, pointed out by en:User:ran on en:Image talk:Human Language Families Map (Wikipedia Colors .PNG; corrected error in Malta; replaced the paraphyletic "Australian languages" group with the well-attested Pama-Nyungan family (redrawn after this source), marking the non-Pama-Nyungan languages as isolates; and recolored Greenland and the Queen Elizabeth Islands to indicate that they are uninhabited, not language isolates.
On 21 June 2006, es:Usuario:Satesclop noted Spanish-speaking populations in Equatorial Guinea and the Canary Islands, and added cross-hatching to indicate Spanish speakers in the interior of South America.
I can't see the Basque language in Northern Spain any more, so I reverted it to remove the foggyness/deletion of the Baques.--213.232.79.149 08:52, 23 July 2008 (UTC)
The Australian Indigenous languages covering the northern part of Australia somehow got lost between version 29th of May and 30th of May - can someone please put them back in or say why they have been removed? thanks 129.215.149.99 12:11, 4 September 2008 (UTC)
Partial restorion of original upload. The Turkish and Azerbaijani language areas do touch each other at Nakhichevan. Separately, the Caucasian and Mongolian languages families don't border each other, despite the proximity.
updated/fixed, (fix: included the turkic, tungusic and mongolic language family as official census propose) matching the linguistic classification of language families. (stand:2017)
