FYI, in Brittany as well as Alsace and French Basque Country, the Romance speaking people are the majority : there are however indeed minorities who will speak Breton, Alsatian or Basque (often as a second language — French being the mother tongue of the vast majority of people born in metropolitan France, including the aforementionned regions, since the 1920's) in these regions, but they are very limited in number.

In other words, it would be nice if someone could correct this, by including a fourth colour for regions with a Romance speaking majority a a non-Romance speaking minority, which would be much more accurate.

While German dialect is alive and well in Alsace and Germanic Lorraine it is not the majority language, French is! (the map is wrong!) German however is the majority language in South Tyrol with a Italian/Ladin minority. (the map is right)

I came here to make the exact same point, so this is obviously a longstanding error that no-one is taking care of. What is the source for this map anyway? Seems largely an exercise in linguistically inaccurate original research to me. Knepflerle (talk) 00:34, 23 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Shouldn't Great Britain (particularly England and Wales) should be coloured in under this description as French was the official language for quite a while after the Norman Conquest and is still used to this day in certain legal proceedings. --Lemonade100 (talk) 13:44, 30 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
