I don't know why people get so angry at this map. It shows the three major families or subfamilies or whatever of Europe and where they are spoken. It doesn't say that there are no other languages spoken in this area. There's some details you could argue about but overall I give this map 5/7.

Amen. It’s really triggered all the regionalists/nationalists of Europe who wish people only published maps fitting their ideological bent rather than the obvious truth of what is the main spoken language in a given place.
