Western border of Silesian dialcts

The border should cut the Opole voivodship aprox. in half, the southwestern half speaking new mixed dialects (formerly german speaking area) and the northeastern half speaking silesian, the entiere Lowe-Silesian voivodship wasn't Polish speaking before 1945. On this graph the border cuts the lower-silesian voivodship in two, which means the border is too far on the west.2A02:1205:C6A3:BDC0:EDB9:FE30:C742:C062 20:37, 2 November 2015 (UTC)

Inaccuracies

The map is completely useless. What, on earth, is "Czech Proper" supposed to mean? Czecho-Slovak is a dialect continuum anyway. What the map shows as C1 is merely a part of Bohemian dialects of Czech. This file should be not be used in articles and should be deleted altogether.----P^ětušek 20:06, 7 October 2017 (UTC)

The map mixes up present and past from 100 to 50 years ago. Sometimes it tries to refer to modern dialects, like the mixed dialect in western Poland, and then it shows the Polish dialects that have disappeared or are in a very small minority in modern day Belarus and Ukraine. It implies the presence of German in the Czechia, and is a simplification of the dialects in Belarus. Either it should show the dialect situation from 100 years ago or from today. Either you cut all other languages out and just show the one map with Polish, the next map with Hungarian, ect... and the dialects of that language in areas were they are not the majority separately, or you leave out the language minorities or at least do not exaggerate them to this degree if you show 10 different languages on one map.--Alternative Transport (talk) 09:16, 3 December 2018 (UTC)

Correction for Silesian dialects 2019

@Zagothal: I addressed some criticism regarding Silesian dialects: western border (see the comment above from 2015), G2 as part of Czech language, G1 for Lachian dialects in Czechia -> changed to the new G3. D T G (talk) 06:54, 17 August 2019 (UTC)

Errors with Polish

Large territories in Belarus and Ukraine are filled with solid green, which is wrong. Brest oblast has virtually no Polish speakers, neither does Ivano-Frankivsk in Ukraine. Maybe the intent of the author was to show historic distribution of the language? Either way, it was different. This must be corrected. —2dk (talk) 09:09, 1 September 2020 (UTC)

For the reference (Belarus maps represent ethnic Poles, for the language the share is much less):
