Below is a map the EHL has
published charting the major linguistic heritage of the European
continent. As with ethnic heritage and religion, language
heritage is the keystone which symbolizes the organic nations
of Europe. As in studying our other ethno-cartographic maps,
studying the below map will gain a better understanding of
European cultural heritage and the impact they have upon the
world. If you have any questions about why certain countries
and peoples practice a certain language, feel free to notify
us.
Mapping Information &
Extra Notes:
Note that naturally, the
colouring on this map refers to the national language heritage
of that region or country. Minority languages or dialects
are not discerned, though they are noted as regional dialects
like Sorbian in Poland.
