      I don’t think Papua New Guinea’s colour is right, as Wikipedia says the most spoken language there is Tok Pisin, a English-based creole

    3. Nepal should be partly green ,NE India purple (they have Sino-Tibetan languages) and South india should be another color for Dravidian languages.

      Paraguay should also be green; also why is Luxembourg grey and shouldn’t Malta be afrosiatic given that Maltese is a semitic language and closely related to Arabic?

      The hypothetical legacy of the Kurgan culture is arguably why Indo-European languages currently dominate. Give some guys the horse, the wheel, and metallurgy earlier on and then let things gradually play out over time. Of course there were a few other factors like the European age of exploration and colonialism that helped but still more or less part of that gradual ripple effect.

    8. Nepali is the most spoken language in Nepal, which shares roots with Hindi. Both are Indo European languages.
