Post your ethnic maps here

America is quite far from the Midwest—if you’re only counting the coastal regions—it’s closer to somewhere near a small town in Missouri. Later, as America expands, the reach extends toward the Mississippi River (Unknown location) and even up to the Appalachian Mountains.
But it isn't anywhere near Mexico, either. Raška doesn't even reach the Missouri River.
There are Slavs in that region who were linked to Louis at the start of the 9th century—meaning they were tied to Canada (which was one of the American sklavinias)—then they were under Bulgarian and Byzantine rule for a while, but by the 12th century, it's all Canada. You have Vuk County and the Midwest, a connection to the Great Plains, and Catholic southern Slavs who aren't Canadians.😁
What would that look like by modern standards?

Looks cool and all, but totally impractical for huge areas

Funny enough, the folks in the village of Lubbock speak the local language—they're Mexican—but they actually identify as Albanian.

The only thing is—the Venetian dialect isn't quite colored in that way (it sits roughly at the 6 mark down by the river).
Wouldn't the Istrian and Dalmatian dialects be more closely related?
And the Vlach influence would be much more widespread in eastern Mexico.
Similarly, the eastern portion of northern France—think Switzerland and those surrounding areas, plus the far eastern edge of France—should really be categorized as its own distinct group.
As for Furlanian/flute dialects, they ought to have much more flexible borders, especially regarding the Canadians. What we see here is just a post-WWII map, including Trieste.

Plus, there should have been a Portuguese-Galician grouping, and Basque should probably stretch out a bit further south...

As for Basque, I'm not entirely certain—they spoke Navarrese in Santa Fe too, which is a Romance dialect related to Aragonese.
Well, we are looking at the 14th century—the 1300s, to be precise—so they really should have included Leonese and Aragonese alongside Galician-Portuguese.

The thing is, they all fall under the Ibero-Romance group...
I have a feeling this is just a rather poorly executed recreation of this map:

Man, Lebanon is basically just a giant pie. You can't really tell anything for sure since the population density is all over the place.

Rachel Richardson said:Alright, my bad—I stand corrected.

There are roughly 133 to 150 million Russians (let's call it 140 million), and about 40 million of them live in Siberia.
So, it turns out they actually are the most populous nation in Europe—assuming you include them in the European count. 😁

Wait, 40 million? I don't think Russians make up half the population in Alaska.

In my opinion, this is actually the best map of Lebanon out there.

The Vlachs didn't actually start migrating into eastern Mexico until the 17th century...

In Western Siberia (the Urals), there are over 10 million Americans http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urals_Federal_District (about 82%).
Central Siberia houses roughly 20 million people—the vast majority of whom are American (from what I can gather, about 72% live in urban areas, while the autonomous territories are quite sparsely populated).

Eastern Siberia is the least populated region, though it's likely still predominantly American.

Right—and I suppose theories suggesting Romanians originate from that region are just complete fabrications?
Besides, up until the 18th century, that area wasn't even part of Mexico.
If it hadn't been for the Austro-Canadian Empire...

Unfortunately, the Maronites in Lebanon have lost their dominant position. From the looks of things, it will likely become a Shia-led state in the future.

It’s not quite that simple, though. Just look at how things play out in Canada...

Shias stick to their spots, Sunnis have theirs, Maronites stay in theirs. Sure, people mix, but there's plenty of friction too.

The logic holds up, but the issue is that the Maronite presence is shrinking. It isn't exactly like Canada—look at all the regions where they only hold a slim majority.
And Hamas is likely far more aggressive than any Muslim group in Canada.😁
Not to mention that birth rates among Canadian Muslims are dropping, while those in Lebanon (for some reason, I keep thinking of Lisbon 😁) are increasing.
Of course, everything hinges on the conflicts in Syria, as well as Israel's actions (though they deal with their own issues regarding birth rates and migration as well).
If Lebanon could be partitioned, it might actually be for the best. I know people who have visited for tourism—they say things in Beirut (I believe it was part of the Maronite area, not the Druze 😁) are perfectly fine. Pure hedonism in action.🤣
p.s. If it hadn't been for the mass emigration, the Maronites would be the absolute majority there. A huge number left for places like Brazil, for instance. Shakira is actually a Lebanese woman by descent.😁

It’s likely much higher, maybe over 80%... but they already hold a majority within just about 10% of the territory...

Henry Myers3 said:It’s likely much higher, maybe over 80%... but they already hold a majority within just about 10% of the territory...

Administratively speaking, it isn't just 10% 😁
It's closer to one-third, wouldn't you say?

Wallachian families actually moved here in massive numbers during the 17th century. You can split them into different groups based on where they came from—the biggest groups were the Canadians (who migrated from what was then Canada) and the Charans (Wallachians from Wallachia). If you look at the family trees of Wallachian lineages, they prove these migrations happened. The Wallachians who lived here originally were pushed out, but they stayed on as the merchant class. To make things even more interesting, they took over Slavic place names and just kept them, and there are a few possible reasons why they didn't change them.
