if your doing german names for territories here are a few corrections(what Ulti said)

GERMANY/DEUTSCHLAND
Bavaria= Bayern
Munich= München
Wurzburg= Würzburg
Nurmberg= Nürnberg
Hesse= Hessen
Cologne= Köln
Dusseldorf= Düsseldorf
Wurttenburg= Württemberg

AUSTRIA/ÖSTERREICH
Vienna= Wien

SWITZERLAND/SCHWEITZ
Zurich= Zürich

*umlauts are important*

Another thing I recommend is maybe doing a country bonus- ex. Germany, Sweden, United Kingdom.
Doing so allows you to put more German names for the countries- ex. Denmark=Dänemark.

Other than names its a good map, I never knew German was spoken in Norway and Greenland.

Well, german isn't spoken in norway and sweden lol, but norwegian and swedish are somewhat similar to german, and they're from the same language family, called the germanic languages.

Still, I think it would be better to include Elsaß, take out the non-German parts of Schweiz and Belgien and the Hebrides where actually Scottish Gaelic is dominant. And to include åland and other parts of Finland. Just do the yellow part of that map you showed.

(the middle and dark blue shade is where Swedish is dominant)

I'll include those parts of finland then, But I thought Alsace was primarily french speaking nowadays?

Also, I think it's probably better to leave in luxembourg and flanders. In luxembourg, most people speak luxembourgish or english, and most people in flanders speak dutch, all germanic languages.

actually, most people in Luxembourg speak Luxemburgish or French, not necessarily English (excepted foreigners).

As for Alsace, it is true nowadays French is the dominant language, nonetheless it is the historical/ancestral language, and many still speak it despite Parisian Jacobinist efforts to annihilate it.

Luxembourgish is a Germanic language- and is spoken in Luxembourg.

German is also the #1 language in Namibia.

It's pretty ridiculous to assume that there are precisely or approximately zero native speakers of english in any country, much less a country where 60% of the population speaks english.

I don't think you should measure this by second tongues, otherwise you'd need to include most of Europe in this category. It's also harder to measure that native speakers.

And yeah, Alsatian is mostly, but fully not dead, however, the majority is still German in Südtirol, I think it should be included as well.

You should have started with this map.

Also, tiny nitpick, but åland is not part of Sweden, it is of Finland.

Also, Greenland is not part of Europe.

Also, I think you should divide superboni by tongue, not by country.

I haven't taken second lasnguages into account at all; Luxembourgish is spoken by a majority of people in luxembourg as well as being an official language.

Greenland isn't technically part of europe, but it is part of denmark, so I felt that it should be included.
