[edit] unpopulated vs. non-turkic speaking regions

It seems odd to me that Uzbekistan, for example, is so spotty, despite 80-85% of the country speaking turkic (uzbek, tajik, etc.) [1]. It seems to me that there should be different colors for regions that dont speak a turkic language, and those that are just underpopulated... Or is the concentration of turkic languages in central asia really just more disperse than I thought? Brianski 14:46, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Sources of the map?

I don't know on whose basis this map has been made. I only know that this map is more wrong than right.

At all events on protected details based these are specified my map in the Turkish Wikipedia (The area of distribution of the Turkic peoples) below.
