This map needs another projection -- Turkey looks tiny while the Yakut territory looks gigantic :) dab (ᛏ) 09:18, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] European Russia

The map omits several Turkic peoples in European Russia - and also the Quasi-Turkic Chuvash?


[edit] Laz language region in Turkey

Laz language spoken in Trabzon, Rize and north-east Giresun in Turkey.

[edit] Khakassia, Altai, Tuva, Taymyria

The map doesn't seems fact, should be update. Zaparojdik 21:41 17 October 2006 (UTC)

[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.
