For instance in the Kashmir region , you have mingled several languages into one showing just Kashmiri and tibetan.

The caption on the map is accurate, your title isn’t
It’s basically a hypothetical of if there was a country to language correspondence in Asia, with larger languages with 4M+ speakers absorbing nearly areas with less spoken languages. It’s not an incredibly useful “language map” in the sense of showing what regions speak what.
I’m pretty sure I first saw this on r/imaginarymaps where it’s far more appropriate

Sylheti and Chatgaiya are intelligible to a good degree with Bangla. It may be hard to understand if you only spoke standard Bangla but nothing completely distinct

Bahasa indonesia and melayu are different, tho the bahasa indonesia has melayu influence. But, also different languages included so as a whole Bahasa indonesia is different from melayu.

Shouldn’t hindustani cover the placement of Rajasthani considering hindi spoken more then merwari and other local languages

Perhaps I’m missing seeing Cantonese? Or is Cantonese a more umbrella term for several other Chinese languages that I’m seeing?

Actually what does define a language anyway?

Turkmen have more than 4 millions native speakers

Being guided by absolute value is a logical fallacy. What matters is the percentage of the population that speaks a language. And besides, based on what criterion do you label an area?

Zazaki doesnt really have more than 4 million native speakers

Persian and Arabic colors are way too close.
Chevronmobil on
If you are going to unite all the Turkic subgroups why separate zazas and kurds?

tbh, bhojpuri and hindustani are mutually intelligible

Sylheti and Chttagonian are just dialects of Bengali.
