The map looks as if only those languages are spoken in those areas........Megistias (talk) 22:13, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

FYROM is the correct term. This map needs a serious overhaul. 79.103.188.196 (talk) 18:02, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

The map shows Arvanitika spoken in a far larger area than its actual extent-about 25% of the area shown on the map. Southern Slavic dialects spoken in northern Greece are different to the main dialect spoken in FYROM and should not be labeled as "Macedonian". Greek remains the predominant spoken language in all the linguistic minorities areas, with the exception of the Pomac and Turkish areas in north-east Greece. The solid shading on the map implies that Greek is completely replaced by other languages in these areas. In addition, sizeable pockets where Greek is the only language exist within the 'Aromanian' and 'Slavic' areas. Michail0171 (talk) 13:50, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

The map should use the name "FYROM" instead of "Rep. of Macedonia". This is after all the page for Greece and this is the name that Greece uses for this country, let alone the UN. Why make it more provocative than it already is? When the name dispute is resolved it should be revisited of course. I'm not taking any stance regarding the language/minority issue but this cannot stay as is.85.74.35.203 (talk) 04:07, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
