The global spread of the Indo-european language family

Ephera ,

Is that strip across Russia simply the populated parts of Russia? Presumably, the North is too cold for much more than a few secluded villages...

For a moment, I thought, that might be a remnant of the Silk Road, but that was quite a bit further south...

Ephera ,

I'm guessing, it doesn't list the colonizers there, because in terms of numbers, they're irrelevant...

Ephera ,

Then I guess, I was guessing wrong? I'm not trying to claim anything and I did specify "there", because I did notice the Americas and Australia. I assumed, the definition of "native speaker" was maybe a bit special here...

Ephera , (edited )

My thinking was that South Africa might have had more immigrants from Europe and such than e.g. Congo. At least, I believe, South Africa is particularly known for having many white folks there. But yeah, I'm also just spitballing...
