English: A world map indicating the the countries where the largest world languages are spoken. The map was based on an image in the book "Het menselijk ras" by Linda Gamlin, as well as an image in "Wolters Algemene Wereldatlas". Also included in the map are languages where these main world languages are well known and/or used as a second language. The map is intented as a map for travel purposes, indicating the locations travellers can visit when they have mastered or know (a) certain world language(s). The map thus intents to reduce the amount of languages to learn for world travel, meaning that as little as possible languages are included, and alternative main world languages are used wherever possible. The map could in a later version perhaps be improved in this respect further. An example of the simplification was Indian, Korean and Japanese; this was taken out and replaced by english, ... Some countries may still need to be given a secondairy language. Perhaps another major language needs to be added (not sure about Farsi) . Please note that there is a little mistake for Canada: the whole Quebec should be green since French is the first language for all Quebec. Spanish speaking America is always exaggerated when it comes to her size. Mexico and Central America are covered up completely, up when officially Portuguese speaking Angola and Mozambique are directly placed atop of them an a map. Whereas officially Portuguese speaking Brazil encompasses nearly half of the geographical land area of South America. Suddenly, the official Spanish speaking world is not as overbearing as hispanics like to play up. And Spain herself is not much larger than the following geographically smaller officially Portuguese speaking lands of: Portugal, Azores, Madeira, Guinea Bissau, Cape Verde, San Tome e Principe, Cabinda, East Timor and Macau. Ok, Spain, Cuba, D.R & P.R would still be a fair chunk bigger, but in the grand scheme of things, far from earthshakingly larger. But at least the Portuguese speaking nations are in a far superior position on a global scale economically, with huge trading partners such as: China, Japan, India, USA, etc., who are enthusiastically all learning how to speak Portuguese themselves, in acknowledgement of the economic importance of the Portuguese language profile in the world today. Many schools in the world (South America, North America, Central America, Europe, Africa, Australia, Asia, Oceania), have already made the learning of the Portuguese language an important part of the school curriculum, knowing full well the crucial role that this language is playing, and will continue to play in the future of our world. It is estimated that there will be roughly close to 400 million speakers of Portuguese in the world in the next 50 years. Portuguese is already the most spoken language of the Southern Hemisphere and of South America having 51% of the total number of speakers on that continent. In Africa in particular, the number of Portuguese speakers is booming! |
