00:45, 16 May 2024Thumbnail for version as of 00:45, 16 May 20242,754 × 1,398 (1.19 MB)Rubýñ (talk | contribs)Added Cherokee and Osage, and changed Serbia to Cyrillic-Latin striped (see talk page for requests for both), but the new scripts are making the color legend unwieldy imo. I've changed all colors to hopefully make the map a) more colorblind-friendly and b) group classes of scripts together (abjads are green, alphabets are blue, etc.) I'll change the colors on all legends that use this map ASAP. If anyone can change the Cherokee and Osage dots for the actual borders of Cherokee and Osage natio...
