South Sudan edit

The map does not show South Sudan.

^Since the territory of Sudan in this image includes South Sudan, and the map displays geographical regions with Arabic as a spoken language, would the delineation of South Sudan be necessary?

Morocco edit

Morocco has two official languages - Arabic and Tamazight. The map should be corrected. Solar-Wind (talk) 01:24, 22 July 2011 (UTC)Reply

Yes I agree, Morocco shall be blue and Western Sahara shall be covered in blue and green stripes. Zambitious (talk) 21:16, 4 August 2011 (UTC)Reply

Algeria edit

As far as I am concerned, Algeria also has two official (or national) languages, Arabic and Tamazight. The map should be corrected again! 203.135.190.6 (talk) 14:55, 25 December 2011 (UTC)Reply

Do you have a verifiable reliable source for that assertion?   — Jeff G. ツ (talk) 14:57, 25 December 2011 (UTC)Reply
As far as I remember, Tamazight was recognized as a national language by a constitutional amendment in May 2002.

One more verifiable reliable source, but in Arabic. http://www.aljazeera.net/analysis/pages/f8e7fa8f-32ee-4612-b4f7-23c37b5a4da0. Xander.Dedeche (talk) 07:19, 23 February 2012 (UTC)Reply

Mauritania edit

The national languages of Mauritania are Arabic, Pulaar, Soninke, and Wolof; the official language is Arabic. so should the map be updated to show Mauritania in blue (or green)?--Gaga.vaa (talk) 09:14, 30 October 2012 (UTC)Reply

Lebanon blue edit

Since French is co-official in Lebanon, it should blue instead of green on that map. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 159.51.236.11 (talk) 13:30, 5 December 2012 (UTC)Reply
