Indo-European languages - adding a figure to the infobox very different from that in the text
[edit]Despite the text saying 3.19etc billion speakers, you added close to 4 billion, which contradicted the text. Doug Weller talk 17:48, 13 April 2018 (UTC)
Map in Western world
[edit]@Kraken44: You removed the map on the Western World page with the excuse: "Also if Latin America is western because Christianity why Serbia, Belarus and Ukraine are not western?"
I answer: Another term used to be Western is the language of the country or region. South Africa and Latin America have Western languages (West Germanic languages, West Iberian languages, Italo-Western languages, Western Romance languages). Serbia, Russia, Ukraine and Belarus don't speak any Western language and for this reason aren't normally considered Western countries. Allice Hunter (talk) 18:41, 13 May 2018 (UTC)
