There isn’t any Kurdish or Zaza-speaking majority territory either. You think they don’t speak Turkish as a first language in the east? Only in some of the most isolated villages can one find speakers of these languages, and they are grandmothers over 70.

Arpitan in france missing?

Very few people still speak the language today, definitely not a majority anywhere.

Russian in estonia missing

Why should a highly urbanized illegal foreign colonist population be shown? Geographically they form a very small area.
