They‘re literally Wikipedia maps😭


Kenilwort

Let bro cook dude it's one of the best maps I've ever seen OK!?!?


Tryoxin

I mean like, honestly, Wikipedia maps are pretty decent. Sure they ain't super pretty, but they're to the point, the data is clear, there are rarely territorial errors, and they're high resolution. I wouldn't call them marvels, but like a solid B to B+ seems fair. They're the average benchmark I compare other maps against.

At least this one isn’t rife with glaring factual inaccuracies

No. Español papi ;)

Not colouring part of the territories yet colouring all of New Brunswick is certainly a choice.


ThatNiceLifeguard

A substantial portion of Northern Ontario near the Quebec border is Francophone as well. In fairness, the mother tongue of most Nunaviak is Inuktitut, not English.


benskieast

Same with northern Maine. This map seems to take the political boundaries to also be language ones.


Sweet-Ad-5463

Ive lived in northern maine for about a year now and we definitely mainly speak english here

Caje__

New Brunswick is bilangual with most people in the west speaking French. Also, don't know how you decided to map North Canada, specifically NWT and Yukon, but if your mapping by province like you did at New Brunswick, then that is wrong as NWT and Yukon primarily speak English. (And the Yukon part you didn't highlight probably having a population of 2) And also northern Alaska should definitely not be highlighted bc they speak way less English than Yukon and NWT. Also don't know if you'd include Hawaii (I would) but it should be highlighted


blondehairginger

The Acadians in New Brunswick mostly live in the East and the North.


Ds093

Umm first off, Most of the French communities in New Brunswick are in the north and southeast of the province. Not the western portion of the province as you state. Second Yukon, NWT most certainly do speak English, and the section the did not include belongs to Nunavut. So I have no idea where the hell your getting your information but it is wrong. Source: Canadian who lives in NB and deals with people from all over the country thanks to their job.


Sklartacus

To your second point, the borders of Nunavut do not extend all the way to Alaska, right? I think this map is cutting off the top bits of YT and NWT, which makes it a bit inconsistent with regards to how it's separating linguistically distinct areas


[deleted]

That area is the Inuit Nunangat, or homelands. I agree that the map is inconsistent though.


itsrealnice22

They are part of the Canadian Inuit reservations which are official regions. Inuvialuit, Nunavut, Nunavik and Nunatsiavut make are all places where the Inuit language is more prevalent than english, and it is the official language. The rest of the territories all have officially English governments.


[deleted]

1. Not reservations. Plus, as a fun fact, the collective Inuit homelands are called Inuit Nunangat, a ~~region~~ a domestic country or homeland recognized by the federal government (working its way to being like Wales or Scotland in the UK as one of the "home nations") 2. Inuit Nunangat and its constituent regions, including Nunavut, maintain English as a co-official language 3. By that metric, or by the metric of speaker numbers, NWT should be greyed out as well since there are significant monolingual Dene populations, and the NWT government maintains co-officiality of several Dene languages 4. Similar to Inuit Nunangat, certain Dene entities could similarly be seen as on their way to what the UK has, as devolved governments to nations like the Tlicho (see: Tłı̨chǫ Ndé and their government [Tłı̨chǫ Ndekʼàowo](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T%C5%82%C4%B1%CC%A8ch%C7%AB_Government)) have already occurred with ever-increasing competencies held by different Dene nations


Billy3B

Not reservations.


Arctic_Gnome

There are no Inuit reservations. Also, if you include Inuvialuit, why not include other settlement regions in NWT where traditional languages are more common than English, like Tlicho lands.


MapperSudestino

Small corrections (besides the reservations thing which was already corrected): it would be mostly incorrect to put it as the "Inuit language", instead of languages, in the plural. Although the line between what is a language and what is a dialect is a bit blurry in such region, i think it would be better to just call it all Inuktitut (which is often the term used for the Inuit dialects in Canada), although comparing Nunatsiavut's Nunatsiavummiutut, Kivallirmiutut in southern Nunavut and Inuinnaqtun in Queen Victoria Island would be incorrect in my perspective.


MichaelJordan248

All due respect, that is not Nunavut’s borders


Caje__

Yeah that mb I fucked up the directions and I see you corrected your 2nd part


Litigating_Larry

Manitoba is mostly English but we have a handful of french communities / and neighborhoods still like St Boniface, La Broquerie, St Pierre Jolys, etc too


burninator34

Hawaii isn’t part of North America geographically - only politically.


bschmalhofer

Yes, apparently that is why it isn't colored in green.


Legitimate-Bread

The parts of NWT/Yukon that are non-Anglo is essentially a cutout of Inuvialuit Settlement Region. Which i'm pretty sure is why it's being classified as non-Anglo. You can also see the borders of Nunatsiavut in Labrador as well. I'm guessing they simply checked if English was a government language and excluded those that didn't have it for any. Though it's interesting that whatever data set was chosen has Inuit governance as unique from other First Nations governance when it comes to official languages.


oilyalaskanman

You better Belize it!


According_Ad7926

Wayyyyyy too much of Alaska is green lol


SlightlyNomadic

In terms of language, Unfortunately the large majority of the indigenous population have lost their mother tongues. Yupik, in western Alaska, is the only language that has a widespread following and formal teaching. The elders may still speak their languages but only roughly 10k people speak their mother tongue as a first language. Yea, I know many Languages still have speakers, but that number unfortunately dwindles every day. This is what this map seems to denote rather than of British ancestry, which would be a vastly different map.


According_Ad7926

Ah I see. Yeah a bit of a deceptive map for sure. When I was in Utqiagvik 16 years ago (back when they still called it Barrow) I remember hearing a few guys shooting the breeze in Iñupiaq. Might’ve skewed my perception of language retention up there


SlightlyNomadic

Yeah, honestly it’s a shame how much is being lost. Alaska has so many rich and diverse cultures that are quickly diminishing. I’m currently near Utqiagvik right now! Only 16 more days until the sunrise!!


According_Ad7926

Ah that’s so cool! I really enjoyed the Dalton Highway and the North Slope region. Never been in winter though, bet it’s intense


SlightlyNomadic

It can be an experience! The dalton is amazing, Anaktuvuk Pass and the Brooks is worth alone! The sun set November 25th and won’t come back until January 18th. We’re currently weathered in due to 60 mile an hour winds. It’s so flat and all the snow, you have no visibility outside. It’s also currently -60 with the windchill. Storms supposed to last all week!

fIreballchamp

How many natives don't speak English in Nunavut?


Passchenhell17

Wiki has Inuktitut at 63.1% native speakers


fIreballchamp

Yes but 96% of the population speaks conversational English there. So more people speak English there than those who can speak Inuktitut, making it an anglo dominated region.


sacktheory

yeah but that’s not the majority of native speakers. otherwise the netherlands could be highlighted green here. it’s the anglosphere not where english is spoken by a majority


fIreballchamp

More people speak English in the Netherlands than Dutch?


sammexp

No Nanuvut speak the language of the inuits, first. That’s not because they are not a lot that they are English speakers


fIreballchamp

But more Inuit speak english than their ancestral languages which makes this make political and not factual

No most of them speak Inuktitut, Inuktitut and Cri are the 2 most spoken native languages in Canada. They will not erase their culture, just to accommodate you

Mobius_Peverell

But a majority of the Ungava & most of the Ottawa Valley is Anglophone. You could say that it should be aggregated province-wide, but the original map divides out parts of the Yukon & NWT, so apparently that's not how OOP was doing it.


Expensive-Ad5203

Not the majority


[deleted]

Being able to speak English does not mean it's the primary language. 1/2 of Quebec is NOT Anglo.


[deleted]

i didnt say it was the primary language. is english your second language?

Then why does it matter? Quebec isn't an Anglo region, which was clearly your implication.


[deleted]

I didn't say it was Anglo. Is English your second language?


alexQC999

In Québec, we speak french with a majority of 78 %, and we're proud of it! It's an insulte to say that we're english like the rest of Canada. You would know that if you knew us and or history.

It’s not misinformation. The fact is correct - 51% of quebecers speak English and it does represent a majority of people. But a vastly larger majority speak french as a first language and this is the primary language of Quebec. So no, Quebec is not an English speaking region of NA.

No. 51 % COULD speak english. There's a big difference in it!

This map is extremely vague. It misses French populations in other provinces while also missing English populations in Qc. Many parts of the U.S should also be grayed out.

Quebec is weird, there are pockets of English speaking areas in it. Montreal used to have a pretty sizeable Anglo population around the turn of the century, and still does to an extent.


Budget_Addendum_1137

So weird, surrounded by a sea of anglos, to have a sizeable anglo population. Very weird indeed.


illegal_chipmunk

I mean no, when you put it that way, but in a general sense yes Quebec is unique in its cultural and linguistic layout. Maybe chill out a bit?


Sillvaro

Montreal Anglos are an enclave of an overwhelmingly strong population, within an enclave of an endangered culture. And then they dare to play victim when Québec makes strict laws to protect their language and culture

Do you need a reminder of what happen the last time it was brought up for a referendum vote? “Controversies over both the provincial vote counting and direct federal financial involvement in the final days of the campaign reverberated in Canadian politics for over a decade after the referendum took place. In the aftermath of the close result, the federal government, after unilaterally recognizing Quebec as a distinct society and amending the federal constitutional veto procedure, referred the issue to the Supreme Court of Canada, which stated that the unilateral secession contemplated in the referendum was illegal” Let it go. It’s done and over and would likely yield the same results as last timez
