  • My 2 cents: I have a similar relation with smartphones as yours.

    In my case, what I fear the most is some app getting my contact list and using it to send some kind of “XXX has joined YYY service” notification to all of them. Also, I didn’t like that Google had all the data they wanted, so I ended with 2 smartphones:

    • One de-googled (LineageOS without Google Apps) that I use for calls and trusted apps. This one has my contacts list.
    • One default Android-Google without simcard for those apps that require oficial-Android (mainly banks apps) and any app I’m afraid could mess with the contact list.

    AFAIK I’ve only had one incident because I trusted Telegram too much. There is always non-zero risk, but this works for me.

    Languages are categorized by linguistic families by colours.

    So Spanish and Portugese (both being Romance) are redish shades, similarly other linguistic groups share similar shades indicating these are closely related languages. (this scheme breaks down quite a bit with so many languages but generally it checks out here, if you have some linguistic background)

    The map does not include labels as to no obscure the detail we put into it, so I guess this map is mainly for ppl who already have some linguistic landscape knowledge.

    Area’s which have between 30 to 70% majority are shown as striped.

    Area’s with a population density below 1p/km2 are shown as sparsely populated. This does not mean no one lives there but rather that a single immigrant family can add Korean to the Sahara desert, which is not what this map is about.

    Languages with less than 20,000 speakers in a populated area are not shown. (This mainly to exclude the native american languages that are overwhelmingly outpopulated in states such as NY or CA)

    Linguistic Isolates are shown in various grey shades.
