Lack of widespread areas

[edit]

The map is outdated as it stands now, for example guttural r is and has for centuries been widespread throughout the south-west coast between Bergen and Kristiansand, plus a little farther north and south-east of those cities in recent times, this is especially along the coast of Norway, since guttural r has and is spreading rapidly and has gained a foothold in these areas for many years. --OnWikiNo (talk) 13:02, 24 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Southern Netherlands, Brabant

[edit]

The southern Netherlands were recently changed by a user from "general" to "not common". This is ridiculous. Brabant now uses the uvular r exclusively. This may not have been the case 70 years ago. But you can't go from "not common" to "general" in such a short time. Make it one of the intermediate colours. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.188.182.151 (talk) 02:28, 23 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The map reflects what the cited source indicates. If you can find a more recent source, that would be ideal. We can't change the map without sourcing. — Ƶ§œš¹ [lɛts b̥iː pʰəˈlaɪˀt] 13:18, 23 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
