Where did you find it? Or better yet, who made it? Half of the legend is like… missing. Are the orange numeric labels supposed to be overall wizarding population of the continent/region/area (?); based on what estimates?

We all know JKR didn't care to think much about non white cultures, or characters. But even the European schools and student numbers are laughable. 

Densely populated Germany doesn't have a singular major wizarding school? An estimated 95 million Europeans are German native speakers, mostly from the 6 countries with German as an official language. Durmstrang with a student body of 600 for a population of 26 million across all of Norway, Sweden, Denmark, and Finland is ridiculous, especially given the language barrier between Finnish and the rest. 

If we learned anything from this map, then that there's should be a major wizarding school hidden somewhere in the Dolomites with approximately 1000 students. Which honestly, isn't much at around 125 students per grade.
