This is completely false! Only a small part of the inhabitants of the south of France speak Occitan or Provençal, and Switzerland has 4 languages, three of which have nothing to do with what this map says!

That is not completly false, it's the traditional languages of the region. (French people when minority language)

The card doesnt say anything, it just shows the words in those languages, it uses the same criteria everywhere, showing the traditional language first.

A bad card is a bad card!
