I have seen this map before and it is completetely wrong. It represents regions in which there are some minorities as being entirely inhabited by those minorities. In Russia, for example they have assumed that ethnic minorities dominate in their republics, which is usually not the case - especially in Karelia, where the Karelian population is less than 10%. Most of the minorities in France are not so widely represented, and the use of their language is very limited. The Saami majority areas are greatly overstated. There are other mistakes as well: they have included a non-existing Macedonian minority in Bulgaria, while the rather large Turkish minority on the map is not added.
I could go on, but I think I've said enough about the validity of the map.
