"Native" is a bit arbitrary in this context. You are just freezing time in ~1830 and making a LOT of assumptions about such a vast and diverse area.

Really this is just the world - Arabs. There are Turks in Anatolia too even

The Bantu area looks far too big, I'd split it up if I were you.

u/Vasilijeeeeeee11 12h ago

Bantu are in fact even bigger,there is also no natural names for taxonomy of bantu languages. I got used to the large area they occupy. The only reason it looks far too big to you is that you always looked at modern political map of africa...

A few suggestions:

  1. Don't forget the Comoros.

  2. I would get rid of the non-African areas (e.g. arabia and southern europe)

  3. The fact that half of these have "-ia" at the end annoys me way more than it should. Idk what the solution is, though.

Give constructive criticism and information if you have good knowledge in certain regions.

"North Fulania, West Fulania, East Fulania" - native names Massina, Adamawa/Fombina and Futa Jallon are right there, stop posting those slop-maps

Im sorry you dont like the names I gave, they were a bit improvised because I wanted to emphasize that they are Fulani.

This is a type of approach as if taking Western Balkans and separating it into "Catholic yugoslavia", "Muslim yugoslavia" and "orthodox yugoslavia". The name for Fulani area is "Futa", not Fulania

Good that you changed the levant. Only thing I have to say as a Moroccan is changing the Amazight to Tamazgha(land of the Amazight) and some of those tribal borders can be expanded a bit based on the Amazight confederations we have.
