Overview map of the peoples of Europe |
|
Size and geographic distribution of the 87 peoples of Europe according to Pan & Pfeil (2004). [1]
Font size reflects population size (groups smaller than 2 million not to scale) Groups not shown due to lack of geographic concentration: Roma (3.8 million), Jews (1.3 million), Karaim (4,600). Small Caucasian groups (<0.2 million) not shown in map: Cherkes, Karachays, Lak, Tabasarans, Balkars, Nogais, Rutuls, Tats, Tsakhurs.

key to font size: sqrt(population in million/10) e.g. Russians: 122 million -- sqrt(12.2)=349%; Portuguese: 11.6 million -- sqrt(1.16)=108%; Icelanders: 0.25 million -- sqrt(.025)=16%, but shown as 45% (minimal font size)
