Languages in Europe
Just a few words to explain this linguistic map of Europe: By their nature, maps are simplified representations of the reality, in this case of the linguistic reality in Europe, which is very complex. This is why a linguistic situation might be very difficult to represent on a map.
On this map, we can see linguistic majorities with official recogniation and linguistic minorities with official recognition. Only the most important minorities are represented. Let us see an example:
In Spain, Spanish is the official language in the whole country, while other languages can be co-official in some territories (Comunidades Autónomas). The Catalan language is co-official in Catalonia and Valencia (valenciano), but only in Catalonia the majority of the population speaks Catalan as their mother tongue. In Valencia the majority speaks Spanish. Now, these demographics can be different depending on which part of the territory we are looking at. Spanish might be majoritarian in some parts of Barcelona for example (even if it is a minority if we take into account the whole territory of Catalonia). This is why Catalan is represented as a majority in Catalonia, with a Spanish minority. It should also be noted that most Catalan speakers also speak Spanish.
This is to say that this map can give a global view over the linguistic situation, but each situation can be different and would possibly need a lot of further explanation.

The abbreviations used in this map are ISO 639-2 codes. See a full list here.

Chinatowns in Europe
Chinatowns are neighborhoods with mainly Chinese residents and Chinese shops or restaurants. The origins of Chinatowns are quite diverse and sometimes today‘s Chinatowns have become a tourist attraction with a scenic entry gate (paifeng), lights and statues.
Although most European countries have seen Chinese immigration to some extent, with the opening of Chinese restaurants and other type of shops, only in some places they are concentrated to form a Chinese street or neighborhood. And not all of them are equally exploited for tourism. For that reason the following map is a selection of the most known and concentrated Chinese neighborhoods.
