The text says "Nairobi; Mombasa." Wikipedia also mentions these two cities ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nubi_language ). However, the map shows a random area North of Nairobi: is it a mistake?

Editorial Action

The Ethnologue cartographers will be looking at the interactive map for Nubi [kcn] in Kenya to make some corrections.

Dear Antoine,

Thank you for this information on the location of Nubi [kcn] speakers in Kenya.

I will pass this message on to the cartographers.

Best regards,

Dear Antoine,

Here is what I received from the cartographer:

Nubi was last updated in 2015 [....]. I would need to check the polygon and e-mail trail to see why it wasn’t added around Nairobi as well as the small dot North of Nairobi. Possibly because there is a multiple languages area around the capital which was added in the past few years. I think it’s something I will add to my list to research next year and make a decision on it if there would be a change to the polygon as I’m not planning on updating the Kenya map this year.

Chuck
