Fulani being added to Brazil is an error that I thought I fixed because Fulani replaced the language that existed in the database called “Brazilian” but I edited it to be Fulani and assigned it to the West African nations it is spoken in.

 

It shouldn't still be set as a Brazilian language. 

The only African languages that are documented to be spoken in Brazil still are some Nigerian languages like Yoruba in Bahia but even the percentage of speakers for this language would be so low I wouldn't include it.

 

The development level of nations in the base game is probably 20 years out of data as they had several high level economic nations in Eastern Europe as an example as “developing” which makes no sense because by every grading system these nations are considered developed.

 

To determine my rankings of what should be “developed”, “developing”, "lower developed" I used the Human Development Index with a cutoff at different numbers for each rating.

 

Adding languages to regions is part of my next project so that will be released soon.

 

Ok, that happens. However, again, I wouldn't worry very much about adding languages, the whole thing is done on a very superficial level, and to be done correctly would take a tremendous effort, since the game tries to represent only official languages of states and regions in the game, just get things somewhat correctly, you would need to do a lot of research to not forget some languages that are not official but spoken by a number that would statistically be relevant, not nly, you would need to think a way to discern between what are dialects and what are languages, something even linguists will say it's very arbitrary, and should matter somewhat, take Spanish and Portuguese as an example, there are so manu different places that speak those languages, but in many cases there are relevant divergences that they are usually considered different languages by linguists, and sometime, languages that are considered different, are said to be dialects between them by linguists

I like some of the things that you did, like changing the development level of nations (which, honestly, while the SI is more or less accuratte, doesn't make sense for the game, as an south american team wouldn't be able to hire a south american player from a different nation in europe).

However, there is one thing i disliked in your changes, the languages part. It doesn't make sense and doesn't match reality, just as an example, you added the Fulani language (Fula in game) to Brazil, that language is not spoken in Brazil, at least not in significant levels, or it would be necessary to add chinese, japanese, arabic and etc. On the other hand, Guarani, could be added to the regions of Brazil that border Paraguay, with a low percentage. To be fair, SI also doesn't jave any care for the language system in the game and it is already a mess, the only way to represent the languages somewhat would be to add new ones
