Red line - Political border. When dashed it means mobile, basically because of war or migration/expansion.
Coloured areas - Languages and/or peoples.

Scandinavian peoples have their own route to America; they have reached Greenland and are about to discover Labrador, Newfoundland and Vinland.

[quote dhok, Alkali Metal, Tsonholong Suma, Mongolia]I can't speak to the Mesoamerican side of things, but your timing is off if you want the Algonquian Confederacy to be much of a state. The corn/beans/squash package is very recent in New England--probably no earlier than about 1300 AD. You'll have more luck with the Mississippians, but they're much further inland, of course.

Of course, you have full license to handwave as much away as you'd like...[/quote]

Perhaps you understood that I was going to have one Germanic language, because of what I wrote above? In this alter-hist-world Germanic languages are spoken pretty much in the same areas...

The Aztec discovery of Europe :
This is going to work as a scratchpad:

Yesterday I was boring and I draw a map of Europe with borders like those of the USA and Canada, this is mostly straight lines no matter the orography. I thought that it looked nice enough and that it would serve nicely as a map for an alternative history conworld. One in which the native Americans discovered Europe and subsequent historical events happened in a more or less similar way, quite reminiscent of the centuries after the Discovery™ (expa...

More about tomatoes and potatoes from Isharia:

Whimemsz came up with this, which appears in some webpages about tomatoes:
[box]"Be that as it may, in this oft-repeated version the name wolfpfirsich referred to the tomato's round shape, reminiscent of a peach, while the "wolf" modifier derived from the Germanic folk belief that werewolves could be called up using other members of the Solanaceae family, such as nightshade and wolf bane."[/box]

On words, lexicons and etymologies :
Sometimes —perhaps too often— I don't find enough interesting ideas or meanings to create new words for my conlang's lexicons. While I have protolanguages (and proto-roots) for my most developed conlangs, there are occasions where I just can't derive a word from a proto-root for whatever reason; for example:

    • The proto-root has been exploited too much.
    • The proto-root gives too ugly or bland words.
    • I just don't want to play with p...
