RE: Map and analysis of ALL non-English European communities on Steemit with my advices about tags
Great (and hard work), @lukmarcus.
i am from Galiza (Europe) and my native language is Galego, from where born the Portuguese.
I'm tagging as #galego #Portugues, Although I need one tag who include all dialectal variants of this language (Brazilian, Portugués, galego and also the Portuguese Creoles from África.
The general term to define all the languages born from Galician is "lusofonía", but I agree with Aline Franzao that we should use #galeguia to avoid reminiscences of the imperialist past of Portugal.
Galician is not an official language in any country and it's listed as recognised regional language. But as far as I know there are some posts in Galician on Steemit.
Mmmm Well.... let's see ...
Galicia (Galiza) is a Country, but not a State and have two official languages: Galician and Spanish:
I think that it is more than a "regional" language.
" is an autonomous community of Spain and historic nationality under Spanish law.[1] Located in the northwest of the Iberian Peninsula,"
Two languages are official and widely used today in Galicia: the native Galician, a Romance language closely related to Portuguese, with which it shares Galician-Portuguese medieval literature, and the Spanish language, usually known locally as Castilian. 56% of the Galician population speak Galician as their first language, while 43% speak more in Castilian

As galician I will be deeply grateful that the galician (official language, not regional) is included in the next revision of your article.
If you do not, we'll still having an official language for the rest of the world except in "Steemit Planet".
It will no matter. We will survive!!! 😉
(and don't worry. Already stopped. I would like you see it with our eyes.)
PS: Maintain this serious, critical and documented line of work:
Kind Regards from Galiza.
But this article is not about autonomous communities. Even on Galicia Wiki you can find information Country: Spain. Galicia is also not listed on List of sovereign states and dependent territories in Europe.
Maybe next time I will include some of the biggest communities like Galician :)
True:
Galiza is not a sovereign state.This is a long (our) political battle.
It may be necessary to discuss the concepts of Country and State, but letś leave it for another time.
Thank you for your patiente.
This is for you. Posts till 25th May.
Galician
Official language in: Galicia (Spain)
Native speakers: 2.4 million (2012)
Summary
There are eight Galician posts on Steemit in May and only three of them have a language-like tag. There is some potential in creating a community, but they need more authors and better organisation. It’s hard to say in what direction it will go.
BETTER NOT continue publishing with tag:
NOT suggested tags for the community:

A lot of thanks of all galician speakers.
I had already contemplated that the tag #galego-portugues was a bad idea.
Thanks Again.
I think, any language, independent of in which state it is spoken, should be listed as long ad there is a (considerable) user base in steemit.
It was hard enough to find posts in all official languages. I can't imagine doing the same for all European languages...
I share yout view about increased complexity
