28 distinct language groups, plus lingering unclassifieds
The "New World" is a eurocultural term applied to the majority of Earth's Western Hemisphere, specifically the Americas.
I did leave the term linked to eurocentrism, because that does provide useful context.
I must confess that I do get a bit hot under the collar over the reverse bigotry implied by blindly lumping "New World" under eurocentrism.
"New" was effectively a synonym for "unexplored" and this was not a European construct. None of the peoples of the New World possessed even rudimentary maps of the continental extent of the Western Hemisphere, and most likely every native population had a different (and incompatible) human origin story.
As a result, suitable non-Eurocentric vocabulary for the entire enchilada was extremely thin on the ground.
I suppose the optimally inclusive solution was along the lines of LGBTQ+, with an additional letter or symbol added with each distinct population encountered, thought that might finally have become bulky with 28 distinct languages groups now identified in North America alone. —MaxEnt00:34, 11 April 2021 (UTC)Reply
I looked at that map again. You actually need to add the legends on the left and right together, so 28 is a vast underestimate. —MaxEnt00:42, 11 April 2021 (UTC)Reply
