I think the Thai script may derive from some Sanskrit-related script, but the Thai language itself is in a family called the Kra--Dai languages, formerly known as Tai--Kadai
Good to see where people live, not just colouring whole countries.
Although maybe the really empty areas (desert, tundra, jungle) should be paler or dots.
Within each family there is much diversity, and each language combines multiple roots.
Maybe terms like indo-european are too broad, obscuring the minority mix-ins?

Isn’t Thai Indo-European, being related to Sanskrit?
