Map error

This map curiously suggests that Hokkaido uses katakana but not Chinese characters. In fact Hokkaido is the same as the rest of Japan in its script. --Kleinzach 05:00, 7 April 2011 (UTC)

Ainu uses pure katakana. That's a red dot on the Japanese background. — kwami (talk) 05:32, 7 April 2011 (UTC)

The modern inhabitants of Hokkaido are overwhelmingly Japanese. There are no Ainu that exclusively use katakana and it's unlikely there ever were. (The very few pure Ainu who remain are all fully literate in Japanese.) Please amend the map. Thank you. --Kleinzach 06:13, 7 April 2011 (UTC)
