Mapping Branches

Mapping Branches is a term commonly used to refer to styles of how mappers make Mapping videos. There are two main different types of mapping. Videos made by the half-mappers are one kind, made more for historical accuracy less so for entertainment purposes. Since these are more supposed to be more informative, they do not feature talking countries. Videos made MervueMeringue and the rest of the other mappers are the second kind. These are geared more toward entertainment and less for historical accuracy, although they still are considered to be historically accurate to some extent. The latter kind has many different sub branches. Mappers refer to these sub branches as "dialects".

If a dialect becomes very common enough, and if most mappers agreed, the common dialect will become the Modern dialect, and the old dialect will become a Traditional one.
