Speakers of the Caronian language constitute a minority of the population in several large countries. ██ █████████████ ████ ███ ███████████ ████ ███ ███████ █████ █████████████████ ████ ██ ███████ ████████ ██ ██ ███████████ ██████ ██ █████ █████████████████ █████ ████ █ █████████ ███ █████████████████ ████ ██ ████████ ██████ █████████ █████ ████ ██████ ██ ██████ ██████ █ ██████ ██████████ ████████ █████ ██ ███ ████ ████ ████████ █████████████████ ██ ██ ███ ████████ ███████████ ██████ ███ ██████████████ ██████ ██ ██████████
The argument concludes that it’s impossible to satisfy a recommendation that regions with many Caronian-speakers be allowed to form an independent, Caronian-majority nation. This is because Caronian-speakers live in scattered areas that wouldn’t fit into a single continuous border without including a majority population of non-Caronian-speakers.
The argument disqualifies the idea of a Caronian-majority nation on the basis that such a nation would be impossible within a continuous border. This assumes that it’s impossible to create a Caronian-majority nation with a discontinuous border—that includes several disconnected regions.
The argument relies on which ███ ██ ███ █████████ ████████████
A nation once ███████ ██ █████ █████████████████ ██████ ███ ████████ ██ ███ ███████████
The argument doesn’t rely on a Caronian-majority nation having previously existed. In fact, this doesn’t affect the argument at all one way or another, so is not necessary.
Caronian-speakers tend to ████████ ██████████ ██ ████████████ █ ██████ ██████████
The argument’s analysis of whether it’s possible to create a Caronian-majority nation operates independently of how Caronian-speakers perceive themselves, making this not necessary.
The recommendation would ███ ██ █████████ ██ ███ ████████ ██ █ ██████ ██████ ██ ████████████ ████████
This must be assumed, because it’s the only way that the conclusion is supported by the premise that forming a continuous Caronian-majority nation would be impossible. If a disconnected nation were possible, the conclusion would be unsupported.

The argument only cares about non-Caronian-speakers to the extent that they can’t form a majority in the proposed Caronian nation. Whether or not they will be citizens is irrelevant.

The typical language situation of most nations is irrelevant to whether it’s possible to create a new Caronian-majority nation.
