As we all know, Paradox team has decided to change the way cultures work with oncoming patches. In Common Sense, for example, breton culture moves from celtic to french culture group to avoid possible culture changes in Brittany in case of french conquest - yet, not everyone seems to like it. Although I understand this move, I have some - in my opinion - better solution for the problem.
It's obvious that two nations speaking similar language don't have to be very connected with eachother - for example Bohemia and Poland in EU4 timeline, where the first one was slowly getting closer to germanic culture than slavic. In the meantime, Poland and Lithuania created their own group of cultures which could be called "the Commonwealth Culture" consisting of polish, lithuanian, prussian, ruthenian, byelorussian and maybe even latvian cultures. Let's say that the mentioned culture was implemented in the game - but here we have another problem - in that case, if Germany was created in-game it wouldn't accept prussian culture as its own, neither would Russia accept Byelorussian or ruthenian cultures if it acquired provinces with that culture. What's the solution for this problem? I suggest spliting culture group into cultural and lingual groups. This way Ruthenia and Russia would be considered lingual union, uniting all the Eastern Slavs, whereas Commonwealth, as cultural union would still be able to accept Byelorussians as their own, even if they owned only 2 provinces of this culture and France could accept Breton(french culture, celtic language) if conquered.
