Map Description:
The areas pictured on this map display locations where languages from the Eastern Arabic subgroup of Afro-Asiatic are spoken today on the Arabian peninsula and fertile crescent, providing information regarding individual languages and dialects. This includes language communities, many of which are located around the prominent cities in the area.

This subgroup includes the largest number of languages spoken in this area and can be divided into smaller groups as displayed on this map.

This original map was made by vectorizing data from the MultiTree language database and the Atlas of the World's Languages.
