Description:
This map is an extract of information in The Cambridge Encyclopedia of the World's Ancient languages, showing languages spoken towards the end of the 1st Millennium BC in Anatolia and surrounding areas.
Editor's Note:
The coastline in the northern Arabian Gulf has changed dramatically since the period shown, and is far south of where it was. Thus Sumerian on a modern base-map will seem far inland, when it fact it reached to the sea.
