Map Description:
The Kalenjin people are Southern Nilotes who mainly reside in western Kenya, though their settlements also extend into Uganda just north of Mount Elgon. This map shows their distribution. While Kony, Pok, Bongomek, and Sabiny live around Mount Elgon, Nandi, Kipsigis, Terik, Keyo, Tuken, and Marakwet live in the highlands south and southeast of Mount Elgon. The Kalenjin people are mostly herders and cultivators and number about a million.

Map Description:
This map depicts areas where indigenous languages are spoken on the island of Borneo. The island of Borneo is made up of 3 countries: Malaysia (the northern portion), Indonesia (the southern portion) and Brunei (2 areas along the northwestern coast). Languages from many subgroups of the Austronesian languages families are represented, including Malayo-Polynesian, North Borneo and Sulawesi. In addition, Malagasy, the family of languages spoken on Madagascar is believed to have spread from the languages spoke in Southern Borneo.

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