Project Description:
These maps are based on a sociolinguistic survey of the Sam people conducted by the Summer Institute of Linguistics in February of 2001. The two maps selected show the language and dialect boundaries in the Rai Coast of Madang Province of Papua New Guinea where the Sam people reside, as well as common travel routes used in the region. This information is part of a larger body of research which examines the relevant cultural, demographic, and geographic aspects while investigating the vitality of the Sam language.
