Map Description:
The areas pictured display locations where the Lenkan subgroup languages were spoken when European explorers first encountered them. As specified by Asher and Moseley, the time of contact varied for each language; most of the coastal languages were first identified during the 16th and 17th centuries, although some languages in the interior of South America became known much later, during the 20th century (Asher, Moseley et al).

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

Map Description:
The areas pictured display locations of where Lenkan languages are spoken today. Most of these languages are extinct; only Serkin is still a living language, and its speaker population is very low (Asher, Moseley et al.).
