Isolates in South America at the Time of Contact
Isolates in South America at the Time of Contact

Date Digitized: July 2010
Map Description:
The areas pictured display locations of where Isolate languages were spoken when they were first encountered and knowledge of them was recorded. As specified in 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 more recently during the 20th century (Kaufman 2007).

Map Description:
UNESCO’s Atlas of the World’s Languages in Danger is a database intended to raise awareness about language endangerment and the need to safeguard the world’s linguistic diversity among policy-makers, speaker communities and the general public, and to be a tool to monitor the status of endangered languages and the trends in linguistic diversity at the global level.
Degrees of endangerment
The map designates the degrees of endangerment as based on UNESCO’s Language Vitality and Endangerment framework.
This establishes six degrees of vitality/endangerment based on nine factors. Of these factors, the most salient is that of intergenerational transmission.

| Degree of endangerment | Intergenerational Language Transmission | safe | language is spoken by all generations; intergenerational transmission is uninterrupted >> not included in the map |
|---|---|
| vulnerable | most children speak the language, but it may be restricted to certain domains (e.g., home) |
| definitely endangered | children no longer learn the language as mother tongue in the home |
| severely endangered | language is spoken by grandparents and older generations; while the parent generation may understand it, they do not speak it to children or among themselves |
| critically endangered | the youngest speakers are grandparents and older, and they speak the language partially and infrequently |
| extinct | there are no speakers left >> included in the Atlas if presumably extinct since the 1950s |
