Map Description:
This map shows the areas where indigenous languages were spoken in The Philippines. Most of the languages belong to the Malayo-Polynesian subgroup of the Austronesian language family, however Chavacano, a Spanish based creole language and also Tausug, a lingua franca are also represented. Tausug is found in the southern islands, where trade and contact amongst other Austronesian language speaking indigenous peoples was common.
This original map was made by vectorizing data from the MultiTree language database and the Atlas of the World's Languages.
