Map Description:
The areas pictured display locations of where Berber languages are spoken today. Berber speaking areas have been diminished by the expansion of Arabic-speaking groups over time and are now mostly found along the west and north coasts of Africa, with a few exceptions, the most notable being the Touareg (Irvine and Appleyard 2007).
This original map was made by vectorizing data from the MultiTree language database and the Atlas of the World's Languages.
