Map Description:
The polygons represent areas where Na-Dene languages were spoken when they were first encountered and knowledge of them was recorded.
This original map was made by vectorizing data from the MultiTree language database and the Atlas of the World's Languages.

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 |
