Map Description:
The areas pictured display locations of where Shinkan Complex subgroup languages were spoken when European explorers first encountered them. As specified by Kaufman and Koerner (2007), 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 This map was made by vectorizing data from the MultiTree language database and the Altas of the World's Languages.
