This maps illustrates the locations of various language areas and ethnic groups prominent in Siberia during the 17th Century. According to Stephen A. Wurm, much of the changes in the ethnic and linguistic situation is a result of the expansion of these indigenous groups, notably the Yakuts, the Paleoasiatic Chukchis and to a lesser degree the Evens (Lamuts). It is important to note that the Even ethnic group, believed to be numbered at 7,000 in the middle of the 17th century, dropped to 4,000 people by the end of that same century due to small pox epidemics.

Illustrated here are the Native American tribes of Alaska and the Aleutian Islands along with their linguistic stocks, as hypothesized by Sturtevant. He notes that tribal distributions depicted are sometimes arbitrary, as the information used to determine them was gathered over a large span of time. He also states that the cultural areas which indicate "minor" tribes that share cultural traits are vaguely classified at times, and that the distribution of many cultural traits does not coincide (Sturtevant).

This map illustrates interethnic contact in the Bering Strait and Alaska area and the languages spoken there. Fifteen percent of Alaska is Native, of which 36,000 are of Eskimo descent. The majority of Alaska Natives speak English. According to van der Voort, there are many instances where Eskimos created grammatically reduced versions of their languages in order to communicate with monolingual speakers of other languages, and some developed into pidgins that served as a lingua franca. There is only limited information on such languages.

Project Description:
Researcher Richard Caulfield, at the time of the Alaska Department of Fish and Game, recorded speakers of Gwich'in Athabaskan naming different features of the geography around their home villages. Because the speakers are from relatively close villages and speak the same dialect, we see overlap in placename use. Consultants include Isaac Tritt, James and Maggie Gilbert, Trimble Gilbert, Kias Peter, and Lincoln Tritt (Arctic Village, 226 place names); Hamel Frank, Dan Frank, Sarah Frank, Abraham Christian, Maggie Roberts (Venetie, 209 place names); Samson Peter Sr., Elliot Johnson Sr., Abel Tritt, and Simon Peter (Ft. Yukon, 80 place names); David and Sarah Salmon, Simon and Bella Francis, Sam and Lilly Herbert, and Steven Henry (Chalkytsik, 235 place names, some transcribed by Minnie Salmon); and David James, Neil James, and Winston James (Birch Creek, 52 place names). This map shows the exonym of the various placenames used by inhabitants of Arctic Village, Birch Creek, Chalkytsik and Venetie. To view the toponyms and their glosses, simply check the layer boxes on the left column while also checking off the exonym boxes to be able to view the data fully. Also, you can right-click on each point and select 'About this Location' to view the exonym, toponym and gloss for that point.

Because the speakers are from relatively close villages and speak the same dialect, we see overlap in placename use. Consultants include Isaac Tritt, James and Maggie Gilbert, Trimble Gilbert, Kias Peter, and Lincoln Tritt (Arctic Village, 226 place names); Hamel Frank, Dan Frank, Sarah Frank, Abraham Christian, Maggie Roberts (Venetie, 209 place names); Samson Peter Sr., Elliot Johnson Sr., Abel Tritt, and Simon Peter (Ft. Yukon, 80 place names); David and Sarah Salmon, Simon and Bella Francis, Sam and Lilly Herbert, and Steven Henry (Chalkytsik, 235 place names, some transcribed by Minnie Salmon); and David James, Neil James, and Winston James (Birch Creek, 52 place names).

Map Description:
The most frequently used climate classification map is that ofWladimir Köppen, presented in its latest version 1961 by Rudolf Geiger. A huge number of climate studies and subsequent publications adopted this or a former release of the Köppen-Geiger map. While the climate classification concept has been widely applied to a broad range of topics in climate and climate change research as well as in physical geography, hydrology, agriculture, biology and educational aspects, a well-documented update of the world climate classification map is still missing. Based on recent data sets from the Climatic Research Unit (CRU) of the University of East Anglia and the Global Precipitation Climatology Centre (GPCC) at the German Weather Service, we present here a new digital Köppen-Geiger world map on climate classification, valid for the second half of the 20th century.

Project Description:
Native English speakers from Southeastern Michigan were asked a simple question- "Where are the most (and least) 'correct' and 'pleasant' varieties [of American English] spoken?" Participants rated each of the 50 states, as well as the District of Columbia and New York City, from 1 to 10. Each region was then assigned a numerical range which reflects its average score, with higher numbers being more 'correct' or 'pleasant,' and lower scores indicating 'incorrect' or 'unpleasant.'
The study states that when a speaker rates his or her own region as being more correct, the respondent is showing what is known as "Linguistic Confidence." Comparing the maps demonstrates that regions with low Linguistic Confidence rate their specific region as more pleasant, while areas with high Linguistic Confidence rate multiple other regions as pleasant as their own.

Flanders, Stephen A. 1998. Atlas of American Migration. New York: Facts On File, Inc.
Date Digitized: 07-2010
Map Description:
This map depicts the Native American Culture Areas in North America and is divided into ten regions spanning from Mexico in the south into Northern Canada in the north. Tribes in a given geographic area shared a broad range of cultural traits. Anthropologists consequently divided Native Americans into geographically defined areas. This classification provides a framework for understanding the movements and settlement patterns of the diverse Native American Tribes throughout the Formative Period. These cultural areas are not exact, as they were no fixed boundaries between regions. Often there were considerable cultural similarities among different arreas, or significant differences between tribes in the same area. Anthropologists have devised various schemes for determining cultural areas. The ten culture areas represent the most commonly used system (Flanders, 1998:13).

Based on anthropologists’ traditional division of North American Indian culture areas and the most conservative classification of American Indian languages, there are four large culture areas with three major language families in northern North America. The Arctic, a single culture area, is dominated by Eskimo-Aleut language speakers. The Western Subarctic is the area of Na-Dene languages, while the Eastern Subarctic culture speaks Algonquian-Ritwan languages. Northwest Coast includes the culture area with Na-Dene and smaller language families. However, it is noteworthy that the Salishan language is not discussed as a major family.

This map shows the locations of some of the first peoples of western Canada along the Pacific Coast of Canada - languages which cross the border into Alaska indicate only their Canadian extent. For instance, Tlingit is spoken all the way down to the coast, but this is not shown on the map. These peoples arrived in the area around 10,000 years ago and formed several distinct groups with many unique languages; some estimate that there were nineteen languages or more present in the region, distributed across seventy or more nations. This map indicates language subgroupings.

Reflexes of Proto-Athabaskan Features in Modern Athabaskan Languages (Gary Holton)
Reflexes of Proto-Athabaskan Features in Modern Athabaskan Languages
Contact: Dr. Gary HoltonOrganization: Alaska Native Language Center
Voice Phone: +1-907-474-6585
Fax Phone: +1-907-474-6586
Website: Home Page of Dr. Gary Holton
Email: gary.holton@uaf.edu
This work represents the culmination of decades worth of fieldwork by various individuals as well as Dr. Holton's personal fieldwork. The tree-model of language relationships in Athabaskan linguistics can run into difficulties, and so this map shows the ways that the features of Proto-Athabaskan are realized in the various Athabaskan languages.
What follows is an explanation of the data we have up for display:
Reflexes of proto-Athabaskan stem-intial obstruent series.
- A series refers to a set of unaspirated, aspirated, and ejective stops/affricates at the same place of articulation. This set changes as unit historically. Thus, e.g., the series *ts refers to *ts, *tsh, and *ts'
- *ts --> ts tth tl kw t? f p
- *ch --> ts ch s
- *chw --> ts ch tr pf s
- *k --> k ch ch-k tsy sh
- *q --> q k
- Tone refers to whether the language has tone developed from Proto-Athabaskan (PA) constricted syllables
- tone = absent, vestigial, present, complex
- Tone Value refers to the pitch which is realized from PA constricted syllables
- tone value =none, low, high
- -C' zone refers to the degree of reduction of PA stem-final glottalized consonants
- Zones are marked as 0-4 from least to most reduced
- -CC refers to the preservation of original suffixes in coda clusters
- -CC is either yes or no, with yes meaning that (some) suffixes are preserved

"Two great language families dominate the territory of the Soviet Union. The larger is the Slavonic, comprising the closely related Russian, Ukrainian and Belorussian. Native speakers of Russian extend from the Gulf of Finland to the Pacific; nevertheless they are now less than half the total population. The other family is the Turkic, most of whose recognized languages and dialects are intercomprehensible: it extends from the Azerbayjan to Yakutia. Other non-Indo-European language families include the Finnic to the north and the Caucasian group to the south."

This map shows the distribution of Saami dialects spoken in Sweden.
Although the Saami people are only about 18,000 in number, they have four dialects. Finnish used to be spoken in a far larger area than today - mainly as a result of colonisation from Savolaks in the 16th and 17th centuries. (Selinge et al 1994)

Project Description:
Dr. Huffman has classified the languages of the Ethnologue into broader groupings following Merritt Ruhlen's A Guide to the World's Languages (published 1987, 1991 by Stanford University Press), and has produced as series of maps of language phyla and families using this classified data and several versions of GMI's World Language Mapping System and Seamless Digital Chart of the World geographic data sets.
For additional discussion of both language classification and the initial mapping process, see Dr. Huffman's paper describing this work: Mapping The Genetic Relationships of the World's Languages (pdf).

Project Description:
The Austronesian Team has released the ©ECAI Digital Language Atlas of the Pacific. The atlas includes the Pacific area, Southeast Asia (apart from Burma), and Madagascar.
Across the Pacific and Indian oceans, the Austronesian speaking people have voyaged for centuries making a network of communication within a linguistic family that became the most extensive in the world prior to European arrival. The cultures were launched from the Western Pacific and the early Austronesian speakers reached islands of further distance apart traveling in lashed and pegged canoes across vast expanses of ocean.
The Electronic Cultural Atlas Initiative (ECAI) over the past few years has developed as a group interested in the academic research and international collaboration. The Austronesian projects were proposed by the founder and chairman of ECAI, Lewis Lancaster, at a meeting entitled Austronesian Studies in Taiwan--Retrospective and Prospect (UC Berkeley sponsored with the Shung Ye Museum in 1997). Since then collaborative teams have taken up the idea by researching the possibilities of cultural mapping using a geographic information system (GIS) to integrate the heritage of a place.
This project is a model for future language mapping because it combines the generation of a digital version of older printed language maps with the collection of data on contemporary languages areas, and then the use of dynamic (time-enabled) map display techniques capable of showing visually the changes in language boundaries. The work will also give us an opportunity to advance our work on the design and use of gazetteers of language areas. A conventional gazetteer of Austronesian place-names would be supplemented (or complemented) by a directory of languages and dialects with the formal geographical specifications of where they are (or were) spoken at different times. These data would be coupled with map displays such that any combination of data from the gazetteer could be displayed at will. There are plans for a peer-reviewed digital publication in collaboration with the California Digital Library administered by the Office of the President of the University of California.
