Map Description:
The areas pictured display locations of where Hokan subgroup languages are spoken today. Only two groups use these languages in Meso-America, with the Tol family population being estimated at 350 people and the Chontal group estimated at 4,500. Despite the size of these groups, the language is projected to have had more than 2,000 years of time depth (Asher, Moseley et al.).
This original map was made by vectorizing data from the MultiTree language database and the Altas of the World's Languages.

Map Description:
The areas pictured display locations of where Hokan subgroup languages were spoken when they were first encountered and knowledge of them was recorded. As specified by Asher and Moseley, 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 more recently during the 20th century (Asher, Moseley et al.).
