Map Description:
The areas pictured display locations of where Yuta-Nawan languages are spoken today. Although languages of the Northern branch are not featured on this map, they form a vital part of this language stock. Speaker populations for each language vary widely; for example, the largest subgroup, Nawa (or Nahuatl), has a combined population of over 1.5 million, while the Koran subgroup population is estimated at 35,000 for both Kora and Wichol (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 Yuta-Nawan 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.).
