Description:
This map is an attempt to collect in one place all information available on the geographic location of the ancient languages of the Balkans. Since no one map included all the regions shown here, the map is an amalgamation of material from a number of different sources. Since no hard data is available, the location of the languages must be seen as approximate.

Later Dispersal of Afroasiatic (Blench)
The Later Dispersal of Afroasiatic
Map Creator: Roger Blench
Source: Archeology, Language, and the African Past. 2006. Lanham: AltaMira Press. p. 160.
Date Created: 2006 (Blench)
Map Description:
This map illustrates the later locations and migrations of several African language groups, including the Semitic, Bantu, Nilotic, Berber, Afroasiatic and Chadic speakers, as discussed by Roger Blench. Combined with his map entitled "The Early Dispersal of Afroasiatic", it presents a model which explains the distribution of Afroasiatic languages prior to the Arabic expansion beginning in the seventh century. Two of the languages indicated, Guanche and Elamitic, are extinct; Blench notes that the arrow marking the latter's progress is very uncertain.

Description:
This map is an extract of information in The Cambridge Encyclopedia of the World's Ancient languages, showing languages spoken towards the end of the 1st Millennium BC in Anatolia and surrounding areas.
Editor's Note:
The coastline in the northern Arabian Gulf has changed dramatically since the period shown, and is far south of where it was. Thus Sumerian on a modern base-map will seem far inland, when it fact it reached to the sea.
