Description:
This map is an attempt to collect in one place all information available on the geographic location of the dialects of Classical Greek. It includes only areas where colonization was extensive, and does not show many smaller settlements. Since no one map included all the regions shown here, the map is an amalgamation of material from a number of different source, of which the The Cambridge Encyclopedia of the World's Ancient languages is primary.

Description:
This map shows the Italic languages before the expansion of Latin.
Editor's Note:
The map follows the referenced source fairly closely, but in those areas where language areas extends into other countries, these are completed as best they can be, though the boundaries of long-extinct languages are always speculative. For example, Ligurian was spoken around the area of Marseilles (Massalia), as is mentioned in the description of the Greek colonization of the area. Ligurian is thus shown extending to include this area. In the south, the original map shows "Aeolic" settlement. This must be an error, for no Aeolic settlement was made in southern Italy. The map here thus shows Achaean in its place.
