Map Description:
The polygons and points represent concentrations of first-language speakers of Plateau languages. Polygons represent land or areas primarily occupied by first-language speakers whereas points show communities with varying numbers of speakers.
This original map was made by vectorizing data from the MultiTree language database and the Atlas of the World's Languages.
Other resources related to this project:
This folder (Northern North America: Contemporary) contains other maps showing contemporary linguistic subgroups. The maps may be overlaid on each other for a more complete picture. The southern distribution of Plateau languages (originally shown in a different map in Asher & Moseley) has been included here for completeness.
