Project Description:
Dr. Huffman has classified the languages of the Ethnologue into broader groupings following Merritt Ruhlen's A Guide to the World's Languages (published 1987, 1991 by Stanford University Press), and has produced as series of maps of language phyla and families using this classified data and several versions of GMI's World Language Mapping System and Seamless Digital Chart of the World geographic data sets.
For additional discussion of both language classification and the initial mapping process, see Dr. Huffman's paper describing this work: Mapping The Genetic Relationships of the World's Languages (pdf).

Map Description:
This maps illustrates the locations of various language areas and ethnic groups prominent in Siberia during the 17th Century. According to Stephen A. Wurm, much of the changes in the ethnic and linguistic situation is a result of the expansion of these indigenous groups, notably the Yakuts, the Paleoasiatic Chukchis and to a lesser degree the Evens (Lamuts). It is important to note that the Even ethnic group, believed to be numbered at 7,000 in the middle of the 17th century, dropped to 4,000 people by the end of that same century due to small pox epidemics.

Map Description:
Illustrated here are the Native American tribes of Alaska and the Aleutian Islands along with their linguistic stocks, as hypothesized by Sturtevant. He notes that tribal distributions depicted are sometimes arbitrary, as the information used to determine them was gathered over a large span of time. He also states that the cultural areas which indicate "minor" tribes that share cultural traits are vaguely classified at times, and that the distribution of many cultural traits does not coincide (Sturtevant).

This map illustrates the Interethnic contact and languages spoken in the Bering Strait and Alaska area. Currently, 15 % of Alaska is Native, 36,000 people of which are Eskimo. It is important to note that the majority of Natives speak English at least as a second language. Hein van der Voort says that there are many instances where Eskimos created grammatically reduced versions of the languages in order to communicate with monolingual speakers of other languages. Some even developed into pidgins that served as a lingua franca. There is only limited information on such languages.

Project Description:
Researcher Richard Caulfield, at the time of the Alaska Department of Fish and Game, recorded speakers of Gwich'in Athabaskan naming different features of the geography around their home villages. Because the speakers are from relatively close villages and speak the same dialect, we see overlap in placename use. Consultants include Isaac Tritt, James and Maggie Gilbert, Trimble Gilbert, Kias Peter, and Lincoln Tritt (Arctic Village, 226 place names); Hamel Frank, Dan Frank, Sarah Frank, Abraham Christian, Maggie Roberts (Venetie, 209 place names); Samson Peter Sr., Elliot Johnson Sr., Abel Tritt, and Simon Peter (Ft. Yukon, 80 place names); David and Sarah Salmon, Simon and Bella Francis, Sam and Lilly Herbert, and Steven Henry (Chalkytsik, 235 place names, some transcribed by Minnie Salmon); and David James, Neil James, and Winston James (Birch Creek, 52 place names).

Map Description:
The most frequently used climate classification map is that ofWladimir Köppen, presented in its latest version 1961 by Rudolf Geiger. A huge number of climate studies and subsequent publications adopted this or a former release of the Köppen-Geiger map. While the climate classification concept has been widely applied to a broad range of topics in climate and climate change research as well as in physical geography, hydrology, agriculture, biology and educational aspects, a well-documented update of the world climate classification map is still missing. Based on recent data sets from the Climatic Research Unit (CRU) of the University of East Anglia and the Global Precipitation Climatology Centre (GPCC) at the German Weather Service, we present here a new digital Köppen-Geiger world map on climate classification, valid for the second half of the 20th century.

Project Description:
The Austronesian Team has released the ©ECAI Digital Language Atlas of the Pacific. The atlas includes the Pacific area, Southeast Asia (apart from Burma), and Madagascar.
Across the Pacific and Indian oceans, the Austronesian speaking people have voyaged for centuries making a network of communication within a linguistic family that became the most extensive in the world prior to European arrival. The cultures were launched from the Western Pacific and the early Austronesian speakers reached islands of further distance apart traveling in lashed and pegged canoes across vast expanses of ocean.
The Electronic Cultural Atlas Initiative (ECAI) over the past few years has developed as a group interested in the academic research and international collaboration. The Austronesian projects were proposed by the founder and chairman of ECAI, Lewis Lancaster, at a meeting entitled Austronesian Studies in Taiwan--Retrospective and Prospect (UC Berkeley sponsored with the Shung Ye Museum in 1997). Since then collaborative teams have taken up the idea by researching the possibilities of cultural mapping using a geographic information system (GIS) to integrate the heritage of a place.
This project is a model for future language mapping because it combines the generation of a digital version of older printed language maps with the collection of data on contemporary languages areas, and then the use of dynamic (time-enabled) map display techniques capable of showing visually the changes in language boundaries. The work will also give us an opportunity to advance our work on the design and use of gazetteers of language areas. A conventional gazetteer of Austronesian place-names would be supplemented (or complemented) by a directory of languages and dialects with the formal geographical specifications of where they are (or were) spoken at different times. These data would be coupled with map displays such that any combination of data from the gazetteer could be displayed at will. There are plans for a peer-reviewed digital publication in collaboration with the California Digital Library administered by the Office of the President of the University of California.

Reflexes of Proto-Athabascan Consonants
Reflexes of Proto-Athabaskan Features in Modern Athabaskan Languages
Contact: Dr. Gary HoltonOrganization:
Voice Phone: +1-907-474-6585

Website:Home Page of Dr. Gary Holton
Email: gary.holton@uaf.edu
This work represents the culmination of decades worth of fieldwork by various individuals as well as Dr. Holton's personal fieldwork. The tree-model of language relationships in Athabaskan linguistics can run into difficulties, and so this map shows the ways that the features of Proto-Athabaskan are realized in the various Athabaskan languages.
What follows is an explanation of the data we have up for display:
Reflexes of proto-Athabaskan stem-intial obstruent series.
- A series refers to a set of unaspirated, aspirated, and ejective stops/affricates at the same place of articulation. This set changes as unit historically. Thus, e.g., the series *ts refers to *ts, *tsh, and *ts'
- *ts --> ts tth tl kw t? f p
- *ch --> ts ch s
- *chw --> ts ch tr pf s
- *k --> k ch ch-k tsy sh
- *q --> q k
- Tone refers to whether the language has tone developed from Proto-Athabaskan (PA) constricted syllables
- tone = absent, vestigial, present, complex
- Tone Value refers to the pitch which is realized from PA constricted syllables
- tone value =none, low, high
- -C' zone refers to the degree of reduction of PA stem-final glottalized consonants
- Zones are marked as 0-4 from least to most reduced
- -CC refers to the preservation of original suffixes in coda clusters
- -CC is either yes or no, with yes meaning that (some) suffixes are preserved
