Our language maps show the geographic distribution of language families. They can also help you place some minor languages you hadn't heard of until you saw their names in our dictionary collection. Some maps are very simple, like the maps of India or Africa. Their goal is just to provide basic information. Some are more complex, like our maps of Russia or North America. Some of the maps are historical maps, like the maps of Indian Languages in North America, and some others are a bit dated (in which case you can see the date in the legend).
