Language data and maps

| Russian Academy of Sciences

The maps and data in this chapter give an overall picture of the demographics and social status of the languages discussed in the present volume. In the 1st table, each language mentioned in the book is provided with basic genealogical, sociolinguistic and demographic data. The more complicated cases are detailed in the followed sections. Three maps show the distribution of the same languages and their ranking according to the following parameters: (1) number of speakers; (2) genealogical classification; (3) levels of endangerment and official status.

Keywords: language maps, taxonomy, classification, sociolinguistics, demography, language vs. dialect
