April 25th, 2006 by RichKiran Jonnalagadda sent out an email about ’super high resolution maps of language
distribution around the world.’
The maps are very cool-check it out! The India PDF map is 30/16.5 MB (site
says 30, download manager 16.5). They’re designed to be printed 36″
or wider. Data table and ArcGIS files also available.

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 GMI’s World Language Mapping System and Seamless Digital Chart of the World geographic datas sets.. PDF versions of the maps available for download, as are Dr. Huffman’s data and ArcGIS project files.
