What is the language of a map?
Answers
Maps showing the locations of language homelands are available for most countries of the world. Mapped language areas show the first-language (L1) distribution of speakers of languages, unless explicitly stated on the map. The few second-language (L2) distributions we show are all in separate insets, distinct from the main map. Where the data are available, we typically use the convention of showing a language in an area if at least 25% of the population in that area speak the language fluently as an L1. However, a minority language will be shown on a map even if the speakers do not comprise more than 25% of the population in any given area. In other cases, the language locations have been plotted after research by language surveyors or by other linguists. We do not map the locations of immigrant language populations until the language groups are recognised as established in the country and thus receive a full etnry in the Ethnologue.
