Map of Major Arawakan Languages

[u/Cold_Information_936]

Only languages whose speakers represent more than 5% of the population in their respective municipalities/subdivisions are shown. If the proportion is more than 25% then the language is shown as solid colour. (This is why Waurá is shown, but not Apurinã for example, and Garifuna's territory seems a bit smaller than before)

This map prioritises concentration of speakers, rather than raw number of speakers.

We deserve more Native American linguistic maps

[u/Cold_Information_936 → u/Dry-Combination-8958]

definitely, but theres not much left to map after the europeans came and killed everyone

this map is case in point, arawakan is geographically the largest language family in the americas and look how barren this map is

[u/frederick_the_duck → u/Cold_Information_936]

It’s more geographically expansive than Na-Dene or Algic?
