This map has been uploaded by Electionworld from en.wikipedia.org to enable the

Wikimedia Atlas of the World

. Original uploader to en.wikipedia.org was Dreg743, known as Dreg743 at en.wikipedia.org. Electionworld is not the creator of this map. Licensing information is below.

My (Dreg743) modification, of a commons image, in which some of the larger language families are divided (mistakes may have happened) and sample languages of many have been set on the map, where these are spoken (mistakes are probably present). "East Siberian Languages" is not a language family. See also altaic.

~100 languages/groups are mentioned, one estimate of a total number of native speakers of these is 4,7*10⁹. Probably over 6 billion (thousand million) people can speak at least one of these.

Image should be checked and corrected. 84.231.183.53 06:10, 5 September 2006 (UTC) Kamtchatka is wrong. And how about carib ? Tamazight = Berber? Indonesian languages?? Divisions of afroasiatic family?

Should find a better colour scheme for adding colours...1024 colors instead of 256?

Other languages used in the United Kingdom are the Welsh in Wales and Scotish in Scotland and are both national languages of the United Kingdom

Celtic languages are currently poorly presented, I know, as are the divisions of w:Afroasiatic languages (none present currently).
