An Interactive Map of Languages

Langscape - http://langscape.umd.edu/map.php - could be a good resource for learners to consult when researching the history and culture of a place or region in the world.

Langscape is...

• basically an interactive map created at the Maryland Language Science Centre.

• an interactive map displaying more than 6,000 markers representing more than 6,000 languages.Each marker represents the native language of that particular location.

 Users can Zoom-in and click on a marker to learn more about the language.

Once clicked, they will be able to find more information about that marker through links to pages on...

1. Ethnologue,
2. Language Archives, and
3. Wikipedia.

These pages will provide information about whether or not the language is extinct and/or its origins.

Learners may be able to use the information available through Langscape to learn how the native language in an area contributed to the dialect and or accents present in that area today.

If you give " Langscape " a try or have already used " Langscape ", do share your feedback, positive and/or negative, in the comments.
