I started sweeping the web a few years ago in the quest for language maps. Back then, I thought that this was the way to do language geography; I also thought there were a tons of maps lying around and my job was to just collect them in one place. As it turned out, I was completely misguided, rather quite uninformed. Östen Dahl introduced me to Geographical Information Systems (GIS) and also to a new approach to language mapping (read more about it under our language map server). I will keep maintaining the links to various image-based maps below for some time to come but generally, it is safe to say that they will soon be as good as obsolete. My time and efforts these days go mostly to the development of our language map server.
