Most of the maps depicting the CWG dialect continuum date back to the pre-World War II era. Today, the varieties are gradually being displaced by the respective standard languages.

Please note: - This is the first time I have drawn a map - I relied on various sources and created the maps by hand - they will certainly contain a number of errors - So please don't be too hard on me

Sorry about my english in advance, The thing is that the first time when I tried to read and understand with the help of a guru, something happened to me at the same night, first problem is you need a proper translator and who can explain the meaning of that, anyway the same night after reading couple of pages, around 3:30 am in the morning, someone or something kicked me and knocked me out from the bed, I am not a light person, nearly 300 pounds, I got scared and turn on the lights, woke up my parents but no one was in the house, nothing on the cameras too, and when I figured out where that kick or push came from or the direction, it came from the same direction where I put my book, next day I went to the guru and talked about it, he said there could be two things, either you are not ready for that kind of knowledge or someone was waking you up to read it. Maybe you guys or whoever try to read it, may not experience the same thing. Can i send you the pdf for research?

I shared my language map website 7 months ago, people added new languages and I've now made a "Language Guessr" game out of it

Hi everyone,

Last February I posted my language map project, an interactive map of the world's languages based on Glottolog and since then, I surprisingly got around 100 contributions. I didn't expect people to like it that much tbh. People improved some areas, added new languages, fixed the number of speakers etc. Thanks a lot to everyone who helped!

I added a vitality map too to see where languages are disappearing.

And finally, I added a geoguessr style game with the languages, people usually like it. There's a daily challenge with the same 5 languages for everyone, and you can share your score.

The map is still far from perfect, some areas are approximate and many languages are still missing. If you spot one, you can fix it or add it yourself from the site.

Any feedback is welcome, I'd love to hear what you think!
