Atlas 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. Electionword 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 languages.

~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) How about Spanish speaking peoples in US? Kamtchatka is wrong. And how about carib ? Tamazight - Berber ? Nepali -> Indo-Aryan, not Tibetan. Mayan & Quiche are too north. Aymara should be moved northwest. Indonesian languages??
