[edit] info


Map redrawn and modified from a map by cartographer Roberta Bloom appearing in Mithun (1999:xviii-xix).

Additional references include Mithun (1999:xx-xxi, 606-616), Goddard (1996) (contains a very nice color map), Sturtevant (1978-present), Campbell (1997:353-376).

  • Na-Dene languages are in red.
  • Na-Dene here excludes the Haida language. The Haida affiliation is currently considered undemonstrated by most specialists.
