Appendix A: Language list and data sources This file is identical to appendix A in the book, without footnotes. This appendix lists the languages that appear in this book, along with the sources of data for each language. It also lists the ISO 639-3 code, Glottocode (Hammarström et al. 2023), and geographical coordinates for each language. For languages in our target region, this list is comprehensive (based on current knowledge), though it does not systematically list every variety of each language where these are known to be dialects in the linguistic sense. For a small number of languages in our target region, no data is presented in this book – usually because no data is available. These languages are listed, but no source is given. In addition to being a (near comprehensive) list of languages in our target region, this appendix also lists languages outside our target region for which data is used in this book, even if it is only a data point in one of the many maps.
