About LanguageMap

LanguageMap is an open-source interactive map that visualizes the world's linguistic diversity. Explore thousands of languages organized by family, branch, and group — displayed on a 3D globe.

What you can do

  • Browse languages by family on an interactive globe
  • Search for any language by name, ISO code, or Glottocode
  • View classification, speaker count, and endangerment status
  • Toggle language families on and off
  • Add a new language or improve an existing one — draw its geographic area and submit it for review
  • Track our progress — see which languages still need mapping and help us complete the map

Data sources

Language data and classifications are based on Glottolog and ISO 639-3.
