5.0 out of 5 stars The Best Map of the Native Languages of North America, April 28, 2004

This review is from: Native Languages and Language Families of North America (Map)

This is a wall-sized version of the map accompanying volume 17 "Languageš of the Handbook of North American Indians, the multivolume series produced by the Smithsonian Institution. It is by far the most detailed, accurate, and comprehensive map available of the location of distribution of the many native languages of North America. Most maps of North America as a whole show only major languages or even just language families. The more detailed maps cover only particular regions. I just wish this map could be purchased laminated.
