Some Geo-Linguistic Resources

SIL is well known for its language maps. Publicized and integrated with the Ethnologue. Here are some other projects or collections in Geo-linguistics.

Language/Linguistic GIS Projects

http://www.llmap.org was a ERSI based plotting of language regions and dialects from various linguistic maps take from the literature. These maps images were then plotted over geographical space. Currently what remains is available via GitHub.

An index of language Atlases http://www.uni-marburg.de/fb09/dsa/mitarbeiter/lameli/atlanten.pdf by Prof. Dr. Alfred Lameli

The book (and series Volume 2 Language Mapping

Using ERSI from GMI http://langscape.umd.edu My understanding is that they were violating the license from GMI and so SIL, who was the author of the GMI content, and then assumed GMI assets when the organization folded, asked that they comply with the license.
