Map Description:
This map depicts the indigenous languages spoken on the Indonesian islands. The Indonesian islands are comprised of: Java and Bali, Sumatra, Sulawesi, The Moluccasa, Lesser Sunda Islands and Timor. While politically the western half of the Island of Papua New Guinea is aligned with Indonesia, many of the languages in that region are a part of the East Papuan or West Papuan language families, and are included on the South Pacific: Papua New Guinea map. All of these islands, combined with Papua New Guinea and The Philippines comprise the Indo-Australian Archipelago, also called the Malay-Archipelago (wikipedia).
This original map was made by vectorizing data from the MultiTree language database and the Atlas of the World's Languages.
