| Title | On-line language maps of the Americas (and elsewhere) |
| Body | From SSILA (delancey@darkwing.uoregon.edu) The website of the TITUS Project ("Thesaurus Indogermanischer Text- und Sprachmaterialien") -- a European collaborative effort spearheaded by the Institute of Comparative Linguistics at University of Frankfurt -- is primarily devoted to providing access to a broad spectrum of research materials on Indo-European. The site also has some teaching materials available, and among these is a set of detailed on-line language maps. These range far beyond Indo-European. Good maps of the Turkic family, of Siberian languages, and of the languages of China are included, and coverage has recently been extended to the Americas. There are three basic maps -- North, Central, and South America -- but each expands into more detailed areal maps by clicking. They can be accessed at: North America: http://titus.uni-frankfurt.de/didact/karten/amer/namerim.htm Mexico and Central America: http://titus.uni-frankfurt.de/didact/karten/amer/mamerim.htm South America: http://titus.uni-frankfurt.de/didact/karten/amer/samerim.htm (Jost Gippert, of the TITUS Project, deserves a hearty round of applause for designing and uploading these accurate and useful tools.)
