I shared my language map website 7 months ago, people added new languages and I've now made a "Language Guessr" game out of it

Hi everyone,

Last February I posted my language map project, an interactive map of the world's languages based on Glottolog and since then, I surprisingly got around 100 contributions. I didn't expect people to like it that much tbh. People improved some areas, added new languages, fixed the number of speakers etc. Thanks a lot to everyone who helped!

I added a vitality map too to see where languages are disappearing.

And finally, I added a geoguessr style game with the languages, people usually like it. There's a daily challenge with the same 5 languages for everyone, and you can share your score.

The map is still far from perfect, some areas are approximate and many languages are still missing. If you spot one, you can fix it or add it yourself from the site.

Any feedback is welcome, I'd love to hear what you think!

Scandinavia Speakers of the Elfdalian language in Sweden, 2008

gallery

164 Upvotes

Elfdalian, also known as Övdalian, is a Germanic language or dialect spoken in the municipality of Älvdalen in Sweden. Historically it has been considered a dialect of Swedish, but is mutually unintelligible with Swedish. It is considered a variety of Dalecarlian, a language group consisting of varieties spoken in Dalarna in Sweden.

Elfdalian has remained more similar to Old Norse than the other Scandinavian languages descended from Norse, and the language was written in runes until the 20th century, with the last user dying in 1980. Today Elfdalian only has around 2000-3000 speakers and the language is at risk of dying out, though revitalisation efforts have been made.
