Indigenymy Languages – Indigenous Languages of Canada Map

Indigenymy – Languages of Canada

A Canada-wide view of Indigenous languages as mapped territorial extents — not point toponyms. Broader geographic scope than the BC-focused Names map: you'll see language regions across the country, coloured by language and grouped by family where the underlying map supports it.

What you're looking at: Language territories, not place names. This is the context layer — the "where" behind the "what" on the Names, Means, and Satellite views.

Scope: Canada-wide, spanning Salishan, Wakashan, Athabaskan, Algonquian, Iroquoian, Siouan, Inuit-Yupik, and isolate families (coverage depends on the underlying Felt map).

Cross-reference: Each language on this map has a Glottolog identifier; follow the link in any toponym popup on the Names view to reach the corresponding Glottolog record.
