How many language families of Altera can you identify? (Patreon)

Over the winter break, I was busy testing out my coding method for my Wiki-style maps. I finally was able to figure it out and produced this language family map for Altera! 

This map (view full size here) is based on the primary language used by a state. There are over 200 represented here (hence the colour theory nightmare). I should note that in our world, only about a dozen language families can be represented on the political world map. 

I also revamped the website to better organize the information I want to share there. Check out https://www.atlasaltera.com/language-families for a full legend of the language families on this map. I was inspired by the Periodic Table for the aesthetics. 

For those interested in taking a closer look, all the linguistic data for Altera has already been released on Patreon (Armchair Academic tier and above) through the GaiaPolyglotta spreadsheet. I have updated the GoogleDrive link with an new version for those who already downloaded the spreadsheet. Please refer to previous posts for the download link.

We're currently working on a fully interactive version for a better way of exploring the content here, though the long term goal is to port the whole project to GIS and a full database. 

On a more personal note, I've been itching to share this as I worked to fix all the glitches over the winter break. I have not been able to fully imagine what the language spread of the world I created until now, when I generated this map with my data set. So although this map doesn't look like much, it's a bit of a personal milestone!

PS: yes, there are new additions/countries on this map from the update that I am releasing later in January. Consider this a sneak peak / first look.
