My current projects focus on the mapping of Iran’s languages. Language maps that have been produced elsewhere for Iran are either limited in geographic scope, or they rely on general impressions of where languages are spoken, without reference to specific locations or language data. In light of this, I am using the Nunaliit Atlas Framework to couple geographic and demographic information with equivalent sets of actual language forms (pronunciation, grammar, and words) originating from all districts in the country. A working classification of all of Iran’s languages and dialects as well as language data questionnaires are available on the project website, and detailed language maps are currently being assembled for Hormozgan Province of south-west Iran.
