Created by the Maryland Language Science Center, Langscape is a resource designed to help students and members of the general public explore the geographic prevalence of a number of different languages around the world. The interactive map allows visitors to explore what languages are most predominantly spoken in different regions around the world. Visitors can zoom in on a country to examine different language regions. By clicking on a region, one can chose to view all major languages spoken in that country, or, alternatively, can explore where else in the world a particular language is spoken. Another highlight of Langscape is the Language Game, where visitors can listen to an audio recording of speech and see if they can correctly identify the language they are hearing. Langscape includes an extensive K-12 Guide for instructors looking to incorporate these online tools into their classrooms.
