Sascha Wolfer<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://vis.social/@waeiski" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>waeiski</span></a></span> Unfortunately, <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/Ethnologue" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Ethnologue</span></a> is the only comprehensive database that provides polygon shapefiles for the spread of languages – at that is behind a high paywall. If you come across any database providing those openly, we would be very happy to know!</p>
