Dr. Stephen Huffman's free downloadable PDF wall maps depicting Ruhlen's language classification at World and continental scales have been updated with new geography from World Language Mapping System (WLMS) version 16.0 (corresponding to Ethnologue 16th Edition) at http://www.worldgeodatasets.com/language/huffman. Downloadable maps are most suitable for printing on 36-50 inch wide large format printers, but can also be used on-screen using zoom capabilities in Adobe Reader and other PDF readers. The maps make excellent reference maps for hallways, classrooms, and offices, and are a good addition to map library collections. Also included on the site are Dr. Huffman's original paper describing the process of adapting Ruhlen's classification to the Ethnlogue data, along with a downloadable zip archive containing a .dbf cross reference table assigning Ruhlen classifications to ISO 639-3 language codes. The zip archive also contains map project files needed to recreate or modify the maps using WLMS 16.0.
