This linguistic map image could be re-created using vector graphics as an SVG file. This has several advantages; see Commons:Media for cleanup for more information. If an SVG form of this image is available, please upload it and afterwards replace this template with {{vector version available|new image name}}. It is recommended to name the SVG file “Na-Dene langs.svg”—then the template Vector version available (or Vva) does not need the new image name parameter.

Map redrawn and modified from a map by cartographer Roberta Bloom appearing in Mithun (1999:xviii-xix).

Additional references include Mithun (1999:xx-xxi, 606-616), Goddard (1996) (contains a very nice color map), Sturtevant (1978-present), Campbell (1997:353-376).

• Na-Dene languages are in red.
• Na-Dene here excludes the Haida language. The Haida affiliation is currently considered undemonstrated by most specialists.
