16/ And finally, because big is brilliant, let’s end this thread on the World Atlas of Language Structures.

An incredible study of over 160 maps showing the geographic distribution of structural linguistic features such as word order, number of genders and more.

You can see the complete list of linguistic items here and find the maps in the links. wals.info/chapter

We’ll leave you with a screenshot of one of the maps:

17/ So there you have it, linguistic atlases! Pretty fascinating, don’t you think? Be honest… how long did you spend listening to that fable and browsing the maps?

Thank you very much for reading (and sharing)!
