Atlas Linguarum Europae

Atlas Linguarum Europae (ALE) is a detailed cartographic project that maps how different words and expressions are used across Europe. It captures regional linguistic variations, dialects, and vocabularies for common objects, actions, or concepts, showing where specific terms are spoken. By analyzing these maps, linguists can study language diversity, historical influences, and cultural connections within Europe. The project aims to preserve linguistic heritage and enhance understanding of Europe's rich linguistic landscape. Essentially, ALE provides a visual representation of how language varies geographically across the continent.
