Pacific-centered Glottolog Language Maps
This repository stores the Shiny app https://linguistr.shinyapps.io/glottoshinyR/, such that users who may find the online server host unavailable can still access the app by running it locally in RStudio, accessed from GitHub using the runGithub()
function from the {shiny}
package:
shiny::runGitHub( "glottoshinyr", "borstell", ref="main")
The repo also contains an R script for users more familiar with R, which can be used to plot similar maps with more customization. For more advanced Glottolog mapping with R, see e.g. the glottospace package.
Glottolog and the R libraries used to create this mapping tool are automatically included in a text caption at the bottom of the output plot, but make sure to cite these source accordingly should you use the map for a paper or presentation or similar: Glottolog, ggnewscale, mapproj, maps, randomcoloR, tidyverse and – if you are using the app – shiny.
Happy mapping!
