Extinct Languages ScatterMap
Two linked D3.js v6 visualizations explore the global distribution and endangerment status of languages. A world map uses `d3.geoPath` with an equal-earth projection to plot each language as a point, colored by its degree of endangerment. A connected scatterplot uses a log scale for speaker counts, with a `d3.brush` selection that highlights matching language points on both charts simultaneously. The data comes from a CSV of language statistics joined with a GeoJSON world map.
AI-generated descriptionWhat regions have the highest densities of extinct/endangered languages?
How is the number of speakers of a language related to its level of endangerment?
This is a connected map/scatterplot encoding. The colors represent the level of endangerment of a given language and are consistent across the two charts. There is a brush function that allows you to isolate a given section of the scatterplot. The Y-Axis of the scatterplot is the Number of Speakers of a given language. The dropdown menu is not functional yet
