About sources
Map redrawn and modified primary based on two maps by cartographer Roberta Bloom appearing in Mithun (1999:xviii–xxi). Incidentally, these maps are very derivative of the Driver map of the 1950s–60s (which means that, although published in 1999, it is not as up-to-date as one might think). The other main source used is the up-to-date and very well-done map found in Goddard (1996), which was revised as Goddard (1999). Essentially, Bloom's map was used for the projection and general outline of language borders while Goddard's maps were used to adjust Bloom's borders to reflect the more recent research.
Additional references include Sturtevant (since 1978), Mithun (1999:606–16), and Campbell (1997:353–76). Mithun and Campbell have several maps based on the maps found in Sturtevant (since 1978) and Bright (1992).

About map content
- Map delineates each language family in a unique color.
- Language isolates are all in dark grey, e.g. Chitimacha (#7) is an isolate in Louisiana. This is not meant to imply any relationship among them whatsoever. All isolates are assigned a number and listed on the right side of map.
- Unclassified languages (i.e. #1 Beothuk, #4 Calusa, #8 Adai, #10 Karankawa, #12 Aranama, #15 Solano, #19 Esselen, #26 Cayuse) are in light grey and are also assigned a number and listed with the isolates on the right. (Unclassified languages in the case of North America are unclassified because there is not sufficient data to determine genealogical relationship.)
- Areas in white are either
- uninhabited (in Alaska, Canada, Greenland),
- unknown (due to early extinction and little or no data; this is mostly in the East), or
- outside of subject area (in Mexico). (note that Seri (#17) is included because it is usually considered part of the Southwest culture area and also included in various Hokan phylum proposals.)
- This is a historical map: Although most languages are still spoken in North America, the extent of their distribution has been profoundly affected by European contact — many languages have become extinct (sometimes including even the peoples). (See Endangered language.)
- Language areas are those at earliest time of European contact, as far as can be determined. Since contact occurred at different times in different areas, no historical Native American maps of the entire continent are of a single time period.
- Language areas are not as well-defined as this map would suggest: borders are often fuzzy and arbitrary and the entire language area may not be fully occupied by language speakers.
- Na-Dene here is Athabaskan-Eyak-Tlingit, excluding Haida (#28).
- The following groupings are disputed by some (or are considered not fully demonstrated):
- Plateau Penutian (aka Shahapwailutan) = Klamath-Modoc (isolate) + Molala (isolate) + Sahaptian (family). Sometimes Cayuse (#26) is included in Plateau Penutian, but this language is not very well documented and is now extinct. Thus, it is considered unclassified here.
- Yuki-Wappo = Yuki (isolate) + Wappo (isolate).
To do
- translation into Spanish & other languages
- extend Mexico coverage (for Comecrudo)?

Navoaka tambanin'ny lisansy
- Azonao am-palalahana:
- ny mizara – ny mandika, mizara sy manome ity vokatr'asa ity
- ny mamerina – ny manova ity vokatr'asa ity
- Raha manaraka ireo fepetra ireo :
- mahalala ny namorona azy voalohany – Tsy maintsy manome fampahalalana arifomba momba ny mpamorona ianao, manome rohy manondro ny fahazoan'alalana ary raha nisy fiovana natao. Azonao atao amin'izay fomba rehetra azo atao izany zavatra izany, fa tsy amin'ny fomba milaza hoe manohana na manaiky ny fampiasanao an'ilay asa ilay mpamorona.
