Description
This is a map for the Atlas Altera project, and is the first map for a new series of maps I will be racing to pump out over the next little while as I work to completing my linguistics spreadsheet for the whole project. This one is on Africa, and the next ones will also be continent-based.
A little explanation: each country depicted has an easy to Google 3-letter code that corresponds to an OTL / real ISO-639-3 code for a lect/language. I urge you to search some of these up. There are so many interesting Wiki rabbit holes awaiting you!
To access in-depth lore and footnotes (such as the spreadsheet of detailed linguistics information/data that goes with this map), or to download a high resolution print-quality version join the Patreon! Your funds will go to supporting me as well as other collaborators of the project.

I'm doing backstage-style discussions for this project with my friend, which you can watch on YouTube and or listen on Anchor/Spotify.
For general context on this project, go to www.atlasaltera.com or check out my DevianArt and my YouTube . Otherwise, please join the community around this project on r/AtlasAltera or Discord (link in the subreddit).
Here's some additional info to complement the legend. The easy to Google 3-letter code for each country corresponds to an OTL / real ISO-639-3code for a lect/language:
