The essay provides asurvey of maps of the languages of the Ancient Near East fromthe first areal maps in the 19th century to the artefact mapsin recent publications. The different visual grammars used inthe cartography of these ancient languages also imply widelyvarying narratives of linguistic geography. The recent move to-wards artefact mapping shifts the discussion away from staticinterpretations of language as a strong correlate of ethnicity to-wards an interpretation of language as a public expression oflinguistic identity within the landscapes of Mesopotamia.","27 S.","978-3-9816384-7-9","https://refubium.fu-berlin.de/handle/fub188/23881||http://dx.doi.org/10.17169/refubium-1656","eng","https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/","900 Geschichte und Geografie::900 Geschichte::900 Geschichte und Geografie","Ancient Near East||language change||language mapping||linguistic geography||linguistic landscapes","Mapping the Linguistic Landscapes of Mesopotamia","Buchkapitel","open access","Mapping Ancient Identities","10.17171/3-55-10","Susanne Grunwald, Kerstin P.
