Explore the linguistic landscape of China with this Ethnologue Country Digest, a downloadable PDF document that provides detailed, country-specific language data, presented in an exclusive format not available through the online version of Ethnologue.
Digests include:
- A comprehensive country overview.
- Statistical summaries by language status, size, and family.
- Alphabetical listing of languages in the country, with in-depth language descriptions.
- Full-color language map(s) for visual reference.
- Listings by population, status, family, and region.
- Indexes of ISO 639 codes and alternate language names.
Unlike our online subscriptions, which provide access to individual language and country profiles, these digests present curated, country-specific data with summaries and analysis in a convenient, downloadable format, making them ideal for researchers, linguists, and anyone interested in understanding the languages of a particular country.
