Map things to do:

[edit]
  1. Add ISO-639-3 language tags to the individual language elements in SVG files.
  2. Generate or create more locator maps. (Posted a query about how best to do this at Stack Overflow.)
  3. Create maps that help visualize the language stocks and groups (contentious as they may be).
  4. Add labels to maps (to SVGs, so they can be translated)
