n addition to the largest number of speakers of Ecuadorian Kichwa in different parts of the metro area, there are also smaller communities speaking other varieties of Quechua from Peru and Bolivia, with dialects not necessarily differentiated strictly by country. ELA has worked with the New York Quechua Initiative to present classes taught by Brooklyn-based Peruvian Quechua speaker Elva Ambia. Another community institution, based in Queens, is the Sisa Pakari Cultural Center, and there are speakers as well within the significant Peruvian communities of New Jersey.

Note that the language above may be used throughout the New York area — this is just one significant site.

An urban language map

Welcome to Languages of New York City, a free and interactive digital map of the world’s most linguistically diverse metropolitan area.

All data, unless otherwise specified, is from the Endangered Language Alliance (ELA), based on information from communities, speakers, and other sources.

The map is a work in progress and a partial snapshot, focused on significant sites for Indigenous, minority, and endangered languages. Larger languages are represented selectively. To protect the privacy of speakers, some locations are slightly altered. Social media users, note that LANGUAGEMAP.NYC works best in a separate browser. We apologize that the map may not be fully accessible to all users, including the visually impaired.

This map was created by the Mapping Linguistic Diversity team, with core support from the Peter Wall Institute for Advanced Studies and the Endangered Language Alliance. Please send feedback!

By continuing I acknowledge that I have read and accept the above information.
