Languages with a significant site in this neighborhood, marked by a point on the map:

Bicolano

Bikol
At least in the early 1990's there was a group of Bicolano teenagers (affectionately known as the "GI guys") living on Governors Island whose parents had settled there as members of the Coast Guard and, in the case of one family, a judge. The Philippines, as a former colony of the US, had a long relationship with the US military, and many Filipinos joined the US Navy after WWII in exchange for citizenship, presumably resulting in the disproportionate number of Filipino families on Governors Island. After the island was decommissioned as a military installation in the 1990s, all these families were forced to leave. 

Palatine German

Pälzisch
Many Protestants in the Palatinate, speaking a distinctive Germanic variety in what is today southwest Germany, were left destitute by the religious and political upheaval that tore through their home territory in the early 18th century. Thousands made their way to Rotterdam, hoping to make it to England, where Parliament had promised sanctuary and where many set up an encampment outside London. As fears of the refugees mounted, the English transported nearly 3,000 German Palatines in ten ships to New York in 1710, where they were quarantined on Governors Island in horrible conditions. Some later came to live in the city, then centered on lower Manhattan, including famed journalist John Peter Zenger, while a larger number of others went on to found farms and settlements in New York's Mohawk Valley, beside the Native Haudenosaunee people.

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!
