Linguistic Atlas of Asia and Africa I

This volume, Linguistic Atlas of Asia and Africa, Volume I, is a sequel to Linguistic Atlas of Asia, Hituzi Syobo, Tokyo, 2021. In this volume, animal terms for ‘rat/mouse, chicken, horse, dog (wolf, optional), and bear’ are addressed. The criterion for the selection is those that seem to have a close relationship with human life. However, since some animals do not exist in some areas of Asia and Africa or are rarely described, it was impossible to draw maps for them; therefore, they are not included in this volume.
