For my final data visualization project, I chose to work with a dataset about extinct and endangered languages. The source for this data set was The Guardian and UNESCO
I wanted to create a visualization that would allow users to see the names of these languages, the amount of people that speak that language, and the degree of endangerment the language was.
In my visualization, the data is represented as dots on a map based on the latitude and longitude of the countries. The color indicates the degree of endangerment with a key for colors near the top.
To interact with the visualization, try clicking the different colors on the key to filter through the status of endangerment.
One interesting thing I noticed during this project is that there are not many endangered languages in the US
Something I still wonder about is what this project would look like if I included all the locations where the languages are spoken.
