Heritage Language Speaker Map

  • This map of the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) shows (approximately) where many of the speakers in the HLVC project live.
  • You can see the geographic distribution for each language and generation by clicking on groups in the table on the left.
  • Then click on the pointer on the map to hear and read a sample of that person's speech.
  • Speakers are represented anonymously, but each "speaker code" provides information about the speaker's Heritage Language, generation, gender, and age.
  • You can listen to the people with loudspeaker icons.

If the map doesn't load properly here, try this page.
