Which map shows where different languages are spoken?

• A. Language Map
• B. Ethnicity Map
• C. Climate Map
• D. Contour Map

Answer: (A)

Language distribution is what this item tests. A language map is designed to show where different languages are spoken across regions, using colors or labels to mark each language group. This directly reveals linguistic patterns, multilingual areas, and language boundaries. An ethnicity map focuses on cultural groups and identities, which can include language but isn’t specifically about language placement. A climate map shows weather patterns and climate zones, not languages. A contour map displays elevation and landforms, with no regard to language distribution.
