Ethnolinguistic Groups of Southeastern Europe: Ways of Presentation

Year: 2023

Type: article

Abstract: The experimental article discusses the problem of uniform analysis, digitalization and proportional presentation (visualization) of information available in scientific publications about modern ethnolinguistic groups in Southeastern Europe (Balkan and Carpathian-Danube areas).Based on the results of a systematic analysis and digitization of data sources, 200 ethnolinguistic groups and 50 linguistic varieties (languages) were found in the region.In a specially developed web application, digital methods for presenting these groups and languages in the form of interactive electronic graphs and geographical maps were selected and practically applied.The problems of providing comprehensive lists of ethnolinguistic groups and languages are discussed.The prospects for the development of quantitatively substantiated approaches to the compilation of representative linguistic samples for the region are outlined.
