Dr. Stephen Huffman's free downloadable PDF wall maps depicting  
Ruhlen's language classification at World and continental scales have 
been updated with new geography from World Language Mapping 
System (WLMS) version 16.0 (corresponding to Ethnologue 16th 
Edition) at

http://www.worldgeodatasets.com/language/huffman.

Downloadable maps are most suitable for printing on 36-50 inch wide  
large format printers, but can also be used on-screen using zoom  
capabilities in Adobe Reader and other PDF readers. The maps make 
excellent  reference maps for hallways, classrooms, and offices, and 
are a good addition to map library collections.

Also included on the site are Dr. Huffman's original paper describing  
the process of adapting Ruhlen's classification to the Ethnlogue data,  
along with a downloadable zip archive containing a .dbf cross 
reference table assigning Ruhlen classifications to ISO 639-3 language 
codes. The zip archive also contains map project files needed to 
recreate or modify  the maps using WLMS 16.0.
