I scanned the lanquage maps and leave them for a few days on the server.

Copyrights may apply.

Scans are at 300 dpi for readability

Some maps are scanned in 2 parts. Unsharp sections on one part may be sharp
on the other part.



> (Jean-Luc Vellut and others) *Het geheugen van Congo, de koloniale tijd*,
Snoeck and Museum voor Midden-Afrika, 2005, ISBN 90-5349-540-1, 271 pp., 39
euro (large size, tick paper).

p 150-154 Michael Meeuwis deals with the distribution of the local
languages. There has been an intellectual war between Van Bulck and
Hulstaert. Both maps are from 1948

p; 89-107 deals with language issues

> the map p 91 lists the spoken languages, just names positioned on the map,
without an individual territorial border for each of them.

Hope this is usefull for whoever is interested.

Btw *Ruanda** and (B)urundi* in the East on the maps were German colonies
before 1918.
