1. Some background information The Atlas Linguarum Europae (ALE) has been in existence for over a quarter century now. Recently fascicle 6 of volume I appeared (Viereck 2002), fascicle 7 is with the publisher and the manuscripts of fascicle 8 are now being prepared for publication.It is hoped that the maps will from now on also appear in digitalised form. The ALE can be called a linguistic atlas of the fourth generation, being preceded by regional and national atlases as well as by atlases of language groups. Atlases of the fifth type, i.e. on entire language families such as Indo-European, or on the final type, namely a world linguistic atlas, do not exist as yet. 1 The ALE is the first continental linguistic atlas. Its frontiers are neither political nor linguistic but simply geographic. 2 The choice of the continent has nothing to do with Eurocentrism but only follows from the present state of research.
