This repo includes iranian_languages_map.py, a Python script that draws Iranian language distributions over a real predefined basemap.

• Basemap polygons from Natural Earth 10m Admin 0 Countries (extracted and stored in data/iran_neighbors.geojson).
• Iranian language points from Glottolog (iran1269 bigmap) when reachable.
• Offline fallback points if network access is blocked.
• A KDE-style density overlay computed on a lon/lat grid.

python iranian_languages_map.py --output iranian_languages_distribution.svg

• iranian_languages_distribution.svg

• The basemap is in EPSG:4326 (longitude/latitude).
• The script supports Polygon + MultiPolygon basemap features.
• If Glottolog cannot be reached or parsed, the script still generates output from fallback points.
