First ethnographic maps appeared in the 19th century to reveal the distribution of distinct ethnic groups and languages.
Most of the ethnographic maps in the 19-century focus on parts of the colonial world in which the ethnic distribution was only coming to be studied by Western scientists and also in those regions of Europe and Asia where the geography of ethnicity differed with political borders.
