Language Atlas of China
The Linguistic Atlas of Chinese Dialects (), edited by Cao Zhiyun and published in 2008 in three volumes, is a dialect atlas documenting the geography of varieties of Chinese. Unlike the "Language Atlas of China" (1987), which maps the distribution of both minority languages and Chinese dialect groups, the new atlas is a collection of maps of various features of dialects, in the tradition of the "Atlas linguistique de la France" and its successors.
