OK, so sometimes you may want a map showing the distribution of #signlanguages in the world, maybe for a #lingtyp presentation. I struggled to find such maps, especially different classifications/regions, and a Pacific-centered projection.

First, there are some world maps of the 196 #signlanguages in Glottolog with their coordinates (some of which were supplied by me). Classification either Glottolog's or lumped (macro/micro).

Second, there are some regional (basically continents) maps with primary sign languages as macro/micro classes.

Third, there are 4 maps for each of the 196 #signlanguages in Glottolog 4.3:
a) language on world map (alone or highlighted in context of other SLs);
b) language on regional map (as above)

(Here's Kailge SL as an example)

The shared Drive folder contains about 800 maps in total. They are all in PNG format, 600 dpi, and (supposedly) color-accessible palettes.

Feel free to use them however you want!

All #RStats code and data are available in the top folder on Drive for any customization!
