etc/languages.tsv should show:

[x] the names of the language varieties
[x] the geocoordinates (Longitude and Latitude)
[x] the identifiers (alphanumeric representations)

languages.tsv can be found here.

The geo-coordinates (more important than the glottocodes) should be added by the group. They are provided in the file raw/journal.pone.0240170.s002.pdf.

Using a tool such as doc2pdf it should be easy to convert the data to a word document and then add them to the languages file that was already created there.

determine which one is longitude and which one is latitude
find the geocoordinates for Malagasy

LinguList commented 3 years ago

try to add glottocodes where possible

Simonecomcom commented 3 years ago

The geocoordinates for Madagaskar in general are: latitude: -18.777192 / longitude: 46.854328.

Therefore, the number with the minus in front seems to be the latitude. And the one without minus seems to be the longitude.
