Region

Region names where a language family is spoken today, which can be far wider than where it began. Wikipedia notes several Indo-European languages "have expanded through colonialism in the modern period and are now spoken across Africa, Americas, Oceania and North Asia." This dimension shows the present-day reach of a family rather than only its point of origin.
