New version of the digitized Dialect Atlas of Finnish by Lauri Kettunen

This package includes alternative representations of the digitized version of Lauri Kettunen's Dialect Atlas of Finnish (Kettunen 1940; http://urn.fi/urn:nbn:fi:csc-kata20151130145346403821). The first version of the digitized data was prepared by profs. Sheila Embleton and Eric Wheeler (York University, Canada) (Embleton & Wheeler 1997, 2000), and further refined for publication by Jyri Lehtinen under the BEDLAN project (Biological Evolution and the Diversification of Languages). The alternative representation provided here includes the data formatted as (1) multistate character format and (2) binary character format. Both formats resemble the representation of population genetic data, and are thus easier to apply to population genetic analyses than the representation provided through the Fairdata repository. Also the linguistic classification of the collected linguistic traits is provided. The data has been prepared by the BEDLAN research project (Biological Evolution and the Diversification of Languages), which has conducted research of Kettunen's dialect atlas using population genetic techniques (Syrjänen et al. 2016, Honkola et al. 2018, Santaharju et al. in revision).

Zenodo. https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.10078078 kettunen_multistate.csv This file contains the multistate representation of the data. Here different states are coded as integers representing the different map symbols from Kettunen's original dialect atlas (for an example, see http://kettunen.fnhost.org/, which provides scans of Kettunen's original atlas map pages by Juha Kuokkala). Municipality_number Unique identifier for each data point (municipality). Municipality_name Municipality name. These may not be unique, as several municipalities may have the same name. lon_WGS84 WGS 84 longitude of the municipality centroid. lat_WGS84 WGS 84 latitude of the municipality centroid. 1a - 213c Dialect features present on each map page. The integer at the beginning matches the map page in Kettunen's atlas, so e.g. page 1 starts with 1. The letter following the integer represents different overlapping variants within a single map page. Each page number is suffixed with as many different letters as there are overlapping variants on th
