Fig. 3

Observed vs predicted linguistic differences between the dialect groups. Predicted differences between the dialect groups calculated on the basis of (a) cultural differences (corresponds to fractions b, d, f and g in Fig. 2a), (b) environmental differences (corresponds to fractions a, d, e, and g in Fig. 2a), (c) environmental and cultural differences together (corresponds to fractions a, b, d, e, f and g in Fig. 2a), and (d) geographical distances (corresponds to fractions c, e, f and g in Fig. 2a). Cultural and environmental features are given in Table 2. N = 91, as pairing up the 14 dialect groups resulted with 91 linguistic difference values
