The best place to get language family maps is from atlas publishers, who

often sell single sheets as well as bound copies, e.g., the Government

Printing Office. The Alaska Native Langauges Center has one for Alaskan

languages, and I'll bet you can get that Caucasus one as a sheet from

Grollier (National Geographic). I don't know any way to look things up in a

"Posters in Print."



The IPA governing body sells books on the IPA, and might sell posters, too.



You could make one easily enough on a computer, but printing it would

require access to a printer that handles large sheets. 8.5 x 11 tables of

fonts can be printed from many font packages.
