abstract: Provides programmatic access to Glottography, an online repository of geospatial
  speaker-area polygons for the world's languages. The package allows users to list
  available datasets, download and install them, and load speaker-area polygons as
  standard spatial 'sf' objects in R. Data are sourced from either the Glottography
  organization on GitHub <https://github.com/Glottography> or the Glottography community
  on Zenodo <https://zenodo.org/communities/glottography>. Based on Ranacher et al.
  (2026) <https://doi.org/10.5334/johd.459>.
