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) <doi:10.5334/johd.459>.
