+# Georeferencing a language map
 
 This tutorial walks you through the process of georeferencing a language map provided as a raster image in QGIS, an open-source geographic information system (GIS). Georeferencing assigns geographic coordinates to the map, enabling it to be accurately located and displayed in a GIS.

 **Data**: A map in raster image format (e.g., JPG, TIFF, or PNG). In this tutorial, we will georeference a map of the Alor-Pantar languages in Indonesia from Schapper (2020), *Introduction to the Papuan Languages of Timor, Alor, and Pantar*. The map is available as a JPG raster image [here](images/map3papuan.jpg).

-## Adding a basemap
-Before we can georeference the Alor-Pantar map, we first open a basemap in QGIS. The basemap serves as a reference for accurately aligning the language map. To do this, go to `HCMGIS > Basemaps > Vector tiles > Carto Basic` to add the **Carto Basic** basemap from the **HCMGIS** plugin. **Carto Basic** is a clean, visually neutral basemap that uses data from **OpenStreetMap**.
