Thread:Talk:Languages by language family/Ethnologue errs with West Germanic languages.

Despite the data listed in Ethnologue, which has several errors in its West Germanic data, we should replacve this:
 * Low Saxon-Low Franconian
 * Low Franconian
 * Low Saxon
 * Low Saxon
 * High German
 * German
 * Middle German
 * Upper German
 * Yiddish
 * Upper German
 * Yiddish
 * Yiddish

with that:
 * German
 * Low Saxon-Low Franconian
 * Low Franconian
 * Low Saxon
 * Low Saxon
 * High German
 * Middle German
 * Upper German
 * Yiddish
 * Upper German
 * Yiddish
 * Yiddish

The latter is more like linguists (and Wikipedias) see it. Noone but Ethnologue has another "German" group as a subgroup of "High German". Note also that both the group "Low Saxon-Low Franconian" and its subgroup "Low Saxon" are commonly referred to as "Low German" in German literature. I do not want to recommend that here but mention it so as to make the structure clearer. Having a "Low German" group outside a "German" group would have an odd boding with itself, would it not?
