Thread:Talk:Languages by language family/Names in brackets/reply (2)

Well, the point is, I don't know. Most languages are listed in boldface, but some are listed in normal typeface and in brackets. I did not do that, and I do not know who did it why. My guess is, that brackets are ued to denote a specific variant under a macrolanguage, or a dialect (according to ethnologue) of a language which is also a dialect group. But I am not sure, and for the ones I entered, I did not follow this trait because I was not sure about it.
