Updating the language by language family page

I think I only used Linguist List as a source for dead languages (that aren't in Ethnologue); remember that there has been a new version of Ethnologue published since this list was made, so I think Ethnologue has changed while LL has stayed the same.

OK. Do you recommend that we use the latest version of Ethnologue as our primary source? If so, I will amend the Philippines languages to comply with the latest Ethnologue.

Not certain, but as far as I know, the ISO 639-6 (draft?) categorises things again, possibly differently. user:GerardM probably knows more about it.

Hoi,the information at Ethnologue is consistent with the information we use at translatewiki.net. The iso-639-6 is expected to bring all the information from language families down to dialects together in one big thing. As a project this deserves to be called ambitious. I do not know when the status will change and its data become a standard. Thanks,

Page updated using Ethnologue as first reference. This can be reviewed when iso 639-6 is published.

The languages listed on languages by language family should now be identical to those on Special:SupportedLanguages. Total languages listed is 305.
