Afro-Aciatic is considered a language family of Nostratic level.--Nxx 17:59, 27 December 2005 (UTC)

Lojban?

Not that it has many articles at all but Lojban the constructed language is definitely not Indo-European, so if it's being included in there it should be taken out. Mithridates 16:12, 11 February 2006 (UTC)


Family/Macrofamily

Indo-European, Uralic, Altaic etc. are families. Celtic, Germanic etc. are groups within families. A Macrofamily is a disputed grouping, a grouping of families themselves.

Separate out English/Scots?

Should English/Scots/Simple English be shown separately? Firstly, the English Wikipedia is by far the biggest. Secondly, while English is based on Anglo-Saxon, which is Germanic, it has a huge admixture of French and Latin words, making it rather different from German.--Poetlister 11:51, 19 June 2008 (UTC)
