language family
• A language family is a set of languages deriving from a common ancestor or "parent."
• Languages with a significant number of common features in phonology, morphology and syntax are said to belong to
the same language family. Subdivisions of a language family are called "branches."
•

• It is estimated that there are more than 250 established language families in the world, and over 6,800 distinct languages, many of which are threatened or endangered.

• The number of languages that make up a language family varies greatly.
• There are many languages that do not appear to be related to any other. These single-member language families are referred to as language isolates.
