 Language families and languages
Most languages are known to belong to language families (called simply "families" for the rest of this article).
Language families can be subdivided into smaller units, conventionally referred to as "branches" (because the history of a language family is often represented as a "tree" diagram).
Languages that cannot be reliably classified into any family are known as language isolates.

Native American languages are the indigenous languages of the Americas, spoken from Alaska and Greenland to the southern tip of South America.
The Native American languages consist of dozens of distinct language families as well as many language isolates; proposals to group these into higher-level families have been made by some linguists, but are not generally accepted.
Native American languages vary greatly in the number of speakers, from Quechua and Aymara with millions of active speakers to a number of languages with only a handful of elderly speakers.

Language families can be divided into smaller phylogenetic units, conventionally referred to as branches of the family, because the history of a language family is often represented as a tree diagram.
A language isolated in its own branch within a family, such as Greek within Indo-European, is often also called an isolate, but such cases are usually clarified.

 Quechuan languages --  Britannica Concise Encyclopedia - Your gateway to all Britannica has to offer!   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
When the Spanish conquered the empire in 1532, Quechuan languages were spoken in western South America from what is now southern Colombia to central Chile and from the Pacific coast to the borders of the Amazon Basin.
Although the languages are still spoken by a large population of Indians, many of whom are monolingual, they are slowly losing ground to the Spanish language, which is the language of government and education.
