		Thus, provincial dialects of Latin ("Vulgar Latin") gave rise to the modern Romance languages, so the Proto-Romance language is more or less identical with Latin (if not exactly with the literary Latin of the Classical writers), and dialects of Old Norse are the protolanguage to Norwegian, Swedish, Danish and Icelandic.

		The common ancestor of the languages belonging to a language family is known as its protolanguage.
		Languages are considered unclassified either because, for one reason or another, little effort has been made to compare them with other languages, or, more commonly, because they are too poorly documented to permit reliable classification.
		A group of sign "languages" known as manually coded languages are more properly understood as signed modes of spoken languages, and therefore belong to the language family of the spoken language; one example of such a signed language is Warlpiri Sign Language.

		The Turkic languages constitute a language family of some thirty languages, spoken across a vast area from Eastern Europe to Siberia and Western China with an estimated 140 million native speakers and tens of millions of second-language speakers.
		For centuries, the Turkic speaking peoples have migrated extensively and intermingled continuously, and their languages have been influenced mutually and through contact with the surrounding languages, especially the Iranian languages, Slavic languages, and Mongolic languages languages.
		Geographically and linguistically, the languages of Southwestern, Northwestern, and Southeastern subgroup belong to the central Turkic languages, while the Northeastern, Khalaj language is the so-called peripheral language.

	Mosan III
		One of the principal difficulties in the reconstruction of Northwest Coast (NWC) language families is the tremendous time-depth that must be posited to make any kind of case for genetic relationships between languages of the various families, time-depths which rival or even exceed those proposed for the more familiar examples of Indo-European and Afro-Asiatic.
		Like the Na-Dene phylum, the Mosan grouping was based largely on intuition and a smattering of lexical borrowings observed in languages of the three families; Sapir himself did little to defend Mosan, that task being undertaken most thoroughly by his student Morris Swadesh (1953a, 1953b, 1953c).
		That said, the fact remains that the languages of the Salish, Wakashan, and Chimakuan families do present a picture of remarkable grammatical similarity, even within the context of the NWC Coast as a whole, which in itself shows the extensive signs of transmission of phonological, morphological, and syntactic patterns typical of a Sprachbund.

	Indian Linguistic Families of America North of Mexico
		The terms “family” and “stock” are here applied interchangeably to a group of languages that are supposed to be cognate.
		A single language is called a stock or family when it is not found to be cognate with any other language.
		Languages are said to be cognate when such relations between them are found that they are supposed to have descended from a common ancestral speech.

	Language family
		The concept of linguistic ancestry is less clear-cut than the concept of biological ancestry, as in cases of extreme historical language contact, in particular the formation of creole languages and other types of mixed languages; it may be unclear which language should be considered the ancestor of a given language.
		The common ancestor of a language family is seldom known directly, since most languages have a relatively short recorded history.
		The common ancestor of the languages belonging to a language family is known as its proto-language.

		Lexical affixes (or semantic affixes) are bound elements that appear as affixes, but function as incorporated noun s within verbs and as elements of compound noun s.
		The Wakashan languages, Salishan languages, and Chimakuan languages languages all have lexical suffixes — the presence of these is an areal feature of the Pacific Northwest of the North America.
		For instance, one of these languages may have a lexical suffix that means water in a general sense, but it may not have any noun equivalent referring to water in general and instead have several nouns with a more specific meaning (such "saltwater", "whitewater", etc.).

	Stop consonant
		In many languages, such as Malay and Vietnamese, final stops lack a release burst, or have a nasal release.
		Note that there are many languages where the features voice, aspiration, and length reinforce each other, and in such cases it may be hard to tell which of these features predominates.
		Some languages have stops made with other mechanisms as well: ejective stops (glottalic egressive), implosive stops (glottalic ingressive), or click consonants (velaric ingressive).
