	Linguasphere Observatory - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		They have devised an innovative scheme of philological classification, which includes a hierarchy of relationships based partly on percentages of lexical similarity between language's core vocabularies, and also an unusual system that zigzags between genetic and geographic categories (which they call phylozones and geozones, respectively).
		In 1999, the Linguasphere published the Linguasphere Register of the World's Languages and Speech Communities, the second edition of which is due out in 2006.
		Since then, the Linguasphere's director, David Dalby, has been actively involved in a linguistic concatenation project with the British Standards Institute (BSI).

	Classification, Identification and
		In July 2001, the BSI (British Standards Institution) requested the Linguasphere Observatory to make a firm proposal for the establishment of a standardised alphanumeric coding system covering all the world's languages, based on existing and future codes of ISO 639 and correlated with the referential framework and relationship scale of the Linguasphere Register.
		Linguasphere Mapbase of the World's Languages and Speech Communities and is currently being extended into southern Europe and western Asia, in collaboration with the Languages of the World unit of the Russian Academy of Sciences (Akademia Nauk).
		A more detailed proposal will be prepared by the Linguasphere Observatory for the beginning of 2002, including the orderly extension of identification codes to all spoken and written languages, and the examination of procedures for combining language codes with codes for countries and for scripts.

	Berber languages - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Around the turn of the century, it was reported that the Zenata of the Rif called their language "Zenatia" specifically to distinguish it from the "Tamazight" spoken by the rest of the Rif.
		One group, the Linguasphere Observatory, has attempted to introduce the neologism "Tamazic languages" to refer to the Berber languages.
		Tamazight (the Berber language/s) is a member of the Afro-Asiatic language family (formerly called Hamito-Semitic.) Traditional genealogists often considered the Berbers as Arabs that immigrated from Yemen; for this reason, some considered Tamazight to derive from Arabic.

		Linguasphere is comparable in some respects to SIL's Ethnologue project; both provide a system of language identifiers with codes for almost all the living languages of the world." [adapted from a book review by Philip Baker]
		Compiled over several decades by David Dalby (Linguasphere Observatory, London School of Oriental and African Studies and University of Wales, Cardiff), the Register classifies all known languages and dialects on the basis of their closest linguistic relationships, and includes a theoretical and practical discussion and presentation of the linguasphere.
		The Linguasphere is composed of two interlocking and evolving strata of human conventions: (1) the total lexical repertoire of humankind, made up of the overlapping and shifting repertoires of all spoken and recorded languages, (2) the global distribution of the overlapping and shifting phonological and grammatical patterns which serve to structure those repertoires.
