		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.

		Academy of the Hebrew Language (האקדמיה ללשון העברית)
		Constructed languages are by definition their inventors' regulations, so language planning, as known in natural languages, does not exist independent of the language itself.
		The constructed language Interlingua is not regulated in the usual sense, as its vocabulary is the result of dynamically applying certain general design principles with respect to an existing set of natural languages with their etymologies and should therefore theoretically be mostly fixed independent from who is doing the "regulating".
