[edit] list organization

hi. i would like to have this list split into a few more sections. i would do this myself; however, i am not sure of the difference between some of the terminology. like the differences in superstock vs. phylum vs. stock vs. superphylum. super- refers to the number of languages? or amount of branching? – ishwar  (speak) 08:44, 25 December 2005 (UTC)

No, the distance of the relationship, repsumably as shown by % of cognate vocab. But keep in mind that the entire classification will likely prove spurious. kwami 23:23, 25 December 2005 (UTC)
