OGF:Language families
This page lists real world language families, subgroups and languages and their OGF equivalent, where these languages are known to exist.
Language families are grouped, colours similar to wikipedia. This page currently includes around half of the worlds main primary language families (but only a very small proportion of real world languages). New additions at top level (family) should take a unique colour, based on the colours used in wikipedia.
OGF equivalent of language families in brackets (e.g. (Axian-Ardentic)) means suggested names or temporary, which they can be changed by someone else who can think up of a better name.
'Conlangs' and unique language mixes (i.e. combinations of languages that do not exist in the real world) should be shaded in brown - pick a novel shade from here. 'Grouped conlangs' - that is languages which are related to each other - and creoles of the same language mix (e.g. English & Japanese) should share a colour.
Languages for which Google Translate is available are marked *.
The template at Template:Infobox lang/doc will allow you to place an infobox for your language that automatically matches the colour of the language family shown on this page.

Indoeuropean | Baltic | Lithuanian*, Latvian*, Samogitian, Latgalian, Old Prussian†... | Uletarephian | Skarvian | Littic, Lathonian | Named after the region of Skarvenala in Keira, where Littic and Lathonian originate. Coincidentally, there's an extinct Baltic language with a similar name - Skalvian. So I think it's a fairly fitting name. | |
Conlang | Balto-Germanic | Germanic grammar with Balto-Slavic quirks. Most of vocabulary is hybrids of German and Baltic words, but there are some words of Swedish and Slavic origins. | Uletarephian | Skarvo-Gaermanic | Ostrian | Since it's a mix of of two Indo-European branches which have interacted with each other in real life, I think it's fair to categorise it as Uletarephian rather than a completely distinct conlag. I mean, it really wouldn't make sense to make a separate isolate family akin to Japonic for a Balto-Germanic language. | |
