This database registers all known living languages (more than 7000 with numerous variants), by means of descriptive files which for each language indicate the family of appurtenance, diffusion, type and other essential data. The resource, the most complete of this type, is the result of a research project which was started in 1951 involving hundreds of linguists, and is an indispensable tool for the study of the lesser known languages. Other tools available: international geolinguistic map; bibliographical database; statistical data for the individual language or country.
