Language classification is the systematic grouping of languages according to specified linguistic criteria, including historical relationships, structural characteristics, and geographical distribution ^[1][2]. Genetic classification groups languages according to evidence of common ancestry, whereas typological classification groups them according to shared features of linguistic structure, such as phonology, morphology, and syntax, regardless of whether the languages share a common origin ^[1][2]. Areal classification groups languages according to geographical relationships and features that may arise through language contact and convergence ^[2]. These approaches employ different classification criteria and address distinct relationships among languages; consequently, languages grouped together under one approach do not necessarily belong to the same group under another ^[1][2].
