"Papunesia", huh?[edit]

A note of explanation of this term would be good. I'm guessing it = the Pacific region. Koro Neil (talk) 11:14, 20 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Koro Neil: "Papunësia" is an Albanian word that means "unemployment." Jarble (talk) 06:43, 23 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I change it to Oceania when I encounter it (in English, of course)--73.93.142.208 (talk) 07:38, 23 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Table has one too many language families.[edit]

The article accurately states that Glottolog recognizes 419 language families (including isolates, but not including the 8 non-genealogical categories "Bookkeeping", "Sign Language", "Unclassifiable", "Pidgin", "Unattested", "Artificial Language", "Speech Register, and "Mixed Language", inclusion of which brings the number up to 427, as seen at https://glottolog.org/glottolog/family ); however, I've confirmed the table "List of Glottolog Genealogical Families" has 420 listed. (No, I'm not counting the heading or anything like that.) Which one is extra?DubleH (talk) 02:49, 5 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Kembra is extra. It's part of Lepki-Murkim-Kembra. I've fixed it. Good catch. DRMcCreedy (talk) 17:32, 5 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
