Furthermore, we studied these minor differences and found that they were cases of genuine ambiguity even for a well-trained historical linguist. ...
given in Krishnamurti et al. (1983), we observed that the resultant phylogenetic trees are largely in agreement with the linguistic family tree constructed using the comparative method of reconstruction ...

This paper uses a linguistic tree, describing the genealogical relationship between all 6912 world languages, to compute measures of diversity at different levels of linguistic aggregation. ...
However, at high levels of aggregation both countries are similar: 80% of their populations speak an Indo-European language, with a 20% minority of mostly Dravidian in the case of Sri Lanka and Altaic ...
