Phonology of the World's Languages
Return Home


This is the Phonology Phreak's Gateway to the world's languages. In here, I list the phonologies of as many of the world's languages as possible. I'm hoping that ultimately, I'll be able to analyze this data and see if phonology correlates in any way to language family relationships. (My guess is, Probably Not Significantly.)

Below is a list of the world's major language families. As this section of my web space grows, I will be breaking them down further by subfamily. Listed next to each language family is the languages that I have available for that family. I will be following Merritt Ruhlen's Guide to the World's Languages as the source for categorizing languages into their families.
Go to my Phonology Chart to see how I encode phonemes in my tables.
