Linguasphere Observatory

The Linguasphere Observatory is a language research network. It was created in France in 1983 and is currently based in Wales. They have devised an innovative scheme of philological classification, which includes a hierarchy of relationships based partly on percentages of lexical similarity between language's core vocabularies, and also an unusual system that zigzags between genetic and geographic categories (which they call phylozones and geozones, respectively).
