As the skill says:
)Family: Each Language belongs to one particular
)Family of intrinsically related tongues (see =A739.6).
)
)Language Group: History, geography, and custom
)all transform languages - therefore languages with
)a common history or interaction share the same Language
)Group (see =A739.7). A language may belong to
)several groups, and a group may link languages from
)different Families.
