Rules for Posting Guides on Our Community
1. Defining a Guide Guides are comprehensive reference materials, how-tos, or comparison tables. A guide must be well-organized both in content and layout. Information should be easily accessible without unnecessary navigation. Guides can include flowcharts, step-by-step instructions, or visual references that compare different elements side by side.
2. Infographic Guidelines Infographics are permitted if they are educational and informative. They should aim to convey complex information visually and clearly. However, infographics that primarily serve as visual essays without structured guidance will be subject to removal.
3. Grey Area Moderators may use discretion when deciding to remove posts. If in doubt, message us or use downvotes for content you find inappropriate.
4. Source Attribution If you know the original source of a guide, share it in the comments to credit the creators.
5. Diverse Content To keep our community engaging, avoid saturating the feed with similar topics. Excessive posts on a single topic may be moderated to maintain diversity.
6. Verify in Comments Always check the comments for additional insights or corrections. Moderators rely on community expertise for accuracy.

Chinese? Japanese? Vietnamese? Hawaiian? Aboriginal Australian? Navajo?
Those are of different language trees and are unrelated, though some researchers have tried to claim that Chinese and other Asiatic languages share a common ancestor with these, it's not widely accepted and nearly impossible to prove.
Why is there Uralic then?
Old World likely referring to Europe. Except they had to include Middle East and South Asia, because it's the same language tree.
Notably there's no Georgian, because it's also it's own language tree but is not in Europe. But the Caucasus is part of the old world. And Georgia is a candidate country for the EU.
You know what, it doesn't make sense either way.
"Old world" because this is from a post-apocalyptic webcomic. It's taking place somewhere in Scandinavia.
These are indo-european languages, I am sure you could do one for sino-tibetan if you feel like it.
Then where's Tamil, Telugu, Kannada and Malayalam. Thought I'd see it around Sinhalese but they're missing. No south india representation :(
They're not missing, they just belong to an entirely different family. These are Dravidian languages, not Indo-European.
Fascinating, and what about Basque?
Basque is a language isolate and is thought to be unrelated to the Indo-European languages in this graphic.
Should be with the celtic languages I believe.
I would guess that none of those are "old world languages". Those would be on a completely separate tree.
