ਫਰਮਾ:Infobox language family/doc

The language family template is for use in articles about language families and groupings. It provides a common standard for displaying data about the family, and for navigating to larger or smaller groups.

Background colors by family

The familycolor parameter should always be set, and determines the color of template headings indicating the broad group of languages to which the family belongs. Some of these groups (e.g. Altaic, Caucasian) are areal groups rather than accepted language families. When these values are used, the parameter fam1 should be set to the broadest widely accepted language family containing this one, if any.
