Top-level ASCL family group page. Use it to move into the correct sub family branch before you select a narrow group or final language code.
What this family group means
The family group is the broadest structural layer in ASCL 2025. It is designed for language coding workflows where the exact language is not yet known, or where a dataset is still being narrowed to the correct branch.
The practical use of this page is navigation. It helps you confirm the right language family before stepping into more specific sub family and narrow group categories.
