Graph explaining concept of group
 
• The graphic on the left, from nineteenth century's Smith geography textbook, was supposed to show the "types" belonging to a human race, the "Yellow" or "Mongolian" one. Anthropologists today state that such race-based worldview was an invention, and that differences between human groups are actually related to learned cultural behavior.
The much-necessary (for classification purposes) division on groups made here at Ethnoarch.com is based on one such cultural aspect, which is language. This page, accordingly, presents a list of 7,300 or so existing language groups in the world, following the naming and coding classification by SIL's Ethnologue.
Clicking on each group's name will take you to a page with general information on its architecture. Clicking on its image will take you directly to the group's architectural types page.
