Data-completeness for this profile: name, any id, glottocode, austlang, classification chain, coordinates real, coordinates any, endangerment, grammar profile, deep time dated, autonym candidate. Autonyms are unverified candidates drawn from alt-name lists; coordinates carry a provenance flag; a spreading language lineage is not a moving population. Coverage tier: Documented.
