Abstract

Annotation: This thesis delves into the intricate task of classifying world
languages, examining the diverse range of typological systems, universal patterns, and
linguistic variations that characterize the classification of languages across the globe.
By conducting an in-depth analysis of language classification approaches, typological
parameters, genetic affiliations, and areal features, this study aims to elucidate the
principles, criteria, and challenges involved in categorizing languages into distinct
groups. Through a synthesis of theoretical frameworks, empirical data, and cross-
linguistic comparisons, this thesis seeks to enhance our understanding of the
complexities inherent in the classification of world languages and their implications
for linguistic theory and typology.
