1599 Other Afro-Asiatic Languages
Sub family page inside the ASCL hierarchy. Use it to compare the narrow group branches that sit under this language family segment.
What this sub family covers
ASCL sub family groups sit between the family group and narrow group levels. They are useful when the top-level family still contains too many possible branches for a reliable coding decision.
In practice, this is the level where you compare related language branches before you move to the narrow group and final language record.

Frequently asked questions
What does ASCL sub family 1599 represent?
Other Afro-Asiatic Languages is a sub family group inside ASCL family group 15. It narrows the language hierarchy before the narrow group and final language levels.
When should I use this page?
Use the sub family page when the family group is still too broad. It is the right step if you need to compare neighbouring narrow groups.
Is the sub family code the final code?
No. The final code is the eight-digit language record. This page is still a structural step above the end code.
