The article discusses the classifications of genetic relationships in Bloomington, Indiana. The stability in method, theory and results of genetic relationship classification in the better known language families has been generalized as characteristic of genetic classifications for most of the world in contrast to fluctuations in method and theory which results in synchronic or noncomparative linguistic work. A characteristic language families for each of the three regions that are considered here have long been recognized what is new in present phylogenetic groupings is the production of extensive cognate support for external relations of one language family.
