a-c. Organization of typological features. Graphs illustrating the hierarchical principle of organizing linguistic properties, including an prototype model for mapping dependencies in a hierarchical organization of linguistic properties into grids, features, and variants, defined as Boolean values (2a), exemplified on word order classification (2b) merged into a three-level hierarchy (2c).

Linguistic distance against geographic distance.
Linguistic distance measure plotted against geographic distance (Ba = Basque, I-E = Indo-European, Kar = Kartvelian, NeC = North-East Caucasian, NwC = North-West Caucasian, Tk = Turkic, Ur = Uralic).

Linguistic distance against chronological distance.
Linguistic distance plotted against chronological distance (Ba = Basque, I-E = Indo-European, Kar = Kartvelian, NeC = North-East Caucasian, NwC = North-West Caucasian, Tk = Turkic, Ur = Uralic).
