Languages that are related to one another, that is, languages that are thought to have developed from the same ancestor, are said to be of the same lineage. The study of this kind of lineage between languages, or whether it exists at all, is called linguistic phylogenetics. It often refers to research that seeks to determine to which other languages a language whose lineage is not yet known is related.

親縁関係にある諸言語,すなわち同一の祖語から分れて発達してきたと考えられる諸言語について,それらの諸言語は「系統が同じである」ともいわれるが,言語間のこの種の系統関係,あるいはそれが存在するかどうかに関する研究を言語系統論という。まだ系統のわかっていない言語についてそれが他のどの言語と親縁関係をもつかを究明しようとする研究をいうことが多い。 (→比較言語学 )
