[edit] Proposed merge

Not sure this is necessary - while genetic relationship is a defining characteristic of a language family, they are not exactly the same concept.

However, genetic relationship seems to cover exactly the same ground as this article. --JWB (talk) 19:30, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

I think they should be merged. Unless someone can come up with a reason why they shouldn't be merged. Lisa the Sociopath (talk) 09:42, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

Which of the two merges are you talking about? --JWB (talk) 14:25, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

Genetic (linguistics) and Genetic relationship should be merged. Lisa the Sociopath (talk) 08:29, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

I agree. I'll change the merge tag accordingly. --JWB (talk) 12:45, 9 February 2008 (UTC)
