Editing Linguasphere Observatory (section)

===Examples===
The application of the linguascale may be illustrated with the concrete examples below, chosen from within the [[English language]].

For example,
* The code covering all forms of English is <code>52-ABA</code>, where <code>5=</code> represents the [[Indo-European languages|Indo-European phylosector]], <code>52=</code> represents the [[Germanic languages|Germanic phylozone]], <code>52-A</code> represents the ''Norsk+ Frysk set'' (a compound-name chosen to cover the contents of the Germanic phylozone), <code>52-AB</code> represents the ''English+ Anglo-Creole chain'', and <code>52-ABA</code> is the ''English net''. Within this net, the outer units are:
** <code>52-ABA-a</code> – [[Scots language|Scots]]+ Northumbrian.
** <code>52-ABA-b</code> – "Anglo-English" (the traditional localised varieties of southern Great Britain and also Ireland).
** <code>52-ABA-c</code> – Global English (varieties of modern English as spoken and written around the world).
* Some more specific examples of English varieties are:
** <code>52-ABA-abb</code> is the [[Geordie]] traditional variety: belonging to <code>52-ABA-a</code> Scots+ Northumbrian outer language, and <code>52-ABA-ab</code> Northumbrian.
** <code>52-ABA-bco</code> is the [[Norfolk]] traditional variety: belonging to <code>52-ABA-b</code> "Anglo-English" outer unit, and specifically to <code>52-ABA-bc</code> Southern (British) traditional English.
** <code>52-ABA-cof</code> covers the range of (non-creolised) Nigerian English : belonging to <code>52-ABA-c</code> Global English outer unit, and <code>52-ABA-co</code> West-African English. Nigerian English is thus distinguished from the often overlapping <code>52-ABB-bf</code> Enpi (or "NP", from the abbreviation of so-called "Nigerian Pijin"): belonging to <code>52-ABB</code> Anglo-Creole net, and <code>52-ABB-b</code> Wes-kos (West Coast Anglo-Creole).
