===Calculate lexicostatistic percentages=== This percentage is related to the proportion of meanings for a particular language pair that are cognate, i.e. relative to the total without indeterminacy. This value is entered into an [[distance matrix|{{math|''N''Γ''N''}} table of distances]], where N is the number of languages being compared. When completed, this table is half-filled in [[triangular matrix|triangular]] form. The higher the proportion of cognacy the closer the languages are related.
