===Create family tree=== Creation of the language tree is based solely on the table found above. Various sub-grouping methods can be used but that adopted by Dyen, Kruskal and Black was: * all lists are placed in a [[Pool (computer science)|pool]] * the two closest members are removed and form a nucleus which is placed in the pool * this step is repeated * under certain conditions a nucleus becomes a group * this is repeated until the pool only contains one group. Calculations have to be of nucleus and group lexical percentages.
