Usage

{{Infobox language family
| name        = name of language family #REQUIRED
| altname     = alternative name(s) of the language family
| acceptance  = acceptance status of the languages as a valid genetic group
| ethnicity   = people(s) who speak the languages as a group
| region      = geographic region in which its languages are mainly spoken
| extinct     = date family went extinct
| familycolor = appropriate language family #REQUIRED
| fam1        = the broadest possible widely accepted [[language family]] of which this language family is a part
| fam2        = a more specific sub-family of which this family is a part
| ...
| fam15       = most specific sub-group of which this family is a part
| family      = whatever you want to say
| protoname   = proto-language, if one has been reconstructed
| child1      = a language or group of languages belonging to this family
| child2      = another language or group of languages belonging to this family
| ...
| child20     = another language or group of languages belonging to this family
| children    = whatever you want to say
| map         = a map of the region where it is spoken. Format must be "name of map.extension" (without 'file/image' or the square brackets)
| mapalt      = caption for the blind
| mapcaption  = printed caption underneath the map. See {{tl|legend}} as a helpful tool.
| map2        = a second map (or any image)
| mapalt2     = caption for the blind
| mapcaption2 = caption underneath second map
| mapsize     = overrides the default map size, which is currently 350px. Format must include units ("123px" or "12em"). Affects both maps.
| boxsize     = overrides default width of infobox, currently set at 22em. Format must include units ("12em" or "123px"). 
                Useful when an article has various infoboxes aligned in a column. (Box will automatically expand to fix map wider than default box width.)
| iso2, iso3  = ISO 639-2 or -3 language code (such as for 'macrolanguages')
| iso5        = ISO 639-5 language family code
| iso6        = ISO 639-6 code
| lingua      = the Linguasphere code for the family
| glotto(2–5) = the Glottolog code(s) for the family.  Set glotto to "none" if Glottolog does not list the family because it is undemonstrated (branches can still be listed under glotto2–5); set to "NA" if Glottolog does not cover more than one language or branch and so has not evaluated the family.
| glottoname(2–5) = the names to be used in the Glottolog reference (can be cross-ref'd as name=Glottolog etc.)
| glottofoot  = set to "no" to hide the Glottolog footnotes
