About

An independent research project — not a company.

Linguistic Planet is the public face of LINGACON — Lingual Connectivity — an independent scientific research project measuring how the world does (and does not) share language.

The project indexes 897 languages across 235 jurisdictions, computes the ALPS and GLCI metrics from original data, and publishes its methods in the open. Every subscription and donation funds the next round of research rather than shareholders.

Linguistic Planet is where you explore. LINGACON is where the science lives.
