PHOIBLE

PHOIBLE attempts to be faithful to the description of languages in source documents (often called "doculects") and to encode all character data in a consistent representation in Unicode API.

Its data is published under the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 3.0 licence (CC BY-SA 3.0).

[2] The languages are classified by family, geographical coordinates and world regions (Africa, North and South America, Australia, Eurasia and Papunesia).

Multiple entries are based on separate sources that disagree on the number and/or identity of phonemes in the language.

This system is loosely based on Hayes' Introductory Phonology[3] with some additions from Moisik and Esling's The 'whole larynx' approach to laryngeal features,[4] but may change as new languages are added.
