Glottolog is a comprehensive reference for the world's languages, especially the lesser known languages. Glottolog provides a comprehensive catalogue of the world's languages, language families and dialects. It assigns a unique and stable identifier (the Glottocode) to (in principle) all languoids, i.e. all families, languages, and dialects. Any variety that a linguist works on should eventually get its own entry. The languoids are organized via a genealogical classification (the Glottolog tree) that is based on available historical-comparative research.

The online version of Ethnologue includes the top 100 languages, languages of special interest, and language name and language family indexes. Contains entire text of original printed volumes (except language maps).
