Phylum
In biology, a phylum (; plural: phyla) is a level of classification or taxonomic rank below kingdom and above class. Traditionally, in botany the term division has been used instead of phylum, although the International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants accepts the terms as equivalent. Depending on definitions, the animal kingdom Animalia contains about 31 phyla, the plant kingdom Plantae contains about 14 phyla, and the fungus kingdom Fungi contains about 8 phyla. Current research in phylogenetics is uncovering the relationships between phyla, which are contained in larger clades, like Ecdysozoa and Embryophyta. General description The term phylum was coined in 1866 by Ernst Haeckel from the Greek (, "race, stock"), related to (, "tribe, clan"). Haeckel noted that species constantly evolved into new species that seemed to retain few consistent features among themselves and therefore few features that distinguished them as a group ("a self-contained unity" ...

Language Family
A language family is a group of languages related through descent from a common ''ancestral language'' or ''parental language'', called the proto-language of that family. The term "family" reflects the tree model of language origination in historical linguistics, which makes use of a metaphor comparing languages to people in a biological family tree, or in a subsequent modification, to species in a phylogenetic tree of evolutionary taxonomy. Linguists therefore describe the ''daughter languages'' within a language family as being ''genetically related''. According to '' Ethnologue'' there are 7,151 living human languages distributed in 142 different language families. A living language is defined as one that is the first language of at least one person. The language families with the most speakers are: the Indo-European family, with many widely spoken languages native to Europe (such as English and Spanish) and South Asia (such as Hindi and Bengali); and the Sino-Tibetan famil ...

Phyla (genus)
''Phyla'' is a genus of eustarid plants in the verbena family, Verbenaceae. The name is derived from the Greek word φυλή (''phyle''), meaning "tribe", and most likely refers to the tightly clustered flowers or the spreading, mat-like growth. Members of the genus are known generally as fogfruit or frogfruit. Species once classified in the genus ''Lippia'' may be known by the common name lippia. Some species, e.g. Aztec Sweet Herb ('' P. dulcis''), are used in cooking. Selected species * ''Phyla canescens'' (Kunth) Greene – hairy frogfruit/fogfruit * '' Phyla chinensis'' Lour. * '' Phyla cuneifolia'' (Torr.) Greene – wedgeleaf frogfruit/fogfruit, wedgeleaf * ''Phyla dulcis'' ( Trevir.) Moldenke, – Aztec sweet herb, honeyherb, ''hierba dulce'' (Spanish), ''tzopelic-xihuitl'' (Nahuatl) * ''Phyla fruticosa'' (Mill.) Kennedy – diamondleaf frogfruit/fogfruit * ''Phyla × intermedia'' Moldenke – intermediate frogfruit/fogfruit * ''Phyla lanceolata ...
