Line 43:
The two Algic languages of California, Wiyot and Yurok, have sometimes been combined into a subgroup called ''Ritwan'' (leading to a two-branch genetic tree of Ritwan and Algonquian). This grouping has been disfavored by many specialists. Wiyot and Yurok do not seem to be any more similar to each other than either language is to Algonquian languages.
Within the Algonquian subfamily there is a smaller genetic grouping of the Eastern Algonquian languages. The other (non-Eastern) Algonquian languages have sometimes been categorized into two smaller subgroups: ''Central Algonquian'' and ''Plains Algonquian''. However, these two subgroups are not based on genetic relationship but are rather areal subgroups. (See [[Algonquian]].)
