This project is based on following resources:
- Technology used for the project itself: This project is managed as a desktop application written in C# on Visual Studio using Linq to XML. The online genetic proximity calculator is an asp.net web implementation of the same functionality used on the desktop application and is simple code reuse from it. The distance matrix is generated by the desktop application only.
- The major steps of the research are carried out using R and the ape, Geiger and Phangorn R-packages.
- The program initially used to generate evolutionary trees from the distance matrix was MEGA7: Molecular Evolutionary Genetics Analysis Version 7.0 for bigger datasets (submitted). Kumar S, Stecher G, and Tamura K (2015) – www.megasoftware.net
- Technology used for project publishing: Basically WordPress CMS using the Responsive Theme.
- The Global Lexicostatistical Database - Great project & resource! One of the leading references for lexicostatistics.
- The ASJP Database Very comprehensive database for over 5.500 languages. Basis is a 40 items wordlist
- Words from the Swadesh list in various languages
- Sound Correspondences in the World's Languages (Cecil H. Brown, Eric W. Holman and Søren Wichmann) Great quantitative approach about sound correspondence and one of the very few available.
- The Palaeolexicon Very interesting source for old languages, some of which are not well known so far.
