Usage

{{Infobox language family
| name        = name of language family#REQUIRED
| altname     = alternative name(s) of the language family
| ethnicity   = people(s) who speak the languages as a group
| region      = geographic region in which its languages are mainly spoken
| familycolor = appropriate language family #REQUIRED
| fam1        = the broadest possible widely accepted [[language family]] of which this language family is a part
| fam2        = a more specific sub-family of which this family is a part
| ...
| fam15       = most specific sub-group of which this family is a part
| family      = whatever you want to say
| protoname   = proto-language, if one has been reconstructed
| child1      = a language or group of languages belonging to this family
| child2      = another language or group of languages belonging to this family
| ...
| child20     = another language or group of languages belonging to this family
| children    = whatever you want to say
| map         = a map of the region where it is spoken. Format must be "name of map.extension" (without 'file/image' or the square brackets)
| mapcaption  = caption underneath the map. See {{tl|legend}} as a helpful tool.
| map2        = a second map (or any image)
| mapcaption2 = caption underneath second map
| mapsize     = overrides the default map size, which is currently 350px. Format must include units ("123px" or "12em"). Affects both maps.
| boxsize     = overrides default width of infobox, currently set at 22em. Format must include units ("12em" or "123px"). 
                Useful when an article has various infoboxes aligned in a column. (Box will automatically expand to fix map wider than default box width.)
| sil         = the code used for the family at SIL/''Ethnologue''. Provides a link.
| silname     = the name used for the family at SIL/''Ethnologue'', when this differs from WP.
| sil2–3      = additional codes for the family at SIL; sometimes due to parsing errors, parts of a family will appear at different locations.
| silname2–3  = names for these scattered parts
| iso2        = ISO 639-2 language code (such as for 'macrolanguages')
| iso5        = ISO 639-5 language family code
