Classification Bender vs. Ehret

My question is: Why is the template following the classification of Ehret 2001 and not Bender 2000? According to [Eastern Sudanic languages] (and my own impression) Bender is much more followed in the academic world - cf. Ethnologue. Did this practice happen by accident or by purpose? (the same question applies to the linguistic classification of a number of languages inside the infobox) --Gruenman (talk) 22:00, 24 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

It mixed the two which was wrong. I've now changed the nomenclature to clearly reflect Bender and Ethnologue (the prevailing classification). Nilotic has its own section because it's unwieldy, I believe. Bender 2000, Starostin 2016 and Rilly 2009 are all reconcilable with Ethnologue. Only difference is subclassification. -- Lestadii27 (talk) 19:26, 24 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
