The World Atlas of Language Structures Online

Over the last week we rolled out some new functionality requested by our early users:

• Genealogical browsing pages now show numbers of languages in each family or genus.
• On genus pages (like http://wals.info/languoid/genus/romance ) there is now a link to references for all languages having this genus. (Unfortunately we will not be able to extend this to families as well, because this would result in way too long query URLs for the reference database.)
• It is now possible to choose the size of the markers on feature maps. This can be done by either using the slider on a feature value page or directly by supplying a URL parameter s=size (where size is the size of the markers in pixels) with the map URL (e.g. http://wals.info/feature/4?tg_format=map&s=30 ).
