I have greatly expanded the template to sort the languages according to subbranch. The criteria for inclusion in the box are (1) an ISO 639-3 code, (2) a living language, and (3) a Wikipedia article specifically about the language. + An gr 13:14, 30 July 2009 (UTC)
I had such debates in several Wikipedias. The present template is a breach of syllogism. Sarcelles ( talk) 15:42, 2 March 2010 (UTC)

This template gives the idea that Low Franconian and Low Saxon are two separate groups. The language of the Hanseatic League was Low German and this included the Low Franconian and Low Saxon varieties. Historically, there were no two separate languages, but there was a so-called dialect continuum.
Making a difference between High German and the Low German (including Dutch) is already questionable in both ways, but separating the Low German in two different categories is simply incorrect. Isn't it stange that Frisian, Danish and Norwegian don't have so many dialects like German and Dutch? They really do, but they aren't shown here in this template...

In this table you will find English and Frisian on the one side, and German and Dutch on the other side. The so-called Low Saxon or Low German variety should be somewhere between the Dutch and German language. I propose you merge Low Franconian and Low Saxon, otherwise you need at least three new linguistic groups for Frisian as well. Kind regards -- Kening Aldgilles ( talk) 00:38, 25 December 2011 (UTC)
Why is Gothic language in East Germanic languages is omitted and does not appear in this list in the template? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.100.127.97 ( talk) 09:08, 17 October 2015 (UTC)
If someone more knowledgeable about the classfication of Germanic languages could take a look at this template, that would be great. Ungoliant MMDCCLXIV ( talk) 13:05, 25 January 2017 (UTC)
