Cultural phylogenetic results for Austronesian, Bantu, and Indo-European language families.

Results are from Bayesian or maximum likelihood studies using character-based linguistic phylogenies that report transition rates (q's) between cultural states. Double-letter subscripts in transition rates correspond to capital letters in the “Possible states” column. For example, in the Austronesian phylogeny, the transition rate of change from matrilocality to patrilocality (qMP) is 20.1 per 10 ky. Likely ancestral roots are given with posterior probabilities in parentheses.
