-The colour codes correspond with descriptions of language vitality given by three websites: the website of Unesco'​s Atlas for languages in danger, the online Ethnologue, ​and the Endangered Languages website. Each website uses its own, unrelated, system to rate a language'​s vitality, using terms such as "​vulnerable",​ "​endangered",​ "​critically endangered",​ etc. Mercator'​s wiki chooses to represent these vitality descriptions with colour codes, so that the viewer can quickly get an idea of the language'​s vitality.+The colour codes correspond with descriptions of language vitality given by four websites: the website of Unesco'​s Atlas for languages in danger, the online Ethnologue, the Endangered Languages website, and Glottolog.\\
