Description

Cross-Linguistic Data Format (CLDF) is a framework for storing cross-linguistic data, ensuring compatibility and ease of data exchange between different linguistic datasets see Forkel et al. (2018) <doi:10.1038/sdata.2018.205>. The 'rcldf' package is designed to facilitate the manipulation and analysis of these datasets by simplifying the loading, querying, and visualisation of CLDF datasets making it easier to conduct comparative linguistic analyses, manage language data, and apply statistical methods directly within R.
