From Glottolog 4.4 : Kru lacks sufficient lexical resemblances and noun class resemblances to conclude a relationship with Atlantic-Congo, Tom Güldemann 2018 (Jkrn111 (talk) 19:36, 22 May 2021 (UTC)).Reply

@Jkrn111: Yeah, but the logical order would be: change the prose first, then infobox + catergorization. The worst we can have is unsynchronized classifications. Another thing is consistency. If we follow Glottolog in following Güldemann's assessment, we have to treat Ubangi in the same way (regardless of it being deeply nested within NC in Glottolog). Güldemann has both Kru and Ubangi among his "promising" members or NC (on par with Dogon, Bangime and Pere). If we leave out Kru, we also have to leave out Ubangi, all the more since Dimmendaal considers Ubangi an isolate. –Austronesier (talk) 18:49, 23 May 2021 (UTC)Reply
