Classification Bender vs. Ehret

My question is: Why is the template following the classification of Ehret 2001 and not Bender 2000? According to [Eastern Sudanic languages] (and my own impression) Bender is much more followed in the academic world - cf. Ethnologue. Did this practice happen by accident or by purpose? (the same question applies to the linguistic classification of a number of languages inside the infobox) --Gruenman (talk) 22:00, 24 April 2015 (UTC)

It mixed the two which was wrong. I've now changed the nomenclature to clearly reflect Bender and Ethnologue (the prevailing classification). Nilotic has its own section because it's unwieldy, I believe. Bender 2000, Starostin 2016 and Rilly 2009 are all reconcilable with Ethnologue. Only difference is subclassification. -- Lestadii27 (talk) 19:26, 24 August 2017 (UTC)
