Abstract
Chapter 5, Unclassified and Spurious Languages, surveys the unclassified and spurious languages, providing new information on several and giving additional perspective on others. The unclassified (actually unclassifiable) languages are those so poorly attested that it is impossible to classify them. For some of them nothing is known, for others only a tiny handful of words were ever written down. There are literally hundreds of cases of unclassified languages in the Americas. The spurious languages include the hoaxes and fakes and other non-existent things misidentified as languages. There are a surprising number of these, as well.
