• Defined by: gmeow:slices/languages
• Box roles: TBox role (What is this?)

The sociolinguistic classification of a language variety — a value, never an Entity subclass. Standpoint-scoped: 'dialect' according to one authority may be 'language' according to another. The seed list is an anchor, not a fence.

Structure

Subclass of: gufo:QualityValue

Practical Pattern

Use gmeow:LanguageVarietyKind as a specialized kind of gufo:QualityValue. Add statement metadata or a standpoint when the assertion needs provenance, confidence, or vantage.
