Enhance glottolog data

Description

This function restructures glottolog data, and optionally adds/removes data. If you want more flexibility in choosing which data to add/remove, you can use glottoboosterflex().

Usage

glottobooster(
  glottologdata = NULL,
  space = TRUE,
  addfamname = TRUE,
  addisolates = TRUE,
  L1only = TRUE,
  addfamsize = TRUE,
  addfamsizerank = TRUE,
  rename = TRUE
)

Arguments

glottologdata	data from glottolog, can be downloaded with glottoget("glottolog").
space	Return spatial object?
addfamname	Add column with familiy names?
addisolates	Add column to identify isolates?
L1only	Keep only L1 languages (remove bookkeeping, unclassifiable, sign languages, etc.).
addfamsize	Add column with family size?
addfamsizerank	Add column with family size rank?
rename	Rename columns "id" to "glottocode" and "iso639p3code" to "isocode"

Details

This function is used to generate 'glottobase' (the reference dataset used throughout the glottospace R package). The default options generate 'glottobase', which can be loaded directly using glottoget("glottobase").

Value

glottologdata object, either a spatial object (class: sf) or a data.frame.
