<p>A <b>macrofamily</b> (also called a <b>superfamily</b> or <b>superphylum</b>) is a term often used in <a href="page.php?w=historical_linguistics">historical linguistics</a> to refer to a hypothetical higher-order grouping of languages, composed of multiple <a href="page.php?w=Language_family">language families</a> and/or <a href="page.php?w=Language_isolate">isolates</a>. Some scholars, such as <a href="page.php?w=Lyle_Campbell">Campbell</a>, view this designation as superfluous or redundant, preferring "<a href="page.php?w=Language_family">language family</a>"</p><p>
