| ==Introduction==

| *In the Sefdaanian cultures, each individual is a member of a hierarchy of communities. The Ethrans have used this hierarchy as a pattern for their classification of life forms.
| |
| #The individual is, first of all, a member of one of the six Loquent Peoples. The largest of the taxonomic communities is that of the '''leudha''' (< '''le̋uðu''', people). Thus, there are "animal people" and "plant people". This division corresponds to "kingdom" in modern taxonomy.
| |
| #Next, the individual lives in one of the seven regions (watersheds) of Sefdaania. This division, the '''ta̋iɱa''' (< '''ta̋iɱa''', region), corresponds to "class" in modern taxonomy.
| |
| #Within the several regions, the individual lives in a commune. This division, the '''kőina''' (< ''' kőino''', commune), corresponds to "order" in modern taxonomy.
| |
| #Each commune is comprised of a number of families. This division, the '''ða̋ma''' (< '''ða̋mu''', family), corresponds to "family" in modern taxonomy.
| |
| #Within the family, the individual is usually one of several siblings. This division, the '''ȝǫ̋ra''' (< ''' ȝǫ̋ru''', sibling), corresponds to "genus" in modern taxonomy.
| |
| #And finally there is the individual himself. This division, the '''še̋ða''' (< '''še̋ðu''', individual), corresponds to "species" in modern taxonomy.
| |
|
| |
|
| *Finer divisions can be made with the use of prefixes, ''e.g.'':
| |
| #'''uf-''', higher = super-
| |
| #'''ner-''', under = sub-
| |
| #'''sup-''', low = infra-
| |
|
| |
| *This table makes use of the following ranks:
| |
| **Phylum (superclass) (P) – '''ufta̋iɱa'''
| |
| **Class (C) – '''ta̋iɱa'''
| |
| **Family (F) - '''ða̋ma'''
