Usage

{{Infobox sprachbund
| name        = name of sprachbund #REQUIRED
| altname     = alternative name(s) of the sprachbund
| acceptance  = acceptance status of the languages as a valid sprachbund
| ethnicity   = people(s) who speak the languages as a sprachbund
| region      = geographic region in which its languages are mainly spoken
| extinct     = date sprachbund went extinct
| familycolor = appropriate sprachbund #REQUIRED
| child1      = a language or group of languages belonging to this sprachbund
| child2      = another language or group of languages belonging to this sprachbund
| ...
| child20     = another language or group of languages belonging to this sprachbund
| children    = whatever you want to say
| listclass   = class for the list of children: plainlist (default), hlist (horizontal) or flatlist (bulleted)
| map         = a map of the region where it is spoken. Format must be "name of map.extension" (without 'file/image' or the square brackets)
| mapalt      = caption for the blind
| mapcaption  = printed caption underneath the map. See "Template:legend" as a helpful tool.
| map2        = a second map (or any image)
| mapalt2     = caption for the blind
| mapcaption2 = caption underneath second map
| mapsize     = overrides the default map size, which is currently 350px. Format must include units ("123px" or "12em"). Affects both maps.
| boxsize     = overrides default width of infobox, currently set at 22em. Format must include units ("12em" or "123px"). 
                Useful when an article has various infoboxes aligned in a column. (Box will automatically expand to fix map wider than default box width.)
| module      = used for embedding other infoboxes into this one
| notes       = A space for notes, e.g., "† indicates a dead language", or any "* [something here]" footnote
}}

Background colors

The familycolor parameter should always be set, and determines the color of template headings indicating the broad group of languages to which the sprachbund belongs.
