That sounds like a good point to me. In fact, there are even two kinds of
reconstructed languages: reconstructions like Ferko's Neo-Dalmatian, and
proto-languages à la Proto-Indo-European, Proto-Germanic, etc. This kind of
multi-languages wouldn't fit in either group. Perhaps it would be a good idea
to create a special category for them.
