The data in this repository used to be available online, with a browsable web interface at http://phonotactics.anu.edu.au/ At this point in time (2020-01-17) it has disappeared.
Luckily, the data has survived in the form of a CSV dump archived on Zenodo:
Thus, the CLDF dataset curated in this repository is derived from the data dump on Zenodo.
The dataset provides data on more than 3,500 languages, including a rich set of
language metadata. The 184 language features for which this dataset provides values are grouped
in three datatypes (as specified in the datatype column):
"datatype"
Type of data: Text
Contains null values: False
Unique values: 3
Longest value: 7 characters
Most common values: boolean (144x)
integer (36x)
number (3x)
Numeric data (datatype integer and number) comes with a specification of minimum and
maximum reported values in the cldf/parameters.csv.
