Let me check that I understand. The only way, currently, to see if a
language is a macrolanguage is to check if there exists at least one
extlang which references it in its Prefix field? Correct?

So, in SQL:

SELECT Languages.code AS macrolanguage, count(Extlangs.code) AS Extlangs 
      FROM Languages,Extlangs WHERE Extlangs.prefix = Languages.code 
      GROUP BY Languages.code ORDER BY Languages.code; 

Which yields 54 macrolanguages in 4645bis, zap (Zapotec) being the one
with the most extlangs, 58 (if we do not count the sign languages).

Am I correct? (Sorry for using the IETF for my e-learning but I prefer
to check before commenting.)
