Also known as language typology, typology of languages, language classification, classification of languages
academic discipline categorizing languages
Linguistic typology is the study of how languages around the world can be organized into categories based on their shared structural features, such as word order or how they form grammatical relationships. It matters because it helps linguists understand the fundamental patterns and constraints in how human languages work, and reveals what kinds of language structures are common, rare, or even impossible.
