The above-mentioned types of typology Branches are distinguished according to the levels of language hierarchy:

Comparative Typology is the branch of General Linguistics, it compares two or more language systems, their categories in a deductive way and it makes general linguistic rules and laws.
As for theclassification of Comparative Typology, we must underline that there are different viewpoints to this problem. But the most sutable is Dr. Buranov‘s classification, who suggested the following three criteria:

1. Branches of Comparative Typology as to the object of investigation:

Structural typology in its turn consists of the following types: typological theory; typological classification; etalon language; language universals.
Genetic typology is a branch of ComparativeTypology, which studies the simi- larities, and diversities of originally related languages. Genetic typology developed from the Comparative-historical linguistics that dominated during the 19th century in Europe. It started with the works of Jacob Grimm, Franz Bopp, Rasmus Rask, Alexander Vbstokov, V.M. Jirmunskiy, etc.
Its origin was stipulated by thediscovery of Sanskrit, the ancient classical language of India. The discovery of Sanskrit disclosed the possibility of a comparative study of languages. The concept of relative languages was confirmed by the existence in India of a sisterhood of familiar European languages: e.g. Sanskrit «mata» means «mother», in the accusative case «matarum». Dvau-two, Trayah – three. As ti - he is, etc.
