Comparative linguistics is a branch of history linguistics that is concerned on comparing languages to establish historical relatedness. It implies a common origin.
The Journal of Comparative Germanic Linguistics was created in 1997.
Some different styles in linguistics include descriptive linguistics, which focuses on analyzing and describing how language is used in a particular speech community, and theoretical linguistics, which seeks to develop models and theories to explain and understand language structures and patterns. Other styles include applied linguistics, which looks at how linguistic theories can be applied to real-world issues such as language teaching and translation, and sociolinguistics, which examines the relationship between language and society.

Comparative linguistics focuses on studying the similarities and differences between languages to understand their historical relationships and structural features. On the other hand, applied linguistics uses linguistic theories to address real-world issues, such as language teaching, language policy, and language planning, with the goal of solving practical problems in society.
