Warbler
Various Passeriformes (perching birds) are commonly referred to as warblers. They are not necessarily closely related to one another, but share some characteristics, such as being fairly small, vocal, and insectivorous.
Sylvioid warblers
These are somewhat more closely related to each other than to other warblers. They belong to a superfamily also containing Old World babblers, bulbuls, etc.
- "Old World warblers", formerly all in family Sylviidae
- Leaf warblers, now in family Phylloscopidae
- Typical bush warblers, now in family Cettiidae
- Grass warblers and megalurid bush-warblers, now in family Locustellidae
- Marsh and tree warblers, now in family Acrocephalidae
- True warblers or sylviid warblers, remaining in family Sylviidae or moved into the Timaliidae
- Malagasy warblers, the newly assembled family Bernieridae
- Cisticolid warblers, family Cisticolidae
Passeroid warblers
The two families of American warblers are part of another superfamily, which unites them with sparrows, buntings, finches, etc.
- Olive warbler, monotypic family Peucedramidae
- New World warblers, family Parulidae
Other
- Tit-warblers or flycatcher-tits, family Stenostiridae
These are closely related to the titmice and chickadees
- Australasian warblers, family Acanthizidae
These are the most distinct group of warblers. They are not closely related at all to the others, but rather to the honeyeaters and fairy-wrens.

gollark: You're basically entirely reliant on your device manufacturer *and* whoever supplies them continuing to exist and being nice to you. I think there are still a bunch of *remotely exploitable* vulnerabilities in the wireless stack present on a bunch of phones because nobody has ever bothered to patch them.
gollark: So if you do compile it you'll still be stuck with possible horrible security issues, due to not actually getting any driver updates.
gollark: They generally just take one outdated kernel version, patch in the code they need, ship it, and then never update it, instead of "upstreaming" the drivers so they'll be incorporated in the official Linux source code.
gollark: You know how I said that companies were obligated to release the source code to the kernel on their device? Some just blatantly ignore that (*cough*MediaTek*cough*). And when it *is* there, it's actually quite bad.
gollark: It's actually worse than *just* that though, because of course.
