It has been forty years since I sat in a junior-level class in Linguistic Anthropology but I think the taxonomy we used, updated in terms of the example provided, worked like this:
Kingdom: Human Language
Phylum: Indo-European
Family: Teutonic/Germanic
Subfamily: English
Language: American English
Dialect: Southern Californian
Subdialect: Valley Girl
