The '''buntings''' are a group of [[Old World]] [[passerine]] birds forming the [[genus]] '''''Emberiza''''', the only genus in the [[Family (biology)|family]] '''Emberizidae'''. The family contains 44 species. They are [[seed]]-eating birds with stubby, conical bills.

==Taxonomy==
The family Emberizidae was formerly much larger and included the species now placed in the [[Passerellidae]] (New World sparrows) and [[Calcariidae]] (longspurs and snow buntings). Molecular phylogenetic studies found that the large family consisted of distinct clades that were better treated as separate families.<ref>{{ cite journal | last1=Barker | first1=F.K. | last2=Burns | first2=K.J. | last3=Klicka | first3=J. | last4=Lanyon | first4=S.M. | last5=Lovette | first5=I.J. | year=2013 | title=Going to extremes: contrasting rates of diversification in a recent radiation of New World passerine birds | journal=Systematic Biology | volume=62 | issue=2 | pages=298–320 | doi=10.1093/sysbio/sys094 | pmid=23229025 | doi-access=free}}</ref><ref>{{ cite journal | last1=Barker | first1=F.K. | last2=Burns | first2=K.J. | last3=Klicka | first3=J. | last4=Lanyon | first4=S.M. | last5=Lovette | first5=I.J. | year=2015 | title=New insights into New World biogeography: An integrated view from the phylogeny of blackbirds, cardinals, sparrows, tanagers, warblers, and allies | journal=Auk | volume=132 | issue=2 | pages=333–346 | doi=10.1642/AUK-14-110.1 | doi-access=free }}</ref>

The [[genus]] ''Emberiza'' is now the only genus placed in the family Emberizidae.<ref name=ioc/> The genus was introduced by the Swedish naturalist [[Carl Linnaeus]] in 1758 in the [[10th edition of Systema Naturae|tenth edition]] of his ''[[Systema Naturae]]''.<ref>{{cite book | last=Linnaeus | first=Carl | author-link=Carl Linnaeus | year=1758 | title= Systema Naturae per regna tria naturae, secundum classes, ordines, genera, species, cum characteribus, differentiis, synonymis, locis | volume=1| edition=10th | page=176 | publisher=Holmiae:Laurentii Salvii | language=la | url= https://biodiversitylibrary.org/page/727083 }}</ref> The [[type species]] was subsequently designated as the [[yellowhammer]] (''Emberiza citrinella'').<ref>{{ cite book | editor-last=Paynter | editor-first=Raymond A.

A 2008 genetic study found that three emberizid species that were placed in their own [[monotypic]] genera clustered within the ''Emberiza''. These were the [[crested bunting]] (''Melophus lathami''), the [[slaty bunting]] (''Latouchiornis siemsseni''), and the [[corn bunting]] (''Miliaria calandra'').<ref>{{ cite journal | last1=Alström | first1=P. | last2=Olsson | first2=U. | last3=Lei | first3=F. | last4=Wang | first4=H. | last5=Gao | first5=W. | last6=Sundberg | first6=P. | year=2008 | title=Phylogeny and classification of the Old World Emberizini (Aves, Passeriformes) | journal=Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution | volume=47 | issue=3 | pages=960–973 | doi=10.1016/j.ympev.2007.12.007 | pmid=18411062 | bibcode=2008MolPE..47..960A }}</ref> All three species are now included in the genus ''Emberiza''.<ref name=ioc/>

A large DNA-based study of the passerines published in 2019 found that the buntings are most closely related to the longspurs and snow buntings in the family [[Calcariidae]].<ref name=oliveros>{{ cite journal | last1=Oliveros | first1=C.H. | display-authors=etal | year=2019 | title=Earth history and the passerine superradiation | journal=Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America | volume=116 | issue=16 | pages=7916–7925 | doi=10.1073/pnas.1813206116 | doi-access=free | pmid=30936315 | pmc=6475423 | bibcode=2019PNAS..116.7916O }}</ref>

Ornithologists [[Edward C. Dickinson|Edward Dickinson]] and [[Leslie Christidis]] in the fourth edition of the ''[[Howard and Moore Complete Checklist of the Birds of the World]]'' chose to split up ''Emberiza'' and recognise the genera ''Fringillaria'', ''Melophus'', ''Granativora'', ''Emberiza'', and ''Schoeniclus''.<ref>{{ cite book | editor-last1=Dickinson | editor-first1=E.C. | editor1-link=Edward C.

Species in the [[New World]] genus ''[[Passerina]]'' include the word "bunting" in their common names, but are now classed in the family [[Cardinalidae]].<ref>{{cite web| editor1-last=Gill | editor1-first=Frank | editor1-link=Frank Gill (ornithologist) | editor2-last=Donsker | editor2-first=David | year=2019 | title=Cardinals, grosbeaks and (tanager) allies | work=World Bird List Version 9.2 | url=https://www.worldbirdnames.org/bow/cardinals/ | publisher=International Ornithologists' Union | access-date=24 June 2019 }}</ref>

The family is divided into four major clades. The species in Clade I are mainly African while those in Clades II to IV are Palearctic:<ref name=cai>{{Cite journal | last1=Cai | first1=T. | last2=Wu | first2=G. | last3=Sun | first3=L. | last4=Zhang | first4=Y. | last5=Peng | first5=Z. | last6=Guo | first6=Y. | last7=Liu | first7=X. | last8=Pan | first8=T. | last9=Chang | first9=J. | last10=Sun | first10=Z. | last11=Zhang | first11=B. | title=Biogeography and diversification of Old World buntings (Aves: Emberizidae): radiation in open habitats | journal=Journal of Avian Biology | year=2021 | volume=52 | issue=6 | article-number=jav.02672 | doi=10.1111/jav.02672| s2cid=236608560 }}</ref>

The [[cladogram]] below is based on a study published in 2021. The phylogenetic relationships of two African species, the [[brown-rumped bunting]] (''Emberiza affinis'') and [[Vincent's bunting]] (''Emberiza vincenti''), were not determined.<ref name=cai/>
