	Reference for Tai-Kadai languages - Search.com
		The Tai-Kadai languages, also known as Kadai or Kradai, are a tonal language family found in Southeast Asia and southern China.
		Rather, he suggests that the Kadai languages may be a branch of Austronesian that migrated from the Philippines to Hainan, and from there spread to mainland China, where the Daic branch of Kadai was "radically restructured" under the influence of the Hmong-Mien languages and Chinese.
		Sagart also suggests that the Austronesian language family (of which he claims proto-Tai-Kadai is one subgroup) is ultimately related to the Sino-Tibetan languages and probably has its origin in a Neolithic community of the coastal regions of prehistoric North China or East China.

	Austronesian languages - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Austronesian languages are a language family widely dispersed throughout the islands of Southeast Asia and the Pacific, with a few members spoken on continental Asia.
		Austronesian is one of the largest language families in the world, both in terms of number of languages (1268 according to Ethnologue) and in terms of the geographical extent of the homelands of its languages (from Madagascar to Easter Island).
		On this island the deepest divisions in Austronesian are found, among the families of the native Formosan languages; none of the mainland languages have survived.

	Features- Linguistic matrix in Manipur
		Language has immense social and political implications, and coercion by the dominant community to impose their language could invite political turmoil.
		The languages of the dominant non-tribals are being forcibly imposed upon the minority tribals, for instance, Assamese in Assam, Bengali in Tripura and Meiteilon or Manipuri in Manipur state.
		The language problem in Manipur began during the early 1980s when the state government tried to introduce Meiteilon as a compulsory subject in class X. But the issue was settled by keeping Meiteilon as an option for the tribal in lieu of additional English or state’s recognized tribal languages.

	Hmong-Mien languages - (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The Hmong-Mien or Miao-Yao languages are a small language family of southern China and Southeast Asia.
		Earlier linguistic classifications placed the Hmong-Mien languages into the Sino-Tibetan language family, where they remain in many Chinese classifications, but the current consensus among Western linguists is that they constitute a family of their own.
		The current languages would be the only branch of that family to have survived, as if the Indoeuropean languages were represented today only by Celtic.

		The Austronesian languages are a family of languages widely dispersed throughout the islands of Southeast Asia and the Pacific, with a few members spoken on continental Asia.
		The Malayo-Polynesian languages tend to use reduplication (repetition of all or part of a word - such as wiki-wiki), and have highly restrictive phonotactics, with small numbers of phonemes and predominantly consonant-vowel syllables, so that texts are quite repetitive in terms of the frequency of sounds.
		However, it is clear that the greatest genealogical diversity is found among the Formosan languages of Taiwan, and the least among the islands of the Pacific, supporting a dispersal of the family from Taiwan.

		Materials on Austroasiatic languages are in general extremely difficult to access, and for this reason the bibliography includes abstracts, and occasionally quotes the entire relevant contents, of the works cited.

	Language Shifts among the Scheduled Tribes in India
		The present work attempts to identify spatial patterns of the extent and nature of language shifts among the tribal population in India.
		The study rejects the claim that language shift indicates the process of integration - rather it shows the process of assimilation of the tribal people into the majority culture group.
		The study emphasises the need of promoting and preserving the tribal languages as these are cultural heritage of India.

	Feature
		Indeed, language assimilation at various interaction levels has been a characteristic feature of a multi-ethnic region that the North-East is. But the advocacy of a single language for homogeneity or cohesiveness classification has been challenged.
		It is not only different languages of a single family but also languages of different families which are spoken in different States of this region as each state in the region is multilingual complex rather than a linguistically homogenous unit.
		Under the prevailing situation the tribal communities are encouraged to speak the dominant language with the result that fewer people are using their tribal languages or dialects.

	Reference for Austronesian languages - Search.com
		The Austronesian languages are a language family widely dispersed throughout the islands of Southeast Asia and the Pacific, with a few members spoken on continental Asia.
		The internal structure of the Austronesian languages is difficult to work out, as the family consists of many very similar and very closely related languages with large numbers of dialect continua, making it difficult to recognize boundaries between branches.
		The Austronesian language family is established by the linguistic Comparative method on the basis of cognate sets, sets of words similar in sound and meaning which can be shown to be descended from the same ancestral word in Proto-Austronesian according to regular rules.

		Although many of his claims could not be supported, given our greater knowledge of the families involved, a careful re-examination of the morphology of the two language families, especially that found in Nicobarese, an isolated Mon-Khmer language, strongly suggest that there does in fact exist a genetic relationship between the two families.

		The lexical data evidentiating these comparisons and the accompanying lexical reconstructions (proto-forms) had to be kept at a minimum level in the published articles due to space limitations.
		This data should also help bolster the writer's case that Austric is a viable taxonomic entity comprising the AA and AN language families.
		The AA reconstruction essayed by the writer is based primarily on a high-level comparison of modern AA lexical data with the AN proto-forms reconstructed by Otto Dempwolff and his successors.

	[Fonts]Unicode coverage for languages
		I've decided that using RFC 3066 to indicate font language coverage is a good idea (or at least the best idea).
		Now matching can take place using the language tags; a font supporting the language for a different country will match "less strongly" than a font matching the language for the correct country.
		To generate language coverage for a font, I need to know what Unicode coverage is required for each language.
