	Greek language - Information at Halfvalue.com
		Two main forms of the language have been in use since the end of the medieval Greek period: DhimotikÃ (Î”Î·Î¼Î¿ÏÎ¹ÎºÎ®), the Demotic (vernacular) language, and KatharÃ©vusa (ÎÎ±Î¸Î±ÏÎµÏÎ¿ÏÏÎ±), an imitation of classical Greek, which was used for literary, juridic, administrative and scientific purposes during the 19th and early 20th centuries.
		Due to the language's flexibility in forming compounds and derived words, the infinitive of verbs was gradually and successfully replaced by a periphrastic subjunctive and derived nouns.
		The ancient languages which were probably most closely related to it, ancient Macedonian (which may have been a dialect of Greek) and Phrygian, are not well enough documented to permit detailed comparison.

	Georgian language at AllExperts
		Georgian is the primary language of about 3.9 million people in Georgia itself (83 percent of the population), and of another 200,000 abroad (chiefly in Turkey, Iran, Russia, USA and Europe).
		Georgian is the most important of the South Caucasian languages, a family that also includes Svan and Megrelian (chiefly spoken in Northwest Georgia) and Laz (chiefly spoken along the Black Sea coast of Turkey, from Melyat, Rize to the Georgian frontier).
		An interesting feature of Georgian is that, while in almost all other languages the subject of a sentence is always in the nominative case, and the object is in the accusative case (or dative), in Georgian, one can find this reversed in many situations (this depends mainly on the character of the verb).

	Historical Notes: Languages
		In expressing general human issues, different human languages tend to be largely equivalent - though they often differ when it comes to matters of special cultural or environmental interest to their users.
		Computer languages are also mostly equivalent in their handling of general programming issues - and indeed among widespread languages the only substantial exception is Mathematica, which supports symbolic, functional and pattern-based as well as procedural programming.
		But in any given language there are always many exceptions, and in the end it has proved essentially impossible to identify specific detailed features - beyond for example the existence of nouns and verbs - that are convincingly universal across more than just languages with clear historical connections (such as the Indo-European ones).

		There are roughly 6,000 languages in use in the world today, most of them spoken by a tiny number of people-further proof of humanity's ability to generate intoxicating variety.
		Abley also sometimes conflates the extinction of a language with that of the people who speak it; however, his contention rings true that the disappearance of these languages represents "a loss beyond estimation." This generous, sorrow-tinged book is an informative and eloquent reminder of a richness that may not exist much longer.
		Many traditional languages have in common that they are more complicated in their grammar than modern ones.
