	Diaspora language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The term diaspora language, coined in the 1980s, is a sociolinguistic idea referring to a variety of language spoken in a place of migration.
		Considered an endangered language, Molise Slavic is spoken by approximately 3,500 people in the villages of Montemitro, San Felice del Molise, and Acquaviva-Collecroce in southern Molise, as well as elsewhere in southern Italy.
		The language developed as a result of refugees arriving in Italy from the eastern Adriatic coast during the 15th and 16th centuries.

	Jew - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In the Diaspora, in almost every country the Jewish population in general is either declining or steady, but Orthodox and Haredi Jewish communities, whose members often shun birth control for religious reasons, have experienced rapid population growth, with rates near 4% per year for Haredi Jews in Israel, and similar rates in other countries.
		Hebrew is the liturgical language of Judaism (termed lashon ha-kodesh, "the holy tongue"), and is the language of the State of Israel.
		The 2,000 year dispersion of the Jewish diaspora beginning under the Roman Empire, as Jews were spread throughout the Roman world and, driven from land to land, and settled wherever they could live freely enough to practice their religion.

	History of the Tamil Diaspora
		Diaspora is the dispersal or the scattering of persons with common identity such as culture and language in different directions.
		Their passion for and the love of their language and culture which has a cherished heritage is the one that binds the Tamil diaspora world wide and their coherence and unity is fast growing to be recognized as an international force.
		As much as the diaspora love their origins and roots to the lands of their birth and that of their ancestors, there is one core element; a vital bond that holds together the diaspora of Tamils spread across the globe.

	Fishstein Catalogue
		A diaspora language is written in Hebrew characters, with which most Jews were familiar, and was created to meet the special needs of their particular way of life.
		A fusion language, that absorbed and adapted words from other languages, Yiddish developed into a unique, fluid, zesty tongue which was an expression of the Ashkenazi way of life, of Jewish ethics and values.
		The status of the language, as the twentieth century approached, was still considered suspect by many intellectuals, who often referred to it as the jargon of the common people.

	Language Ecology Course Proposal
		Since language is the primary medium through which a society articulates its culture and history, and provides the cognitive structure through which its people apprehend their world, language death on this new scale has consequences that transcend all parochial boundaries.
		Language ideologies have a basic impact on language ecology, by altering the degree to which speaking populations strive to reinforce, expand, or abandon use of given languages, with an array of associated changes in the form and social life of the languages.
		Language is fundamental to human cognition, and the dynamics studied in language ecology are consequent on the cognitive dimensions of speech, practical reasoning, and thinking for speaking (Slobin 1987, 1991).

	A New Look at Tongues, by Robert Zerhusen
		If the ordinary languages of the speakers (i.e., the disciples of Jesus in Acts 2) were Aramaic and Greek, and if the speakers were uttering languages they had never learned before (i.e., a linguistic miracle was occurring), then the speakers could not have been speaking in their ordinary languages (i.e., Aramaic and Greek).
		According to Kaplan, Hebrew was retained as "the language of worship," in contrast to the "foreign vernacular" used "in the home and in the street." Hebrew had declined as the native language of the Judeans but continued to serve as the religious language of Judaism.
		Martin Hengel recognized that Hebrew was the H language, with Aramaic and Greek as the L languages: "While Aramaic was the vernacular of ordinary people, and Hebrew the sacred language of religious worship and of scribal discussion, Greek had largely become established as the linguistic medium for trade, commerce, and administration" (1989: 8).

	Tamil Diaspora - Singapore - சிங்கப்பூர்
		German-American church denominations tried to maintain the German language through the establishment of German-language schools for their parishioners’ children, and requests from congregations to deal with the fact that many younger members (known in German as die Nachkömmlinge) were becoming English speakers, were denied, ignored, or stonewalled.
		Language use cannot be mandated, and there are many examples of well-intentioned revitalisation policies that have failed to produce any results, because of their top-down perspective, which ignored the role of actors.
		Tamils are the largest of the language groups that form the `Indian' minority in Malaysia and Singapore, constituting around 9% of the population, or 1.5 million in the former, and about 7% or 190,000, in Singapore.

	EPC \| Myung Mi Kim \| Zhou Xiaojing
		Interweaving her investigation of language with an exploration of collective memory and history, Kim examines what she refers to as "the questions of translation between cultures and languages and in particular the kinds of resemblances and contaminations that inform how language(s) systematize and engender notions of power" (Lee 94).
		She employs what might be called a language of diaspora, whose other-sounding music transforms the prosodic structure of traditional English lyric, making the English language "shift," putting it "to flight," to borrow Gilles Deleuze and Claire Parnet's terms and concept (58).
		With these departures in her use of language and form, Kim is able to investigate "what it means to find a connection between poetry and the world," as she says in an interview with Yedda Morrison (Morrison 77).

	Tamil Virtual University Report by Patrick Harrigan
		It has become clearly evident to the Tamil diaspora that each successive generation is becoming more out of touch with its mother culture and mother tongue such that within only a couple of generations diaspora Tamil children are growing up without ever learning to speak or read Tamil language.
		The author, an American-born student of Tamil language and culture, has studied Tamil and three other Indian languages at three leading American universities (U-Michigan, Berkeley and Cornell) since 1974; since 1996 he has been attached to the Institute of Asian Studies, Chennai, as its head of multimedia.

	The Hmong Tragedy: The Hmongs in the United States, their Origins in Laos, and the Future
		The Hmong language group is a monosyllabic, tonal language (7-12 tones, depending on the dialect), with features that may make it an important bridge (according to some people) between Thai, Burmese, Chinese, and other Austro-Asian languages.
		The written language is said by some to have been eradicated over centuries of persecution in China (though it is not certain that there ever was a unique written language for Hmong).
		The language is a great barrier to the elderly, many of whom have had no schooling and had no reading skills prior to coming to the U.S. Simple things like going to a store or walking through town can be terrifying experiences for the elderly.

		The aim of the seminar was to bring together researchers into the Indic languages in Britain, in order to examine three themes: language change in the Indic languages, literacies and literacy practices among Indic language speakers, and educational and resources issues.
		The goal is to collect a corpus of 86 million words in 14 Indic languages, and to develop standardised fonts using UNICODE. Andrew Hardie (University of Lancaster) described his work on a part-of-speech tagset devised for Urdu using a modified version of the EAGLES standards for Western European languages.
		The expertise of community members on EMAG teams was sometimes overlooked, leading to a sense of marginalisation, and she declared a need for more researchers who share the background of the researched community.
