	LINGUIST List 6.1334: English Numerals, Language and Dialect
		This is that the forms of these numerals are one of the most important Germanic/Baltic isoglosses: 1, 2 + a reflex of the PIE root */lVikw-/ 'leave' (as in Gr leipo, L li-n-quo, etc.).
		In popular language, "vernacular" generally means an informal way of speaking, and may include any "dirty words" and SLANG (the next term to be discussed).
		In language engineering the problem comes up in the guise of decision whether to create another standard for a previously unwritten "language", or to teach children to read a previously established standard which was created from other speech varieties which are very close to the problem variety.

	Hindi
		In the meantime, the language of the indigenous population remained relatively free of borrowings from Persian and Arabic, and instead borrowed words and literary conventions from Sanskrit.
		Proponents of English, on the other hand, argue that the use of Hindi is unfair because it disadvantages those who have to learn it as a second language.
		Hindi is a Category II languages in terms of difficulty for speakers of English.

	Language Log: One, two, many -- or 'small size', 'large size', 'cause to come together'?
		The first small problem with the Reuters article is that the usual spelling for the language is "Pirahã", with a tilde over the final /a/, indicating that the vowel is nasalized.
		At the same time, their language does have a distinction between count and mass nouns, so that there is the equivalent of the English difference between "{many/much foreigners}" and "{many/much manioc meal".
		Results of numerical tasks with varying cognitive demands show that numerical cognition is clearly affected by the lack of a counting system in the language.

	The Austronesian (Malayo-Polynesian) Language Family
		Austronesian is one of the largest language families in the world, both in terms of the number of languages (1244) and in terms of its geographical extent.
		These languages are widely spoken and understood as native or as second languages in their respective countries.
		It is worth noting that many of the languages included in the Austronesian family have only a handful of speakers each, especially in Melanesia, where the average is roughly one language for every 1,500 people.

	Language Log: The Straight Ones: Dan Everett on the Pirahã
		I was co-editor of the volume in which the first full description of the Pirahand#227; language appeared (Desmond C. Derbyshire and Geoffrey K. Pullum, eds., Handbook of Amazonian Languages, Volume 1, Mouton de Gruyter, Berlin, 1986).
		There have of course been anthropological hoaxes in the past; think of the Tasaday, thought to be an isolated group of stone-age survivals until their language was shown to share 85% of its vocabulary with Cotabato Manobo and its members were discovered to have been manipulated into play-acting by a Filipino official.
		A rough English translation is 'the straight one[s]'.) I have lived in all their villages for an aggregate time now approaching 7 years.

	Old English Language Grammar by Cyril Babaev
		In Altaic languages, and also in Korean and Japanese, which are originally Altaic, the adjective plays the part of the predicate, and in Korean, for example, the majority of adjectives are predicative.
		Later Germanic languages changed the sound in a different way: in Norwegian it remained as hv, in German turned into w (as in wer 'who', was 'what'), in English finally changed into wh pronounced in most cases [w], but somewhere also like [h] or [hw].
		It is obvious that all Indo-European languages have the general trend of transformation from the synthetic (or inflectional) stage to the analytic one.

	Ruby Quiz - English Numerals (#25)
		All the solutions took advantage of this repetition, though I'd given irregular examples such as 'twelve hundred' or using 'and' to separate the final tens and ones from the rest of the number.
		His general method was to convert the number to a string and split off the initial clause, generate the English form of that with a degree suffix and concatenate the result of a recursive call on the remaining part of the number.
		A spirited defense of the purity of the English language.

	Ukrainian Tutorial
		The Ukrainian language bears the distinctive characteristics of the majority of Slavic languages, especially their Eastern branch, like three genders, seven cases, absence of articles and free word order.
		Since that time and until the Soviet reign the Russian government issued barely 20 laws to forbid the usage of the Ukrainian language at schools, theatres, establishments.
		This was made to forge one Eastern-Slavic nation with one language and one identity.

		So that all of the accented letters of the European languages have their own code (Ő is 0150), but Native American symbols, like Guaraní g̃ have to be made up from two codes, 0067 (g) and 0303 (combining ~) or Dene Ų̀.
		Several languages have yet to be encoded, and others are not going to be, like many fictional constructed languages.
		The most pressing problem is that in some languages such as Dene, there is a big difference between the finals at the middle of the line and those at the top.

		On the contrary, they are based on the premises that students are expected to attain the same high level English language arts and non-language content standards as native English-speaking students.
		The ESOL standards have been developed to include those English language skills that LEP students have not yet acquired but that are characteristic of native-English-speakers of the same age and, most importantly, are fundamental to the full attainment of English language arts and other non-language standards.
		It should not matter which kind of ESOL instructional program model is being implemented to deliver the language arts content, as long as the LEP student is being taught language arts using the strategies germane to his/her language proficiency level, and as long as he/she has been placed in the appropriate grade level.

	Inutilities In The English Language
		This critic challenges my contention that English verbs and pronouns are needlessly complicated, arguing, in effect, that the idle intricacies of the English language have made England and India more prosperous than France and Germany.
		It probably took ages to convert from Roman numerals to Arabic numerals, and it seems to be taking forever to convert to the metric system.
		And a very noticeable fact is that the English language could stand reform.

	Reviews: Shorter Oxford English Dictionary
		Long before the monumental Oxford English Dictionary was completed, the need for a condensed version had already been recognised—2002 is in one way the centenary of the Shorter OED, as work on it began in 1902, though its first edition came out only in 1933.
		As you would expect from an extraction of the essence of the OED, it is firmly based on historical principles, so dealing with the development of the language over time, rather than being a snapshot of the language as it is today.
		The growth in English vocabulary in the past decade means many new words have been added (about 3500 altogether), connected with politics, biotechnology, electronics, telecommunications, the Internet, and other fields.
