Language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Human spoken and written languages can be described as a system of symbols (sometimes known as lexemes) and the grammars (rules) by which the symbols are manipulated. Human languages are usually referred to as natural languages, and the science studying them is linguistics. N.B.: one should be careful about the underlying classification principle for groups of languages which have apparently a geographical name: besides areal linguistic units, the taxa of the genetic classification (language families) are often given names which themselves or parts of which refer to geographical areas. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Language   (1792 words)

Greek Language Paper @ NaturalResearch.org (Natural Research) 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. Due to the membership of Greece and Cyprus in the European Union, Greek is one of the 20 official languages of the European Union. The language is spoken also in many other countries where Greeks have settled, including Armenia, Australia, Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Brazil, Canada, Denmark, France, Germany, Netherlands, Sweden, United Kingdom, and the United States. www.naturalresearch.org /encyclopedia/Greek_language   (1692 words)

CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Hebrew Language and Literature Hebrew belongs to the great Semitic family of languages, the geographical location of which is principally in South-Western Asia, extending from the Mediterranean to the mountains east of the valley of the Euphrates, and from the mountains of Armenia on the north to the southern extremity of the Arabian Peninsula. Hebrew was the language spoken by the ancient Israelites, and in which were composed nearly all of the books of the Old Testament. In connection with this problem scholars, assuming that some of the known Semitic languages were derived from others of the same family, have tried to discover their mutual relationships of parent stock and affiliation, to determine which was the mother tongue from which the others were derived. www.newadvent.org /cathen/07176a.htm   (5314 words)

The Cambridge Encyclopedia of Language (David Crystal) Part seven explores child language acquisition and part eight the relationship of the brain to language and language handicaps. Part nine surveys the variety of languages around the world, their distribution and their historical relationships, and part ten the varied roles language plays in different areas of human life. In smaller print we have boxes on the Genie case (language development of a neglected child), the classification of tongue slips, and the debate over "critical periods" in language development. dannyreviews.com /h/Language.html   (718 words)

Belarusian Review :: Kitabs, the Unique Phenomenon of the Belarusian Language in "Encyclopedia of the Belarusian language" And although they too have experienced the influence of Belarusian language, they could not possibly enter into the Belarusian language for that simple reason that those writings were essentially inaccessible for the Belarusian people: Belarusians neither had physical access to it, nor understood the writing system. They were written mostly in the 16th century by the Tatars who lived in Belarus, in the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, since 14-15th centuries and have gradually forgotten their native language.

Amazon.co.uk: The Cambridge Encyclopedia of Language: Books There is new material on acoustics, physiological concepts of language, and World English, and a complete update of the language distribution maps, language-speaking statistics, a table of the world's languages, and further reading. This second edition of The Cambridge Encyclopedia of Language presents a mass of new information and introduces the subject of language to a fresh generation of students and general readers. The is very good for A-Level students and it does convey the 'magic' and 'fascination' of linguistics and languages, but it will become too easy and shallow to help students with academic research. www.amazon.co.uk /exec/obidos/ASIN/0521559677   (916 words)

Breton language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Breton (Breton: Brezhoneg) is a Celtic language spoken by some of the inhabitants of Brittany (Breizh) and Loire-Atlantique (historically part of Brittany) in France.

Breton is not an official language of France, despite pleas from autonomists and others for official recognition and for the language to be guaranteed a place in schools, the media, and other aspects of public life. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Breton_language   (1532 words)

Eteocretan language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Eteocretan (i.e True Cretan) language is likely descended from Minoan and largely written in a Euboean-derived script that was the norm after the Hellenic Dark Ages, although Linear scripts did continue on side-by-side for some time afterwards in the form of a few tiny religious inscriptions. Cyrus Gordon, better known for his work on Ugaritic, argued that it was a Semitic language closely related to Phoenician, but his attempted decipherments have been proven to be inaccurate and have not been accepted by other linguists. A relationship with Luwian, an Anatolian language belonging to the Indoeuropean family, has also been suggested. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Eteocretan   (658 words)

Bosnian language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The irony of the Bosnian language is that its speakers are, on the level of colloquial idiom, more linguistically homogenous than either Serbs or Croats, but have failed, due to historical reasons, to standardize their language in the crucial 19th century. It is important to observe that the Dayton Peace Accord officially recognizes and specifies the Bosnian language as a distinct language spoken in Bosnia and Herzegovina by Bosniaks.
