	Latvian language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Eastern Baltic languages split from the Western Baltic ones (or, perhaps, from the hypothetic proto-Baltic language) between 400 and 600.
		The closest ties the Baltic languages have are with the Slavic and Germanic languages.
		Latvian is an inflective language with several analytical forms, and German syntactical influence.

		The study of language is a division of the general science of anthropology (q.v.), and is akin to all the rest in respect to its Relation to objects and its methods.
		Even nearly related languages differ as much in their spoken alphabets and the combinations of sounds they admit, and in their uttered forms of words historically the same, as in any other part; and the same is true of local dialects and of class dialects within the same community.
		They are languages of roots: that is to say, there is not demonstrable in any of their words a formative part, limiting the word, along with others similarly characterized, to a certain office or set of offices in the formation of the sentence.

		Language: An Introduction to the Study of Speech.
		If by an “agglutinative” language we mean one that affixes according to the juxtaposing technique, then we can only say that there are hundreds of fusing and symbolic languages—non-agglutinative by definition—that are, for all that, quite alien in spirit to the inflective type of Latin and Greek.
		We can call such languages inflective, if we like, but we must then be prepared to revise radically our notion of inflective form.

	Chapter 6. Types of Linguistic Structure. Edward Sapir. 1921. Language: An Introduction to the Study of Speech
		Aside from the expression of pure relation a language may, of course, be “formless”—formless, that is, in the mechanical and rather superficial sense that it is not encumbered by the use of non-radical elements.
		Those languages that always identify the word with the radical element would be set off as an “isolating” group against such as either affix modifying elements (affixing languages) or possess the power to change the significance of the radical element by internal changes (reduplication; vocalic and consonantal change; changes in quantity, stress, and pitch).
		Languages are in constant process of change, but it is only reasonable to suppose that they tend to preserve longest what is most fundamental in their structure.

		Moreover, the historical study of language has proven to us beyond all doubt that a language changes not only gradually but consistently, that it moves unconsciously from one type towards another, and that analogous trends are observable in remote quarters of the globe.
		Aside from the expression of pure relation a language may, of course, be "formless"-formliess, that is, in the mechanical and rather superficial sense that it is not encumbered by the use of non-radical elements.
		In the isolating languages the syntactic relations are ex pressed by the position of the words in the sentence This is also true of many languages of type B, the terns "agglutinative," "fusional," and "symbolic" applying in their case merely to tine treatment of the derivational, not the relational, concepts.

	Sapir, Edward. 1921. Language: An Introduction to the Study of Speech
		The noted linguist and anthropologist Edward Sapir wrote this work to show language in “relation to other fundamental interests—the problem of thought, the nature of the historical process, race, culture, art.” Language is not only a study of language and culture, but ultimately on the world of relations and influence.
		Language a cultural, not a biologically inherited, function.
		Language as the material or medium of literature.

	The People of Bergonia
		The Faroile languages are distantly related to Minidun, but after thousands of years of separate evolution, Minidun and the Faroile languages have little in common.
		In a country with one main language, like the U.S. or Argentina, immigrants get more advantage out of abandoning their native language, but in a multilingual culture like Bergonia, the pressure is less, and so many of the immigrants typically retain their native languages for at least three generations.
		This reflects the truth that foreign languages are most easily learned in childhood-- it is rather stupid for a school system to commence foreign language instruction years after the capacity to learn language has peaked.

		Greek is a synthetic, inflective language, so the variations are more elaborate than in English, but the difference is just one of grammatical structure.
		To underscore: the main purpose here of language is not in communication, but as an essential cognitive tool, and if the structure does not fit that purpose it simply will not evolve.
		Where specific languages differ is in their "efficiency" in formulating a given statement, so that in Saami, the one word chuoivvat expresses the idea "yellowish-brown reindeer".

		While much is known about parsing English text, it is easy to see that parsing a highly inflective language or a free word order language such as Czech adds a new dimension of difficulty.
		The inflective nature mean that the vocabulary as seen by a computer appears huge, because each inflectional form is a distinct word.
		The techniques developed here for Czech newspaper text are expected to be useful for Polish, Russian, Serbo-Croatian and other Slavic languages, and for languages such as Spanish, German and Italian which exhibit inflectional and free word order behavior to smaller degrees.
