	Language
		Language families can be divided into smaller phylogenetic units, conventionally referred to as branches of the family, because the history of a language family is often represented as a tree diagram.
		Languages that cannot be reliably classified into any family are known as language isolates.
		A language isolated in its own branch within a family, such as Greek within Indo-European, is often also called an isolate, but such cases are usually clarified.

		Dictionaries don’t make language, people like the term, it’s silly to think that people wouldn’t be buying potatoes because of the term, etc. etc.
		Burridge seems to be a maven in support of “bad language,” as the NZH headline rather dumbly puts it - in addition to the apostrophe mission, she wants to get rid of euphemisms and valorize cant.
		The article is unclear as to when exactly Burridge called for getting rid of the apostrophe, but this blog entry at Catallaxy and this article in The Age would indicate that it was in her book Blooming English, which came out in 2002.

	The Declarer (Floyd McWilliams' Blog)
		Umlauts are used in several languages, such as Icelandic, German, Swedish, Finnish, Hungarian, and Turkish; the sounds represented by the umlauted letters in these languages are front vowels (front rounded vowels in the case of ü and ö).
		Ironically, these sounds tend to be perceived as "weaker" or "lighter" than the vowels represented by un-umlautted "u", "o", and "a", thus failing to create the intended impression of strength and darkness.
		This is a construction only found in the Jacaltec language of Guatemala, although it is unlikely that the writers of This Is Spin?al Tap knew this at the time.

		This view fails to match the epigraphic evidence.
		The Olmec people spoke a Manding "Malinke-Bambara" language and not Zoquean.

		French and many other Romance languages use the diaeresis mark to make clear that a vowel is to pronounced on its own, when normal pronunciation rules would demand they be treated as silent or part of a diphtong.

		Not all languages distinguish adjectives from nouns and/ or verbs, and not all languages use morphological marking to the same extent, so to make the assignment approximately even for all students.
		Other information -Indicate what other information (if any) is marked on verbs (e.g., in Jacaltec, directional are marked on the verb).
		Agreement -If the language has a category of adjectives, are the adjectives marked morphologically with any categories of the nouns they modify (i.e., do they agree with the modified nouns in case, number, gender, and noun class?)?

		This is a decorative use of linguistic symbols that I never really thought much about (though I often think about the not unrelated “Cöven” of American Movie).
