		The main subfamilies of Afro-Asiatic are the Semitic languages, the Cushitic languages, Berber, and the Chadic languages.
		The Nilotic languages, having expanded substantially with the Nilotic peoples in recent centuries, are a geographically widespread language family and have a large population.
		Language contact (resulting in borrowing) and, with regard to specific idioms and phrases, a similar cultural background have been put forward to account for some of the similarities.

		Main article: Niger-Congo languages The Niger-Congo language family is the largest group of Africa (and probably of the world) in terms of different languages.
		Some neighbouring Bantu languages (notably Xhosa and Zulu) have borrowed click sounds from the Khoi-San languages, as has the Cushitic language Dahalo; but only a single language, the Australian ritual language Damin, is reported to use clicks without them being a result of Khoi-San influence.
		Several African languages belong to non-African families: Malagasy is an Austronesian language, and Afrikaans is Indo-European, as is the lexifier of most African creoles.

		The Niger-Congo languages constitute one of the world's major language families, and Africa's largest in terms of geographical area, number of speakers, and number of distinct languages.
		In early classifications of African languages, one of the principal criteria used to distinguish different groupings was the languages' use of prefixes to classifiy nouns, or the lack thereof.
		Languages like this have nasal vowels accompanied with complementary distribution between oral and nasal consonants before oral and nasal vowels.

	FrostCloud Forums - A Biological Dig for the Roots of Language
		Languages change so fast, the linguists point out, that their genealogies can be traced back only a few thousand years at best before the signal dissolves completely into noise: witness how hard Chaucer is to read just 600 years later.
		The biologists' latest foray onto the linguists' turf is a reconstruction of the Indo-European family of languages by Dr. Russell D. Gray, an evolutionary biologist at the University of Auckland in New Zealand.
		What the daughter languages of proto-Indo-European inherited, he says, was not necessarily the word for wheel but the word "k'el," meaning "to rotate," from which each language may independently have derived its word for wheel.

	Language isolate (via CobWeb/3.1 planetlab1.isi.jhu.edu) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-02)
		A language isolate is a natural language with no demonstrable genetic relationship with other living languages; that is, one that has not been proved to descend from a common ancestor to any other language.
		Language isolates may be seen as a special case of unclassified languages, being languages which remain unclassified even after extensive efforts.
		The term "genetic relationship" is meant in the sense of historical linguistics, which claims that almost all languages spoken in the world today can be grouped by derivation from common ancestral languages into a relatively small number of families.

		It should be noted that if some of these languages imported the English word to use it as a greeting on attending the telephone, several others have their own specific origin for the word, as with Portuguese language "olá" and Spanish "hola", both probably of Arabic language origin, German language "hallo" and Hungarian language "hallom".
		In order to judge if a language is endangered, the number of speakers is less important than the age distribution; there may be 500,000 speakers of the Breton language over 50 years of age, but fewer than 2,000 under 25 years of age - it is likely Breton will die out in the next half-century.
		On the other hand, while there are 30,000 Ladin language speakers left, almost all children still learn it as their mother tongue, thus Ladin is not endangered in the 21st century.

		Ubangian languages, while nearly as numerous, are somewhat better studied; one in particular, Sango, has (in creolized form) become a major trade language of central Africa.
		Adamawa-Ubangi languages often have partial vowel harmony, involving restrictions on the co-occurrence of vowels in a word.

	Abstracts
		For this project I am going to gather language samples from 32 young speakers of the Frisian language in order to make an outline of the course the acquisition of morphology and syntax runs during the early years of language development (1-11 to 5-11 years of age).
		An important question for second language acquisition research is to what extent language learners use a specialized language module, and to what degree they rely on more general cognitive strategies in processing a second language.
		This could allow a German speaker of Dutch to either have access to a specialized language module as there is already a mechanism set up for the processing of gender or to use a more general cognitive strategy of using the gender from their first language in order to solve the L2 problem.

	Amir Khusrau - Soul Music
		The basis of ghazal lies in Persian poetry, though the language was changed to Urdu and Hindavi during the 13th century, when it became the accepted language of the courts.
		Amir Khusrau was successfully tutored by his maternal grandfather after his father’s death and throughout his career he was regarded as a scholar, intellectual, poet, a singer and a prose writer all at once.
		It was at the age of eight that his mother took him to the khanqah (school, residence) of Hazrat Nizamuddin to be inducted into his spiritual group.

		The module, which is currently in the process of being designed and implemented, uses a hybrid example-based approach to disambiguate between various possible meanings of phrasal verbs, while at the same time generating a parse tree for the input sentence(s) that may be utilized for further translation.
		The module outputs Hindi equivalents of the detected phrasal verb, but the disambiguation methodology is generic and the target language may be changed with minimal effort.
		An approach to phrasal verbs in the Danish language, as used in the SIMPLE system [8], classifies phrasal verbs as compositional and non-compositional; the former being those in which the verb and particle retain their core meaning and the latter being those in which this is not the case.

		Hindi sounds more refined than some of the languages, and Urdu is way more sophisticated than Hindi, and I have a feeling that Persian must be some sort of a culmination of this genre of languages.
		Of course the simpler or coarser languages have their own charm, Bhojpuri - the village dialect spoken in the north is one of my favorite Indian languages.
		Teenagers in NY (or even elsewhere these days) are not really exposed to them, (in whichever language they may be), I think some will agree with me on this one.
