	English language (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		English is descended from the language spoken by Germanic tribes that migrated from what is now northern Germany (and partially Denmark) to the land that would become known as England.
		English is also one of the primary languages of Belize (with Spanish), Canada (with French), India (with Hindi and 21 Other state languages), Ireland (with Irish), Singapore (with Malay, Mandarin, Tamil and Other Asian languages) and South Africa (along with Zulu, Xhosa, Afrikaans, and Northern Sotho).
		English is the most widely used "second" and "learning" language in the world, and as such, many linguists believe, it is no longer the exclusive cultural emblem of "native English speakers," but rather a language that is absorbing aspects of cultures worldwide as it grows in use.

	Etymology of Selected Words of Indian Language Origin
		However words were rarely substituted to English words, as it happened during Old English and Middle English periods, with Latin and French words.
		The words that came from South Indian languages meanwhile took the exact opposite course, with 't' and 'd', being pronounced softly or not at all: as in cheroot (Tamil churuttu/shuruttu).
		This word was probably absorbed to Portuguese, when the Portuguese ruled over Goa, Bombay during the early part of the 17th century, and from Portuguese was absorbed to English.

	PERSIAN ORIGINS OF ANGLO-SAXON WORDS - (The Circle of Ancient Iranian Studies - CAIS)©
		Modern Persian can, therefore, be scarcely less unlike the original language of those, in his war, against whom the self-confident Julian found an early grave, instead of the victorious triumph he expected, than our present English is to the Anglo-Saxon of the same period.
		But before I attach the list of these, I will take the liberty also of mentioning, that I thought it right, after these similarities had been ascertained, to consider that two other languages, older than the modern Persian, had prevailed in that country.
		These one hundred and sixty-two Persian words, fifty-seven Zend, and forty-three Pehlvi, present to us two hundred and sixty-two words in the three languages that have prevailed in Persia, which have sufficient affinity with as many in the Anglo-Saxon to confirm the deduction of our earliest progenitors from these regions of ancient Asia.

	dsng.net - the daryl sng blog: English words that are borrowed from Cantonese
		Since my original post on English words that are borrowed from Malay was so popular, here's a much shorter list, that of English words that are borrowed from Cantonese.
		I'll exclude words like ginseng, kumquat, and lychee, which refer to unique objects that are clearly Chinese in origin, choosing instead to look at words that are not immediately apparently Cantonese.
		As for "ketchup", which was discussed by some commenters in my earlier post, this article makes an interesting point: when "ketchup" was borrowed into English in the 18th century, the English used it to refer to a sauce that had fish, but no tomato whatsoever, as the Online Etymology Dictionary entry for the word notes.

	Sociolinguistics Symposium 14
		How is the use of the Ukrainian, English and Russian languages as well as their positioning in visual space used in the Ukrainian cities of Kyiv and Lutsk to portray Russia as old and distant, "the Other;" while Europe is shown as new and "Us" (Yeliseyeva).
		The intention of this colloquium is to face the problem head-on by asking whether it might not be more fruitful to take first-order politeness not necessarily as the object of politeness theory but at least as the point from which new theoretical and methodological approaches to politeness should begin.

	LINGUIST List 9.622: Taste Words
		The Longman Dictionary of English Language and Culture has two meanings for this adjective: "pleasant or attractive in taste" (xian1mei3?), and the Briish English "(of a dish) having the taste of meat, cheese, vegetables, salt, etc., without sugar - opposite sweet".
		And of course there are tastes of characteristic local foods (like, say, durian) that can't be described in another language except very indirectly (Raffles said of the durian: the taste of heaven and the stench of hell).
		It would be useful if people who give examples of tase words could suggest at the same time some typical things that are agreed to have that taste.
