	Dialect - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Often, the standard language is close to the sociolect of the elite class.
		Romansh came to be a written language, and therefore it is recognized as a language, even though it is very close to the Lombardic alpine dialects.
		An opposite example is the case of the Chinese language whose variations are often considered dialects and not languages despite their mutual unintelligibility because they share a common literary standard and common body of literature.

	List of languages by number of native speakers - Wikipedia
		Only languages spoken natively by more than one million are listed, and then they are listed for secondary locations only when spoken by more than 1% of the population.
		For practical reasons in compiling this list, some listings are not single languages in the sense of being mutually intelligible, such as Chinese or Arabic; while in other cases mutually intelligible idioms with separate national standards or self identification have been listed separately, such as Scandinavian, Hindustani, and Malay.
		For the purposes of this article, a 'first language' is a language a person was raised with, while a 'second language' is a language of instruction or everyday communication.

	Sample Entry: Language / Encyclopedia of Linguistics
		As with most Indo-European languages, the South Slavic group is characterized by many grammatical endings, with nouns and verbs changing form depending upon their position in the sentence, or their function as subjects or objects, singulars or plurals.
		Although Macedonian was codified as a standard language as recently as 1944, the beginnings of the contemporary language may be traced to the middle of the 19th century.
		The South Slavic languages represent a picture of great diversity among the Slavic languages, and, as they are located at a crossroads of European languages and cultures, have been affected by contacts with numerous languages.

		Slavic languages (with the Baltic languages--Latvian and Lithuanian) form a branch of the Indo-European language family.
		While it is the norm in all areas of public life, Serbian/Croatian (often a second language for many Macedonians) and local dialect forms continue to exert an influence on the language, especially those in the Western dialect area, which is the basis for the standard.
		Other languages spoken in Macedonia include Albanian--which is spoken throughout Western Macedonia and which is the majority language in the cities of that region--and Turkish, the main language of the Muslim minority.

		Nevertheless, because of the trend toward extinction among American Indian languages, their study is increasingly aimed at three goals: (a) interpreting written data on extinct languages, (b) obtaining data from the last speakers of obsolescent languages, and (c) encouraging the maintenance of languages still spoken by substantial communities.
		Some languages also specify the instrument of an action, generally by prefixation, as with Pomo phi-de- ‘to move by batting with a stick,’ phu-de- ‘to move by blowing,’ pha-de- ‘to move by pushing with the end of a stick.’ (i) Some languages have constructions called evidentials, indicating the source or validity of the information reported.

	The Yiddish Language
		Yiddish was the primary language of Ashkenazic Jews in the shtetl, found throughout eastern and central Europe.
		In Israel, the Hebrew language is predominant, and Yiddish is a second language cultivated largely by members of the older generation who have an eastern European background; only a few modern Israeli poets write in Yiddish.
		The YIVO Institute for Jewish Research, founded in Poland at the turn of the century and moved to New York City in 1940, includes the study of the development of the Yiddish language as part of its effort to preserve the history of Eastern European shtetl, or village, culture.

	Balochi
		It is the main language of Balochistan (Baluchistan), a province of Pakistan.
		Even though Balochi is the primary language of Balochistan, it is not taught in schools due to lack of teachers, lack of parental support (most parents want their children to learn Urdu, Farsi, or English instead), and competing pressures from other language groups.
		In the present and future tense, Balochi behaves like a Nominative-Accusative language, i.e., both transitive and intransitive verbs agree with their subjects; the nominative case marks the subjects of both transitive and intransitive verbs; and the accusative case marks the objects of transitive verbs.
