	MARC Code List for Languages
		The language codes are three-character lowercase alphabetic strings usually based on the first three letters of the English form or, in some cases, vernacular of the corresponding language name.
		While some individual languages are given their own unique code, although linguistically they are part of a language group, many individual languages are assigned a group code, because it is not considered practical to establish a separate code for each.
		Ancient languages which are not given unique codes are assigned the code for the major language group to which each belongs, rather than the code for the modern language which evolved from the ancient language.

	FEMA For Kids: Hurricane Names (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)

		One name for each letter of the alphabet is selected, except for Q, U and Z. For Atlantic Ocean hurricanes, the names may be French, Spanish or English, since these are the major languages bordering the Atlantic Ocean where the storm occur.
		Then the name is retired and a new name is chosen.

	Names
		When names or name patterns are used traditionally by particular kin groups, rather than by the society as a whole, they come to have a sort of copyright attached to them.
		Names might sometimes pass outside a subgroup by loan or gift, but using a name of this sort without permission would be bad manners at best and a theft of intellectual property at worst.
		Public names among the Navajo are often of foreign (English or Spanish) origin, for use by those who are not able to to use a kinterm instead, and are unwilling to deal with people on a basis of anonymity.

	List of Irish given names - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Names from the Irish language are popular, but there is also a good proportion of English-language names such as Amy, Emily, Jack, or Hugh, some of which have Irish equivalents.
		But the increasing use of ethnically derived names in these countries means that such names have now become common among their general populations and are no longer seen as particularly "Irish".
		Irish like names are common in the Gaelic speaking area's of the west coast of Scotland this due to immigration and similar language in the Highlands.

	SSC Foreign Languages: General FAQ
		Many 'foreign' language departments have changed their name to "'modern languages department" (modern languages, as opposed to classical languages, such as Latin or Greek), or to "world languages department' (meaning that they teach major languages of the world).
		Every language which extends beyond a small village where everybody knows each other, has a number of "varieties" associated with a region or with a group of people (such as social class) ("variety" is a neutral term that linguists sometimes use instead of "dialect").
		For a language to have a standard variety is a good thing since it allows one to communicate more effectively with a wider range of people.

	Tungusic Research Group: About the Languages: Section 1
		There is no standard list of Tungusic languages; one finds great variability in the number of languages and the names given to them in various classifications.
		The inclusion of four of these languages is controversial since many scholars believe they are too similar to other Tungusic varieties to be given an independent listing.
		Nevertheless, her use of "dialect" was probably meant in the same way that we will use the term "language", as suggestive of the point where mutual intelligibility breaks down between Tungusic varieties.

	Cover Pages: Code for the Representation of the Names of Languages. From ISO 639, revised 1989.
		Second, the WSD (Writing System Declaration) implemented in the Text Encoding Initiative uses the [two-character] language code of ISO 639 (as amended) as a language.code attribute of the nat.language declaration, specifying the language in which the WSD is written.
		The two-character language codes of ISO 639 are recognized as being inadequate for use as SGML language attributes when tagging text, viz, for use as global lang attributes attached to any element to identify the language of the text element or a language shift.
		Modifications to the names of the languages are not included.

	LINGUIST List 2.804: Names (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		With reference to John Limber's query on whether names exhibit syntactic peculiarities in any languages: in the southern dialects of the Western Desert Language, Australia (Pitjantjatjara, Yankunytjatjara etc.) names have the suffix -nya in the S (intransitive subject) and O (transitive direct object) forms, and the ergative -lu in the A (transitive subject) form.
		I would like comment on a bit David Gil's query (Linguist Vol-2-794) about the syntax of names and their (apparent) capacity to function as NPs without being in construction with an article, a quantifier, etc. There are, at least, two more counterexamples to this generalization we could add to the Tagalog example Gil mentions.
		Of course, given this double life that languages with an Academia live, these constructions sound perfectly good both with the article and without it, which basically means that we will probably always supply an article when speaking, but we will never write such a thing.
