	New Zealand English - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Recent linguistic research has suggested that the short, flat 'i' heard in New Zealand comes from dialects of English spoken by lower-class English people in the late 19th century, though why it persisted in New Zealand while disappearing from Australia is not known.
		Pronunciation of the name of the letter 'h' is /eɪtʃ/, as in Great Britain and North America, as opposed to the aspirated /heɪtʃ/ of Hiberno-English origin found in Australian English, although this is still widely debated within educational institutions within Australia.
		Pronunciation of the letter 'l' at the end of a word such as kill, is sometimes voiced as a 'w'.

	Greek_language - The real meaning from Timesharetalk wikipedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		Two main forms of the language have been in use since the end of the medieval Greek period: Dhimotikí (??µ?t???), the Demotic (vernacular) language, and Katharévusa (?a?a?e???sa), an imitation of classical Greek, which was used for literary, juridic, administrative and scientific purposes during the 19th and early 20th centuries.
		Greek is the official language of Greece where it is spoken by about 99.5% of the population.
		In addition to the letters of the alphabet, Greek has a number of diacritical signs, most of which were eliminated from official use in Greece in 1982 as no longer corresponding to the modern pronunciation of the language.

		Dialects represent the continued spoken tradition in Norway, while the two standard written forms are to a large extent distillations of norms.
		The letters c, q, w, x and z are used almost exclusively in borrowed terms and names.
		Norwayâs diminished population (due to the devastation of the Black Death in 1349) weakened the position of the language in governmental and cultural arenas.

		But as for languages which use case markings for the subject/object distinction, that's all the languages in the finno-ugric branch, all the languages in the slavic branch (i can't speak for the other branches well).
		I can say that it is a head-marking language, so instead of case being marked on the nouns, pronominal cues as to the subject and object are included in the verb (or, sometimes, the object itself is incorporated into the verb).
		All I intend to mean by "polysynthetic language" is a language in which most of the heavy lifting is done in the morphology.

		By the beginning of the 7th century AD the vast majority of the island of Britain was under the control of a number of Germanic tribes, the best known of which were the Angles, Saxons and Jutes.
		Frisian is a language spoken by approximately half a million people in the Dutch province of Friesland, in nearby areas of Germany, and on a few islands in the North Sea.
		English orthography is historical, not phonological, orthography and diverges considerably from the spoken language.

	liber paganum -- introduction -- On Language Problems
		The recent language that has probably developed most directly from Latin is Raetian, a language spoken in southern Switzerland (it is derived from vulgar Latin, though).
		Since Greek was the language of the educated in the Roman empire since before the times of Augustus, one may also assume that in this time, it was pronounced similarly to Latin, with the same reservations.
		The slavic languages, while by now using differing writing systems (some use Cyrillic, and some Latin-derived systems), are similar in pronunciation -- the description of which we will have to delay for the time being as we are lacking data on this.

		I tried for long to hit upon some language that might catch ever so faintly the indefinable shifting colour of olive leaves; and, above all, the changes and little silverings that pass over them, like blushes over a face, when the wind tosses great branches to and fro; but the Muse was not favourable.

		Dublex, as a language for use in a game, has a simplified sound system that should be easy for you to learn.
		Since it was not feasible to analyze thousands of languages for common forms, Dublex focused in on words from six of the most spoken languages in the world: Arabic, Chinese, English, Hindi, Russian and Spanish (called the six cardinal languages).
		Thanks to Rick for designing the Universal Language Dictionary, and for overseeing the compilation of it, which proved an invaluable reference for coining Dublex words and for deciding which core concepts needed to be included in the Dublex dictionary.

		Abstract This document describes a language tag for use in cases where it is desired to indicate the language used in an information object.
		The namespace of language tags is administered by the IANA according to the rules in clause 5 of this document.
		For example, the Sign language used in the German-speaking part of Switzerland was labeled as xxx-ch-zh (xxx is the code for Sign languages that I ignore at the moment, ch stands for Switzerland, and zh stands for the Kanton of Zurich).

		For most deaf people in America, ASL is their native language in the same way English is the native language for most hearing Americans.
		With sign language, you use a hand gesture — along with facial expressions and other movements — to express an entire word or phrase.
		Either review these two letters as a class, or have the pairs visit the site and watch how each is signed.) Have students spend the rest of the class period and their homework time that evening familiarizing themselves with the ASL alphabet.

		The overriding theme of his work is sound: to understand language is not to transduce a linguistic structure, but to relate it to a train of thought (represented by "scripts", sets of "goals", etc.).
		The suggested theme (not exclusive) is "Language of Law and Liturgy." The purpose of the theme is to encourage submissions on the topic of institutional language, particularly law and the church.
		There is a lot of systematicity in language and most of it is not necessarily 100 percent isomorphic with function/meaning, even in the lowest corners of the periphery.

		When speakers of a language report that they can't assign wide scope to X--some quantified NP in a multiply-quantified sentence--linguists often interpret this judgment as evidence that a structure in which X receives wide scope violates some principle in the grammar.
		Like any lexical item, quantifier terms may not have exact translations from one language to the next, and it is certainly possible that near-translations of some quantifiers may not be exactly equivalent in (I), the strength to which they take wide scope in different languages.
		The sequence of harmonics begins: 9 10 12 12 10 8 9 10 9 10 8 6 8 9 10 12 12 10; then precisely the same sequence of overtones is repeated with the same durations, excepting only the last 3 notes, for which a 5-note ending is substituted.

		We’ve known it was coming all along, as they kept bolting stuff on and attempting to patch a crufty old OS in the interest of backwards compatibility.
		Their inability to integrate a new filesystem into it is a sign that their 2 decades worth of nasty spaghetti code has finally reached critical mass and simply can’t be futzed with anymore.
		Net neutrality isn’t on their list of key issues either, but a search reveals a misguided report showing how they don’t want network neutrality because it would stifle companies from laying new fiber.
