  Lorrain language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lorrain is a language spoken by a minority of people in Lorraine in France and in Gaume in Belgium.
It is classified as a regional language of France, and has the recognised status of a regional language of Wallonia (where it is known as Gaumais).
Also, the name Lorraine is applied to the Frankish language spoken in Lorraine, a Germanic language, closely related to Alsatian, the Alemannic language of the original Alsatians, as well as various Swiss dialects.

A number of other Germanic peoples, including the Burgundians, were active in the territory at that time; the Germanic languages spoken by the Franks, Burgundians, and others were not written languages, and at this Olr it is often difficult to identify from which specific Germanic source a given Germanic word in French is derived.

 The Walloon language page
Other regional languages spoken in certain areas of Wallonia include Picard (romance language, western half of the province of Hainaut), Lorrain (romance language, southern villages of the Luxembourg province), Champenois (romance language, one village in the south of the province of Namur) and Letzebuergesch (germanic language, region of Arlon).
All these languages are spoken in the neighboring countries: the major part of the Picard and Lorrain linguistic areas are in France (where they are not recognized at all as languages).
In our view, this should be considered as a sign of life, although language purists lament the fact that “their” Walloon is changing: if the language is being adapted by the new generation, this means that this generation still finds it useful and wishes to take it over, to make it its own.

 Concepts, Techniques, and Models of Computer Programming
Using a single language instead of several (e.g., Java, Prolog, Haskell, and Erlang) makes it easier to show the deep relationships between the paradigms as well as reducing the administrative burden for student and teacher (only one system needs to be installed and learned instead of many).
The general language is easy to understand by practicing programmers and has a simple formal semantics that allows programmers to reason about correctness and complexity at a high level of abstraction.
The most extreme case is where a single rather complex model and language, namely object-oriented programming in Java, is used as a general-purpose approach with which all problems should be solved.

The first goal involves the integration of different types of language resources with the help of metadata descriptions and the interlinking of the resulting resource repository with an existing tool repository; in this way, it will ensure that users will be able to directly use the appropriate tools on the included resources.
INTERA anticipates that this integrated and interlinked metadata description domain will facilitate the access to language resources in Europe and help professionals in industry, the eContent business, research and education, and increase the usage of the resources already available.
The second goal addresses the lack of quality of multilingual resources, especially for the less widely spoken languages, including the Balkan ones, which are of crucial importance to the development of the eContent business.

 History of French Language   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
To my thinking as an amateur external historian, these efforts are simply a continuation of the process which began in 813 at the Council of Tours (and in 3 or 4 others that year), where the Church enjoined clergy to preach "in rusticam romanam linguam".
From this point, court and monastic sponsorship of writing, along with the extension of political and military dominion are important determiners in the growth of status for the various romance idioms.
