		It was "inspired by" the oppression of the Kurdish people, language and freedom of expression by the Turkish state.
		By military decree "mountain" people are forbidden to use their language and must use the "language of the capitol," which some cannot speak; and, therefore, they are unable to speak at all.
		Any such suppression of language in England, Pinter suggests, is the kind of censorship characteristic of a totalitarian "state" not a democracy.

		Mountain Language is a stark and aggressive piece of work set in a prison for political dissidents in an unnamed country at an unspecified time.
		In this hostile landscape, communication is forbidden, and language has become the tool of the oppressor, whose torrent of words infects the atmosphere.
		Naturally most of them don’t know the language of the capital, and when they continue to speak their own language, the only language they know, they are beaten.

	Mountain Language
		Mountain English is a broad term covering the varieties of English spoken in two geographically separate mountainous areas of the United Statesóthe Ozark region of northwestern Arkansas and southern Missouri, and the southern Appalachian Mountains of eastern Kentucky and Tennessee, mid-to-southern West Virginia, western Virginia and North Carolina, and northern Georgia.
		Mountain speech has often been romanticized and stereotyped as Elizabethan or Shakespearean, terms that connote a language frozen in time from the late 17th and early 18th centuries, when emigrants from the British Isles first settled in southern Appalachia.
		Innovation, or language change, seems to be occurring in two specific grammatical areas of Mountain English: subject-verb concord and the marking of principal parts of verbs.

		"MOUNTAIN LANGUAGE is an atom bomb: brief, brutal and utterly devastating." —BackStage.
		Set in a prison where the inmates are forbidden to speak their own language, the play is comprised of four terse, arresting scenes which make masterful use of nuance and subtle understatement (with sudden bursts of violence) to create an overwhelming sense of terror and shocking futility.
		Quintessentially Pinteresque in its skillful use of pregnant pauses, resonant images and nightmarish utterances, the play is both enthralling theatre and a stirring reminder of what can happen when the power of the state becomes all-encompassing and the rights of the individual are forfeited, whether through neglect or weakness of will.

		Another obstacle to learning indigenous languages is a lack of pedagogical materials and one of the reasons for that lack is because some native people oppose having their languages written down or recorded.
		Language learning methods, especially if they have been successfully utilized, are important information for tribes to share in their language renewal efforts.
		The results of the questions on language ideology from a small segment of my tribe revealed that they value their language and culture and that there are many causal factors for the erosion and loss of their language and a rapid shift to English.

		The Hausa language of West Africa does have a remote relationship with Arabic, but the similarities are too faint to be of any practical value in facilitating a shift to Arabic.

		Mountain Language was first performed in 1988, and Ashes to Ashes in 1996, but the two fit together as neatly as consecutive clauses in Pinter's tightly constructed argument on aggression that goes back to plays like The Caretaker.
		By placing the darkly comedic Mountain Language before Ashes to Ashes, Mitchell robs the latter of its much-criticised obliqueness, so that instead of viewing this second play as a domestic drama that escalates from the personal to the overtly political, through visual echoes, the warscape is there from the start.
		Ironically, the power of Mountain Language manifests itself less in words than in its pictures, because Mitchell has turned it into starkly painted tableaux of terror.

	Are Mountain Jews Descended from the Khazars?
		Their language is Juwri (Juhuri), of Old Persian origin, related to the Persian spoken by Jews in Tajikistan and Uzbekistan, and also containing many Turkic and Semitic elements.
		It is possible that the Mountain Jews are descendants of Persian-Jewish soldiers who were stationed in the Caucasus by the Sasanian kings in the fifth or sixth century to protect the area from the onslaughts of the Huns and other nomadic invaders from the east.
		Outside of the territory of the Khazarian kaganate and outside of the historical zone of the migration of Mountain Jews, this name practically is nonexistent; two exceptions during the Middle Ages were in Jerusalem in the 10th century and in Byzantium in the 12th century.

		The Birthday Party and Mountain Language (both Pinter plays) were shown back-to-back nightly, and David juggled having contrasting parts in both shows.
		Much of Mountain Language is about watching, listening, longing, and occasionally, daring to make a stand.
		In pairing Mountain Language with The Birthday Party (Pinter's idea), it became immediately clear that, for all their surface differences, both pieces wrestled with a concern that has been paramount in Pinter's work from the beginning: the struggle of the individual to survive the depredations and aggressions of society." -Carey Perloff, director
