	Alphabet (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		However, languages often evolve independently of their writing systems, and writing systems have been borrowed for languages they were not designed for, so the degree to which letters of an alphabet correspond to phonemes of a language varies greatly from one language to another and even within a single language.
		A language may use different sets of symbols or different rules for distinct sets of vocabulary items (such as the Japanese hiragana and katakana syllabaries, or the various rules in English for spelling words from Latin and Greek, or the original Germanic vocabulary.
		However, with international languages with wide variations in its dialects, such as English, it would be impossible to represent the language in all its variations with a single phonetic alphabet.

		Most languages are known to belong to language families ("families" hereforth).
		Language families can be subdivided into smaller units, conventionally referred to as "branches" (because the history of a language family is often represented as a "tree" diagram).
		Languages that cannot be reliably classified into any family are known as language isolates.

		The Muran language family is a language family of Brazil.
		Linguistically, the Muran family is typified by agglutinativity, by paucity of phonemes (Pirahã has just 11 compared to English's 40-odd), and by grammatical tone.
		The Muran language is the eponymous member of this language family; however, most Muran languages have died due to the usage of Portuguese in Brazil, mainly because they were spoken by so few people anyway: the Pirahã language is now spoken by just 150 people in eight villages.

		Native American languages are the indigenous languages of the Americas, spoken from Alaska and Greenland to the southern tip of South America.
		The Native American languages consist of dozens of distinct language families as well as many language isolates; proposals to group these into higher-level families have been made by some linguists, but are not generally accepted.
		Native American languages vary greatly in the number of speakers, from Quechua, Aymara, Guarani, and Nahuatl with millions of active speakers to a number of languages with only a handful of elderly speakers.

		Language families can be divided into smaller phylogenetic units, conventionally referred to as branches of the family, because the history of a language family is often represented as a tree diagram.
		A language isolated in its own branch within a family, such as Greek within Indo-European, is often also called an isolate, but such cases are usually clarified.

	CNN.com - 17,000 Ethiopian Falash Mura permitted to immigrate to Israel - Feb. 16, 2003
		Israeli officials have admitted that they have failed to solve the problems of the Ethiopian Jews but insist that any singling out is done for the purpose of directing special services to the newcomers and their families.
		The case of the Falash Mura caused further friction, with some officials worrying that relaxing the rules about Jewish immigration might encourage other peoples with tenuous ties to Judaism to claim the right to immigrate for economic reasons.
		In recent years, some 18,000 Falash Mura have left homes in outlying regions of Ethiopia in anticipation of moving to Israel, and have rented mud huts near two compounds run by immigration activists in Addis Ababa, the capital, and in the northern city of Gondar.

	Phonology
		A fairly obvious observation about human language is that different languages have different sets of possible sounds that can be used to create words.
		When one language borrows sounds from another language, the borrowing language must often adapt the words to fit the set of possible sounds in its inventory.
		That is, even though the different languages have different sets of sounds and different ways of arranging and patterning those sounds, there are a number of similarities across human languages.
