	Language isolate - Wikipedia Mirror (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		A language isolate, in the absolute sense, is a natural language with no demonstrable genealogical (or "genetic") relationship with other living languages; that is, one that has not been demonstrated to descend from an ancestor common to any other language.
		Language isolates may be seen as a special case of unclassified languages, being languages which remain unclassified even after extensive efforts.
		Neither should isolates be confused with isolating languages, languages in which morphemes generally exist in the form of full-fledged words, as opposed to synthetic languages.

		A language isolate is a natural language with no demonstrable genealogical (or "genetic") relationship with other living languages; that is, one that has not been demonstrated to descend from an ancestor common to any other language.
		If eventually such efforts do prove fruitful, a language previously considered an isolate may no longer be considered one; and since linguists do not always agree on whether a genetic relationship has been demonstrated, it is often disputed whether a language constitutes a true isolate or not.
		A language thought to be an isolate may turn out to be relatable to other languages once enough material is recovered, but this is unlikely to occur if a language was not written.

	Science Fair Projects - Oropom language
		Oropom (or Oworopom, Oyoropom, Oropoi) is an almost certainly extinct African language, once spoken in northeastern Uganda and northwestern Kenya between the Turkwel River, Chemorongit Mountains, and Mount Elgon, by the Oropom ethnic group.
		Harold Fleming also notes that "initial inspection suggests some possible commonality" between Oropom and the Kuliak languages, a probably Nilo-Saharan relic group found in Northern Uganda among such tribes as the Ik.
		However, in the absence of further work, Oropom remains an unclassified language, and is sometimes seen as a language isolate.

		The problematics of language policy and language planning are complex and linked strongly with the historical, social and cultural developments of the nation-state and its power structures.
		Language policy changed in Ethiopia radically in the year1991 when first the Oromo Liberation Front OLF declared free Oromia and the transitional government declared all languages official in Ethiopia in their largely ethnicly limited regions.
		Oromo language planning that had been carried outside Ethiopia and as an underground intellectual work inside the country, bursted out rapidly with great enthusiasm in Oromia, which had become the largest region of Ethiopia, uniting 12 of the old 14 provinces.

		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.
		Languages that cannot be reliably classified into any family are known as language isolates.
		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.

	Language isolate
		A language isolate is a natural language with no demonstrable genetic relationship with other living languages; that is, one that has not been proved to descend from a common ancestor to any other language.
		The term "genetic relationship" is meant in the sense of historical linguistics, which claims that almost all languages spoken in the world today can be grouped by derivation from common ancestral languages into a relatively small number of families.
		It is possible, though not certain, that all languages spoken in the world today are genetically related by descent from a single ancestral tongue.

		Besides first language speakers, a number of members of other ethnicities who are in contact with the Oromos speak Oromo as a second language, for example, the Omotic-speaking Bambassi and the Nilo-Saharan-speaking Kwama in northwestern Oromia.
		In most languages, there is a small number of basic distinctions of person, number, and often gender that play a role within the grammar of the language.
		As in languages such as French, Russian, and Turkish, the Oromo second person plural is also used as a polite singular form, for reference to people that the speaker wishes to show respect towards.

		The Nilo-Saharan languages are a group of African languages spoken mainly in the upper parts of the Chari and Nile rivers, including Nubia.
		Some linguists, including Roger Blench, consider the Kadu languages (also called Kadugli languages or Tumtum) to be Nilo-Saharan, while others follow Greenberg in classing them as Kordofanian languages, or Ehret in considering them a small isolated family.
		Proposals for the external relationships of Nilo-Saharan typically center on Niger-Congo: Gregersen (1972) grouped the two together to form Kongo-Saharan, whereas Blench (1995) actually proposed that Niger-Congo may simply be a member of Nilo-Saharan (coordinate with Central Sudanic.) However, such theories are treated with reserve by most historical linguists.
