		Language family trees show the relationships among languages; the oldest traceable ancestor language is shown at the top of the tree, and the bottom branches show the distance of relationship among current living members of the family.
		The standard language (such as High German) is frequently the dialect used in writing; that is, it is the literary language of a speech community, or at least a dialect that has an existing orthography and a body of material written in it.
		Pidgins are based on one language from which they take much of their vocabulary but are also influenced by at least one other language; they have relatively small sound systems, reduced vocabularies, and simplified and altered grammars, and they rely heavily on context in order to convey meaning.

		The other approach considers borrowings from one language to another, in a binary comparison of languages rather than a group of languages (Boas, Goddard and Michelson).
		Greenberg succeeds in reducing the number of language families in the Americas to three: Eskimo-Aleut (Arctic), Na-Dené (Canada, US Southwest) and Amerind (North and South America); each family results from a separate migration from Asia, beginning from 10000BC, down to 3000BC.

	languagehat.com: Comment on THE TOWER OF BABEL.
		The function of this expanding Yayoi language which I shall later describe as a Creole (North-Kyushu Creole) was that of a lingua franca among the various Jomon Japanese absorbing and homogenizing many of the original languages in the regions of Honshu and Kyushu.
		In particular, the language of the existing Kyushu Jomon inhabitants, a Malayo-Polynesian variety, had a profound effect upon the Yayoi settlers' language.
		A creolization continuum therefore developed in which the existing Jomon languages (the vernaculars) stood at various 'distances' from the standard (and rapidly standardizing) Yayoi language.

		As regular readers of Languagehat know, I'm deeply skeptical of attempts to connect all the world's languages into one big happy family, but I have nothing but praise for this project.
		You enter in the word here, and you get this page, which gives you the protoform *r[a:]kw, which meant noise or roar, and words from the same root in Chinese, Burmese, Kachin, Lushei, Lepcha and Kiranti, along with their meanings.
		In Mongolian languages, the root is *boruga, meaning 1) heavy rain or 2) to snow or sleet; In Middle Mongolian the word was boro'an, in Khalka (Mongolian Mongolian) it's 1) boro:(n) for heavy rain and 2) burgana- for snow or sleet, in Buryat it's 1) boro: 2) burga- and so on.
