	Language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Human spoken and written languages can be described as a system of symbols (sometimes known as lexemes) and the grammars (rules) by which the symbols are manipulated.
		Human languages are usually referred to as natural languages, and the science of studying them is linguistics.
		N.B.: one should be careful about the underlying classification principle for groups of languages which have apparently a geographical name: besides areal linguistic units, the taxa of the genetic classification (language families) are often given names which themselves or parts of which refer to geographical areas.

	metaphorik.de 01/2001 - Radden, The folk model of language
		In some languages, this metonymy competes with the metonymic use of other speech organs or, more frequently, with the notions of ‘speaking’ or ‘speech’ for ‘language.’ In this case, the word for tongue may be restricted to specific varieties of language.
		For example, one’s native language is typically described as ‘mother tongue,’ and a regional variety is often referred to as ‘local tongue.’ Finally, the Biblical use of the term tongue in ‘speaking in tongues’ to describe divine, but unintelligible, speech may have contributed to associating the tongue with very specific varieties of language.
		The role the folk model of language assigns to the lips in an act of speaking is mainly that of opening or closing the mouth and thereby allowing words which have been produced by the tongue to be uttered or not to be uttered.
