  MARC Code List for Languages
Additional codes for individual languages are created from time to time when it becomes apparent that a significant body of literature in a particular language already exists, or when it is determined that the amount of material in a language is growing.
While some individual languages are given their own unique code, although linguistically they are part of a language group, many individual languages are assigned a group code, because it is not considered practical to establish a separate code for each.
Ancient languages which are not given unique codes are assigned the code for the major language group to which each belongs, rather than the code for the modern language which evolved from the ancient language.

 Language Use
Language Use, English Ability, and Linguistic Isolation data were collected in the 2000, 1990, and 1980 decennial censuses using a three-part series of questions:
In earlier censuses the questions were about "mother tongue" (language spoken when the person was a child) or only for a select group (e.g., foreign born).

 Language/german us official lang
This is a common story, and the usual cap to it is that Congress voted - by a majority of one vote - to make English the official language of the US, this significantly altering the course of development in the US textbook publishing industry.
Matter of fact, the US at present does not have an "official" language in the sense of a language declared by law to have special status; English is merely the de facto standard.
Probably the best-known myth in the history of language planning is the story that German nearly became the national language of the US in the 18th century, losing to English by only one vote in the legislature (the "Muhlenberg" legend).

Against all odds, US language travel agents experienced good growth in 2001, according to this issue's Agency survey, although the outlook for 2002 is gloomy.
As the majority of US language travellers are of college or school age, it follows that the reason why just over half of our respondents' clients wanted to take a language course overseas was for their studies at home.
The US language travel market is relatively young and its rapid expansion is reflected in the growth in the number of schools that agencies currently represent.

Even though the Catalan language had early access to the printing press, with the first book being printed in Catalan in 1474 (Les trobes en llaors de la Verge Maria), during the centuries of the Renaissance and Baroque, the language went through a period of decadence in serious literature.

 About Us - Language Dynamics
It's entire existence is based on the philosophy that language learning is a natural human phenomenon common to all people and exclusive to none.
In fact, we believe that it is just as possible for you to learn more than one language as it is for you to learn to play more than one sport or more than one instrument.
After modeling this natural order for excellence in language learning we developed our own 'high frequency' list of words, phrases, vocabulary, and expressions which are most often used in a given language and taught those first.

 Amazon.com: Books: The C Programming Language (2nd Edition)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
The book focuses on the language itself - this is no hands-on book (no explanations on how to use this compiler or that debugger, though it is a little biased toward Unix) in a clear, concise, and thorough way covering all of the language and it's standard libraries.
I especially liked the excercises (the solutions come in a seperate volume) and the C source code examples of how some of the library routines are (or may be) implemented.
This book is *not* for people who study C as their first programming language (those would be better served with a pair of books - a first course in programming and compiler guide).
