	Austronesian Languages - ninemsn Encarta
		The languages of Australia (Aboriginal languages) and most of New Guinea (Papuan languages), however, are not part of this family.
		The 237 Western Oceanic languages are spoken in Papua New Guinea, the Solomon Islands, and Indonesia.
		In general, the Austronesian languages use affixes (suffixes, infixes, prefixes) attached to base words to modify the meaning or to indicate the function of the word in the sentence.

	Dravidian Languages - MSN Encarta
		Malayalam is the principal language of Kerala state, on the south-western coast of India.
		Since some of the minor Dravidian languages are spoken in the far north-east and north-west of India, linguists have reason to suppose that this family formerly covered a much greater area than it does today.
		As a written language of learning, Sanskrit seems to have exerted strong influence even on the earliest known Dravidian language, and in the modern Malayalam, Kannada, and Telugu languages, Sanskrit loanwords retain the four distinctions between stop consonants that are characteristic of Indo-Aryan but not of Dravidian.

	Indigenous Languages of South America
		There is great confusion in the names of languages and language families, due to the different orthographic traditions of Spanish and Portuguese, and tothe lack of a standardized classification scheme.
		Arawakan languages formerly extended from the peninsula of Florida in North America to the present-day Paraguay–Argentina border, and from the foothills of the Andes eastward to the Atlantic Ocean.
		Even languages with relatively large populations of speakers are in danger of disappearing by the end of the 21st century unless governments institute meaningful language preservation programs.

		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.
		The common ancestor of the languages belonging to a language family is known as its protolanguage.
		Languages that cannot be reliably classified into any family are known as language isolates.

	Unique Facts about Africa: Rawandan Genocide
		Language policies that are being developed nowadays are mostly aimed at multilingualism.
		Language contact (resulting in borrowing) and, with regard to specific idioms and phrases, a similar cultural background have been put forward to account for some of the similarities.

	The Languages of China (S. Robert Ramsey) - book review
		The linguistic influence of the north on the south is ongoing: historically the dominant process has been the southward migration of Chinese speakers and the adoption by local populations of Chinese culture and language.
		Language has played an unpredictable role in defining minorities: some are clearly distinguishable both culturally and linguistically (the Uighur, for example); others are culturally hard to distinguish from their Han neighbours (the Zhuang); and some speak Chinese dialects and are distinguished only by religion or culture (the Muslim Hui).
		Two chapters then survey the minority languages systematically: in the north the Altaic language family (Turkic, Mongolian, and Tungus); in the south a broad "linguistic area" (with shared features resulting from diffusion) containing representatives of several language families (Tibeto-Burman, Tai, Miao-Yao, Mon-Khmer) and many unclassified languages.

	Foundation For Endangered Languages. Newsletter 15
		Minority languages and linguistic and cultural diversity: In addition to their relevance in the definition of human rights and minority rights standards, regional or minority languages should be explicitly recognised as essential elements of linguistic and cultural diversity as well as an important aspect of the identity of users of the regional or minority languages.
		The recognition of the duty of the individual states to retain languages still spoken in their territories in addition to the national language or languages is one of the foundations of Europe which will continue to excel by its variety of languages and cultures.
		Language descriptions in general, and descriptions of sofar undescribed unclassified languages in particular, may be a way to offer some answers to linguistic, ethno-historical, and cultural issues.

	PRE-ROMAN LANGUAGES AND WRITING SYSTEMS OF SPAIN
		The languages of the pre-roman Iberian peninsula can be classified in two groups according to their external cultural relations: 1) the languages of the historically documented colonisations: Phoenician, Punic and Greek; and 2) the "native" languages.
		In all likelihood Tartessian is nor an Iberian language neither an Indo-European one.
		Attested from the IV century B.C. to the I A.C. Before the Second Punic War it is limited to the coastal zone from South France (from the river Orb: Béziers/ Narbonne) to the north of the province of Valencia, on the same latitude as Sagunto.

	Sango language resources
		Originally used by river traders, it is a vehicular language, based on the language of the Sango tribe, belonging to the Ngbandi language cluster (including Ngbandi and Yakoma), with many French words.
		Secondly, its new position as the everyday language of the capital city has led to Sango gaining greater status and being used increasingly in fields where it was previously the norm to use French.
		Being a vehicular language, Sango is considered unusually easy to learn; according to Samarin, "with application a student ought to be able to speak the language in about three months." However, to reach true fluency takes much longer, as with any language.

	33. The Language Family
		A language family is a very high-level classification and one that is rarely obvious.
		Possible remnants of the prehistoric Vedda language have been reported in the late 19th century by the Sarasin cousins, who also expressed the hope that someone would do a systematic analysis of their evidence.
		Out of the need for a means of communications between immigrants and Negritos a pidgin language arose quickly which later, in the course of passing centuries, was creolised to such an extent that the modern Negrito languages of the Philippines came to bear a close resemblance to the neighbouring Austronesian languages.

		Of course every state has its own tribal languages and besides those you named there is also Portuguese, spoken in some African countries such as Mozambique, Angola, etc. If I'm not wrong one may encounter also speakers of German in former German colonies.
