	Yiddish language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Western Yiddish dialect began to decline in the 18th century, as The Enlightenment and the Haskalah led to the German view that Yiddish was a corrupt form of their language.
		Yiddish emerged as the national language of a large Jewish community in Eastern Europe that rejected Zionism and sought to obtain Jewish cultural autonomy in Europe.
		Although millions of Yiddish speakers survived the war (including nearly all Yiddish speakers in the Americas), further assimilation in countries such as the United States, Soviet Union and the strictly monolingual stance of the Zionist ideology led to a decline in the use of Eastern Yiddish similar to the earlier decline in Western Yiddish.

	Language Family Encyclopedia Article @ Karr.net (Karr Network) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-04)
		The concept of language families thus entails the concept of a historical genetic ancestor of a language, implying a gradual evolution over time of one language into another language (as opposed to sudden replacement of a language).
		The concept of linguistic ancestry is less clear-cut than the concept of biological ancestry, as in cases of extreme historical language contact, in particular the formation of creole languages and other types of mixed languages; it may be unclear which language should be considered the ancestor of a given language.
		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.

	Yiddish Translation - Translate Yiddish Language Translator
		The language arose in central Europe between the 9th and 12th centuries as an amalgam of Middle High German dialects that also borrowed heavily from Hebrew/Aramaic terms found in traditional Jewish literature and from the Romance languages.
		One curious aspect of the language is that it uses Latin derivatives for many of its words relating to religious rituals, apparently borrowing the terminology from Old French as spoken in Alsace and used by the Catholic Church.
		The late 19th century and early 20th century are widely considered the Golden Age of Yiddish literature; this period also coincides with the revival of Hebrew as a spoken language, and the revival of Hebrew literature.

	Why Write Sign Language?
		When a language is written, it places it on an equal footing with other written languages, which brings the language attention and respect.
		Since the local written languages are those used to record the spoken language, this does not convey accurately the knowledge needed at the outset of learning to write.
		Signed and spoken languages were not written languages from the beginning.

	Implementing the ISO 639-2 code for Sign Languages
		Linguists have long recognized that Sign Languages are true languages, and the world's Sign Languages, used by Deaf and hearing people, have been provided with an identifying code in ISO 639-2, the International Standard which specifies 3-letter codes to identify the names of languages.
		When Evertype, as a registrar for Sign Language extensions, has positive information regarding the uniqueness of a Sign Language, the code is registered with IETF and noted here in Table A. The remaining codes (in Table B) must be considered provisional until they are verified by experts.
		It is being tested in schools and appears to raise literacy levels of born-deaf children, by providing a written base for their native (signed) language and the written (spoken) language of the majority in the countries in which they live.

	Proposed ISO 639-2 code for Sign Languages
		Although linguists have for decades recognized them as true languages, the world's Sign Languages, used by Deaf and hearing people, were overlooked during the drafting of ISO 639-2, the standard which specifies 3-letter codes to identify the names of languages.
		It is here proposed that a single 3-letter code, sgn, for Sign Languages be added to ISO 639-2, and that, as necessary, other codes be appended to that code to specify different Sign Languages.
		A number of them require additionally one of the regional extensions specified in ISO 3166-2; some extensions are language codes taken from the Bibliographical codes found in in ISO 639-2 where further precision is required, such as where more than one Sign Language occurs in a country.
