Language

  • Vocabulary
    A person's vocabulary is the set of words within a language that are familiar to that person.
  • Flitto
    Flitto (Hangul: 플리토) is a global crowd-sourcing translation platform (iOS, Android, web), where you can request translations as you need or become a translator if you can speak more than one language.
  • Pivot language
    A pivot language, sometimes also called a bridge language, is an artificial or natural language used as an intermediary language for translation between many different languages – to translate between any pair of languages A and B, one translates A to the pivot language P, then from P to B.
  • First language
    A first language (also native language, father tongue/mother tongue, arterial language, or L1) is the language or are the languages a person has been exposed to from birth or within the critical period, or that a person speaks the best and so is often the basis for sociolinguistic identity.
  • Sign language
    A sign language (also signed language) is a language which chiefly uses manual communication to convey meaning, as opposed to acoustically conveyed sound patterns.
  • Pre-Samnite language
    Pre-Samnite was an ancient language spoken in southern Campania, in Italy.
  • Nonsense word
    A nonsense word, unlike a sememe, may have no definition.
  • Linguistic Imperialism
    Linguistic Imperialism is a book written by Robert Phillipson, research professor at Copenhagen Business School's Department of English, published in 1992 by Oxford University Press.
  • Problem of religious language
    The problem of religious language considers whether it is possible to talk about God meaningfully if the traditional conceptions of God as being incorporeal, infinite, and timeless, are accepted.
  • Langmaker
    Langmaker.com was a website run by Jeffrey Henning that acted as a database of conlangs, neographies, and other resources related to conlanging and conworlding.
  • Artificial language
    Artificial languages are languages of a typically very limited size which emerge either in computer simulations between artificial agents, robot interactions or controlled psychological experiments with humans.
  • Origin of speech
    Uncontroversially, monkeys, apes and humans, like many other animals, have evolved specialised mechanisms for producing sound for purposes of social communication.
  • Standard language
    A standard language (also standard dialect or standardized dialect) is a language variety used by a group of people in their public discourse.
  • Maithil
    The Maithil (Devnagri: मैथिल, Tirhuta: মৈথিল) are the native speakers of the Maithili language indigenous to the Mithila region, which is now divided between the Mithila federal state of Nepal and Indian state of Bihar.
  • Constructed language
    A planned or constructed language (sometimes called a conlang) is a language whose phonology, grammar, and vocabulary have been consciously devised for human or human-like communication, instead of having developed naturally.
  • Speech
    Speech is the vocalized form of communication based upon the syntactic combination of lexicals and names that are drawn from very large (usually about 1,000 different words) vocabularies.
