Spoken languages in the world
According to a recent survey in the English language are spoken at six thousand eight hundred and nine languages. But ninety percent of the number of languages that are increasingly rare because of which people have less than a million.
She is the world's largest language Mandarin language understood by the population in China, while English is the second language. 'Urdu - Hindi, if you be considered a language is the third most populous language but Hindi will be viewed as a separate language is the sixth the number in the languages list (fifth Chile is a Bengali) and Urdu twenty numbers.
Also includes Arabic and Spanish major languages of the world. But his case is different from most. Although the mother of only 32 million people in the world language is English, most of the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, have settled in Australia and New Zealand, but in countries around the world, 35 million people who have a second language English with the use of their mother tongue they speak fluent English.
In addition, there are ten to fifteen million people who have learned a language English. But the number of such people is growing so fast that neither the mother tongue or second language, but education, employment or hy.rydyu they just get established in order to broaden his mental horizon, TV, film and especially the use of the English language as well as increased use of the Internet and its efficacy is also growing.
Linguistic knowledge of a language is important to understand a few basic points of the structure as well as English. For example, we should know that the tongue is divided into several families and must know his ancestry sjrhء to fully understand any language.
At least seven thousand languages spoken around the world is divided into at least ten families of which I will mention only four families.
The Indo - European Family
Indo - European family of languages, is the largest and has the most important, because the English, Urdu, Hindi, Bengali, Punjabi and Persian All languages belong to the same group for our study. Sanskrit is the same family of classical languages like Latin, but Arabic is a brand belonging to different families.
The Sino - Tibetan Family
The largest population in the world Mandarin language belongs to the same family. In addition to China and the Tibetan languages spoken in the Burmese language is the same tribe. Voices of a Mother (monosyllabic) and tone (tone) of the wave is the highlight of these languages. Means a sound if played at high or low, the word turns.
The Afro - Asiatic Family
The family called the Hamito-Semitic or Semitic family of languages. These included the ancient languages of Aramaic, captivity, Sumer, Akkad, and the Canaanites. But today the group's leading Arabic and Hebrew.
The Dravidian Family
If the Dravidian family of languages is of great interest in this respect, although the languages are spoken in the south of India, but they have absolutely no connection with the languages of northern India. But no relationship can come from Urdu or Hindi, English or German language but not the Malayalam language. South India and Sri Lanka are a 26-Dravidian group of languages spoken Tamil but these are known, keen, Malayalam and Kannada.
As I said before The English India - the European family. Out of the relationship with our languages, English in this respect and that many words testify of our language, such as 'Jangi' and 'forest' are used to here centuries symbols of dense and English Jungle is derived from the word here, and Urdu - became corner in Hindi the word 'corner' English.
This similarity only Urdu and English are not only the family can find the same words in all languages, for example consumes month word in English for a month, Dutch maand, German monat, Swedish manad, Greek minas and Persian 'months'.
Because of this similarity, it comes from the same linguistic family, all languages.
