| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Hebrew Language and Literature |
| | Hebrew belongs to the great Semitic family of languages, the geographical location of which is principally in South-Western Asia, extending from the Mediterranean to the mountains east of the valley of the Euphrates, and from the mountains of Armenia on the north to the southern extremity of the Arabian Peninsula. | | | In connection with this problem scholars, assuming that some of the known Semitic languages were derived from others of the same family, have tried to discover their mutual relationships of parent stock and affiliation, to determine which was the mother tongue from which the others were derived. | | | Naturally the earlier stages of the growth of the language are the ones involved in the greatest obscurity. |

| | Home Language Practices of Trilingual Children in French Immersion |
| | The objective was to gain information on the family context, the languages used in the home, the language practices adopted by family members, and family values concerning language and education. | | | An ethnographic stance was adopted to explore the daily context of language use at home, the children's representations of their identity as trilinguals, their family values concerning language maintenance and additional language learning, and the reasons their parents opted to enrol them in French immersion. | | | In addition to maintaining the family language at home, the parents have sent their children on trips to their country of origin as another means of ensuring that their children identify with the family language and develop a sense of belonging to members of that language group. |

| | In general, an algorithm that is written for one member of a language family will translate into the same algorithm for another member of the same family, but will need to be expressed very differently or completely changed to work in a different family. | | | Initially languages for computers were created to make it easier for people to communicate their desires to the computing device. | | | XML is the language - it is a markup language. |

| | The Larch family of formal specification languages are intended for the precise specification of computing systems. | | | Unlike the Z notation, the Larch family has one language for algebraic specification of abstract data types (LSL, the Larch Shared Language), and a separate interface language tailored to each language in which programs are to be written ( Modula-3, C, Smalltalk, etc.). | | | The Larch project also developed tools to support the use of formal specifications, including LP, the Larch Prover. |

| | The "sharp" suffix has been emulated by a number of other.NET languages that are variants of existing languages, including J# (Microsoft's implementation of Java), A# (from Ada), F# (presumably from System F, the type system used by the ML family), and Gtk# (a.NET wrapper for GTK+). | | | C# is, in some sense, the programming language which most directly reflects the underlying.NET Framework on which all.NET programs run, and it depends strongly on this framework; there is no such thing as an unmanaged C# program. | | | The.NET Framework is a class library which can be used from a.NET language to perform tasks from simple data representation and string manipulation to generating dynamic web pages (ASP.NET), XML parsing and reflection. |

| | A programmer with a Windows or mainframe background, or a background in COBOL or the Algol-based family of languages (PL/1, Pascal, etc.), is especially prone to experiencing gotchas in Python, a language that evolved in a Unix environment and incorporates a number of conventions of the C family of programming languages (C, C++, Java). | | | Among computer programmers, a "gotcha" has become a term for a feature of a programming language that is likely to play tricks on you to display behavior that is different than what you expect. | | | This is a language feature that is so common on Unix that Unix programmers never think twice about it. |

| | Kids Be Safe : Article 'Portuguese language' |
| | The Ethnologue lists a total of fourteen (http://www.ethnologue.com/show_family.asp?subid=1270), but the number varies between seven and seventeen depending on how strict the intelligibility criterion is. The distinction between a single language and a language family has major political overtones, and the amount of emotion put into this issue arises from political implications. | | | To some, the description of Chinese as a language family implies that China should actually be considered several different nations, and challenges the notion that there is a single Han Chinese "race". | | | As with many areas that have been linguistically diverse for a long time, whether the speech of a particular area of China should be considered a language in its own right or a dialect of another is not always clear, and many of the languages do not have sharp boundaries between them. |
