click fraud protection

all languages ​​spoken on the planet, have approximately identical structure complexity.According to researchers, there is no primitive dialect.Each dialect perfectly adapted to reflect the cultural expressions and speaking to him nationalities.

say exactly how many there are today adverbs difficult.Unresolved is the question of how is the development of language.In addition, there is no certainty that all the dialects, dialects, dialects that exist in the world, known to science.According to some conservative estimates, the number of participants in the world idioetnicheskih languages ​​ranging from two and a half to three thousand.In accordance with a maximum rated amount dialects several times more.

There are basic dialectical family.This classification includes traditionally allocated to language groups.They are divided according to geographical groupings.In this point the main or all of the members of the linguistic groups and sub-branches, as well as the most well-known dialects.

first established with the help of the comparative historical method was the Indo-European family.Once opened Sanskrit, many researchers (Russian, French, Italian, German, Danish, etc.) engaged in the study of signs of active relationship in different dialects of Asia and Europe, similar in appearance.German researchers have called this group "Indo-Germanic" (and sometimes still call it so).However, in other countries, this term does not apply.

Separate language groups included in the Indo-European family first - is the Greek (which is the only Greek dialects), Iranian, Indian (Indo-Aryan).It also includes Italic branch.It was originally the Latin language.Subsequently formed numerous descendants of this branch.Thus, formed modern Romance, Celtic, Baltic, Germanic, Slavic language group.Also included are isolated and Albanian and Armenian dialects.These language groups have recognized the related features.In connection with this are mixed dialects.For example, there are an Indo-Iranian, Balto-Slavic languages.

Indo-European family is inferior to the number of dialects that make it, to other families.However, it is the most common and geographically the largest number of speakers (even if you do not take into account all the people who are used as a second language Spanish, French, English, Russian, Portuguese and many others).

Ural family includes two branches.The number of dialects belonging to the family, more than twenty, if you take a single Sami language.If we consider the Sami dialects separately, the total number of dialects is around forty.

Finno-Ugric language group is considered to be large enough.The total number of speakers - about twenty million people.This includes the Baltic-Finnish (Estonian and Finnish), Ugric (Hungarian, Mansi, Khanty), Finno-Volga (Mari and Mordvin dialects), Perm subgroup (Zyryan Komi and Permian Komi and Udmurt languages).A special place is Sami dialect.

second branch of the Ural family - Samoyeds.

It should be noted that some linguistic groups that are part of this family are in the process of extinction.These include, in particular, include small Finnic dialects (except Veppsian).Of the four languages ​​is one Samoyed - Nenets.Perhaps that was gone and Vodskaya dialect.

According to most researchers, the language emerged about half a million years ago.However, some authors refer to other figures.This still remains unclear the process of language education.
