LANGUAGE AND LINGUISTICS: RESOURCES:
Languages of the World

The main purpose of this website is to provide
information about the language families of the
world and their most important and populous
members, including their history, status, their
linguistic characteristics, and their writing in
as simple and concise a way as possible.
We base this website on the belief that all
languages have evolved from the need of human
beings to express their thoughts, beliefs, and
desires, that all languages meet the social,
psychological, and survival needs of people
who use them. In this sense, all languages,
no matter how small and remote, are equal.
All equally deserve study because all of them
provide valuable insights into human nature.
