DIFERENT LANGUAGES
Posted: Wed Oct 14, 2009 4:38 pm1.- YIDDISH:
Yiddish was the international language of Ashkenazic Jews (the Jews of Central and Eastern Europe and their descendants). A hybrid of Hebrew and medieval German, Yiddish takes about three-quarters of its vocabulary from German, but borrows words liberally from Hebrew and many other languages from the many lands where Ashkenazic Jews have lived. It has a grammatical structure all its own, and is written in an alphabet based on Hebrew characters. Scholars and universities classify Yiddish as a Germanic language, though some have questioned that classification.
Actually there are 3.000.000 people who speak yiddish.
2.-MAORI:
The Māori are the indigenous Polynesian people of New Zealand. There are about 700.000 people who speak maori.
3.- TAMIL:
Tamil was the first Indian language to be given classical status. It has the oldest extant literature amongst other Dravidian languages.The art and architecture of the Tamil people encompass some of the notable contributions of India and South-East Asia to the art world. There are about 70.000.000 people who speak Tamil
