| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Hebrew Language and Literature |
 | | In fine, it may be noted that Hebrew syntax, like that of the Semitic languages generally, is very elementary and simple-long and involved periods or sentences being entirely foreign to either the prose or poetic writings of the Old Testament. | | | In New-Testament usage the current Aramaic of the time is frequently called Hebrew (hebrais dialektos, Acts 21:40; 22:2; 26:14), not in the strict sense of the word, but because it was the dialect in use among the Jews of Palestine. | | | The existence in remote antiquity of the Chanaanitish language is vouched for by conclusive monumental evidence. |

| | Language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | The world's languages have been grouped into families of languages that are believed to have common ancestors. | | | This, however, may not be a scientific question, but is perhaps more one of definition. | | | This resulted in the academic discipline of linguistics, the founding of which is attributed to Ferdinand de Saussure. |

| | Through Koine Greek it is also traced the origin of Christianity, as the Apostles used it to preach in Greece and the Greek-speaking world. | | | The ancient languages which were probably most closely related to it, ancient Macedonian (which may have been a dialect of Greek) and Phrygian, are not well enough documented to permit detailed comparison. | | | See Ancient Greek phonology, History of the Greek language and Iotacism for historical issues. |

| | For those who didn't speaks Tatar language it was advised: "kali chto pa-tatarsku nie umieje, to pa-rusku niachaj abrakajecca" (for those who don't know Tatar, you should speak Ruthenian). | | | And although they too have experienced the influence of Belarusian language, they could not possibly enter into the Belarusian language for that simple reason that those writings were essentially inaccessible for the Belarusian people: Belarusians neither had physical access to it, nor understood the writing system. | | | Beginning with the 14th century Tatars started moving to Belarus, some as prisoners of war, others voluntarily, in search of better life. |

| | This shouldn't be taken to mean any of this would only be of interest to the professionally interested, though. | | | This second edition of The Cambridge Encyclopedia of Language presents a mass of new information and introduces the subject of language to a fresh generation of students and general readers. | | | In a sense it could be just as usefully called an encyclopedia of linguistics, as it provides as much information on research and theories of language as it does on the language itself. |
