updated 4-16-2002 Afrikaans (Indo-Hittite) belongs to the Franconian sub-branch of the Continental West Germanic sub-branch of the West Germanic sub-branch of the Germanic sub-branch of the Indo-European branch of the Indo-Hittite family of languages. It is written with the Latin alphabet, and is the lingua franca of the Republic of South Africa. Although derived from the language of the Dutch settlers there, it also has been influenced a lot by native African languages. 636.005 Agroanimalia. - Pretoria : A281 RID: --- ITEM #: afr00011 630.2405 Agrochemophysica. - Pretoria : A281 RID: 70-612638 ITEM #: afr00008 630.5 Agroplantae. - Pretoria : A2812 RID: 71-612641 ITEM #: afr00009 439.3632 Bosman, Daniel Brink, 1888- B743t Tweetalige woordeboek. -- 4., hersiene Ref. en sterk vermeerderde uitgawe. -- Kaapstad : Nasionale Boekhandel, 1962.

updated 2-6-2003 Flemish (Indo-Hittite) belongs to the Franconian sub-branch of the Continental West Germanic sub-branch of the West Germanic sub-branch of the Germanic sub-branch of the Indo-European branch of the Indo-Hittite family of languages. Flemish is spoken in the country of Belgium. It is essentially the same language as Dutch, but over time cultural and religious distinctions have led to their being treated as two separate languages. Flemish is also called Flamand(s) and Vlaams. It is written with the Latin alphabet. 599.7 Institut des parcs nationaux du Congo belge I59e Exploration du Parc National Albert. -- Bruxelles : Title page in French and Flemish.

updated 2-6-2003 Frisian (Indo-Hittite) belongs to the Ingweonic sub-branch of the West Germanic sub-branch of the Germanic sub-branch of the Indo-European branch of the Indo-Hittite family of languages. Thus, Frisian is the language most closely related to English. Frisian is spoken in the Friesland province of the Netherlands, and on the Frisian Islands (off the coast of the Netherlands and Germany). It is written with the Latin alphabet. 439.2 Postma, G P858L Lytse Fryske spraekleare it Westerlauwerskom 1900 hinne oangeande / fen G.

updated 9-9-2003 Germanic (Indo-Hittite) is one of the sub-branches of the Indo-European branch of the Indo-Hittite family of languages. Germanic in turn has sub-branches: East Germanic, North Germanic, and West Germanic, each with a number of languages. The languages of the West Germanic branch, particularly English and German, are very widely spoken; thus, Germanic languages are known in all parts of the world.

updated 4-3-2002 Gothic (Indo-Hittite) belongs to the East Germanic sub-branch of the Germanic sub-branch of the Indo-European branch of the Indo-Hittite family of languages. Gothic was spoken until the sixth century in two dialects, Visigothic and Ostrogothic. A third dialect was found extant in the Crimea area in the 1560's, and is now called Crimean Gothic. It became extinct shortly after its discovery. Ancient Gothic was written with its own alphabet, based on the Greek. 439.98242 Bennett, William Holmes B472i An introduction to the Gothic language RID: 65-6300 ITEM #: got00001 936.4 Dillon, Myles, 1900-1972 D579c The Celtic realms / Myles Dillon and Nora K.

updated 3-7-2001 Icelandic (Indo-Hittite) belongs to the West Norse sub-branch of the Scandinavian or North Germanic sub-branch of the Germanic sub-branch of the Indo-European branch of the Indo-Hittite family of languages. Because of its insular isolation, Icelandic is much closer to Old Norse, the language of the Vikings, than are the other Scandinavian languages. It is written with the Latin alphabet, but includes the letters "eth" (written as a "D" with a cross-mark) and "thorn" (written as if a small "b" were superimposed over a small "p"); these letters are no longer familiar to readers of modern English. Icelandic is the national language of the country of Iceland. 439.6 Cleasby, Richard, 1797-1847 C623i An Icelandic-English dictionary 1957 Ref.

updated 1-8-2003 Old Norse (Indo-Hittite) belongs to the North Germanic or Scandinavian sub-branch of the Germanic sub-branch of the Indo-European branch of the Indo- Hittite family of languages. Old Norse was spoken throughout Scandinavia and the North Atlantic region, from about 700 - 1100 A.D., reaching as far as Ireland, the Isle of Man, and the "Danelaw" in the British Isles and also to Normandy in France. It was the language used by the Vikings. Roughly about 1100, Old Norse split into East Norse and West Norse, which later gave rise to the modern Scandinavian languages, beginning about 1250 A.D. Early Old Norse was written with Viking runes; later, runes continued to be used, side by side with the Latin alphabet -- but the Norse added a few letters of their own to the latter. 839.609 Aebischer, Paul, 1897- A246t Textes norrois & litterature francaise du Moyen Age. -- Geneve : RID: a54-5790 ITEM #: nrs00001 841.1 Chrestien de Troyes, 12th cent.

updated 4-3-2002 Yiddish (Indo-Hittite) belongs to the same sub-branch of the Continental West Germanic sub-branch of the West Germanic sub-branch of the Germanic sub-branch of the Indo-European branch of the Indo-Hittite family as does German. Yiddish is the variety of German spoken by the Jews in Germany since the Middle Ages, when Jews migrated to Germany from northern France; it also is spoken in Poland, Lithuania and Russia. Its vocabulary is 10% Hebrew, 10% Slavic, and 80% German. Until recently, Yiddish was understood by the majority of Jewish people around the world; now younger generations are tending to use the languages of their various homelands. Yiddish is written with the Hebrew alphabet, with the addition of characters for the vowels. 839.110080973 American Yiddish poetry : a bilingual anthology. - A51294 [S.l.] : University of California Press, 1986 RID: -- ITEM #: yid00024 398.9391 Ayalti, Hanan J., 1910- , ed.
