			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;"><img class="alignleft" src="http://juliunizeer.myce101.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/superiorrugs.jpg" alt="" width="292" height="168" />While some of us lack the talent and most importantly the skills in writing, some were blessed to have these imperatives and make good in their field of specialty-the writing process. Nowadays, people who are good in making quality write ups have the upper hand in opportunities such as advertising and marketing. With the help of their competent skills in writing, they are able to convince people on what product to able and to whom should people buy it. Let’s take the case of rugs for example.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;"><span id="more-78"></span>Advertising rugs is never an easy thing to do. You are about to convince a person of possibly the people to buy or purchase something which is at some point, already available in their homes. This is where the site Superior rugs.com excels. They have the word power to convince people to avail of their stuff. Such write ups showcase such feats such as <a href="http://www.superiorrugs.com/rugs/final-clearance-rugs/final-clearance-rugs.htm" target="_blank">rugs</a> which are very convenient and efficient to use. They are able to advertise their <a href="http://www.superiorrugs.com/" target="_blank">cheap rugs</a> which as they say, are very appropriate to use in every places it should be. And with their triumph card-their <a href="http://www.superiorrugs.com/rugs/clearance-rugs/clearance-rugs.htm" target="_blank">area rugs</a>, they were able to attract many people to come and try their product. Such things will be a proof of a writer’s master piece-be able to advertise a thing which is often time taken for granted.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">In the field of advertising, those people who were given the luxury to learn how to write quality outputs control the game, for as they say, “a pen is mightier than a sword.” Words can express what actions cannot. Writing is one of the skills that will lead people to their success if they are able to utilize their potentials and talents. As for the Superiorrugs.com, they have shown that quality writers and quality write ups make good advertisements.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">Studying a new language entails patience, intelligent effort and enthusiasm to learn the language. There are some people who easily learn a language. After a few communicative contacts with the native speakers, they already possess the skill in using the language for conversational purposes. Rizal, for instance, is said to have learned conversational Japanese in just a few weeks of his stay in Japan. Soon after he met a beautiful Japanese lady named O-sei-san, he was able to speak the language fairly well. There are those who have not only patience in learning the language but a great interest in it so much so that they acquire a considerable degree of mastery of the language, just after some few sessions in learning the language.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;"><span id="more-69"></span>When I first studied Japanese, I was a bit disconcerted because it is as though I was learning an entirely new habit. You have to learn the basic cultural notions of the language because for all we know language and culture are inseparable. Sometimes I used to think of myself as a native Japanese speaker who has both the psyche and cognitive assumption of the native speaker while using the language in order to acquire both the spirit and essence of the language. When I felt some sorts of boredom and monotony on what I am doing, I try to amuse myself by playing <a href="http://www.gamblingpub.com/" target="_blank"><strong>online</strong><strong> casino</strong></a> games. My friend who lives in the US related that he really enjoy playing usa<strong> <a href="http://www.dmoz.org/Games/Gambling/Casinos/" target="_blank">online casinos</a></strong>. It gives him the relaxation he needs even in just a short period of time. Spending a couple of minutes in <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Online_casino" target="_blank"><strong>wiki casinos</strong></a> is really a relaxing outlet.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">The next time I resume my Japanese lesson, I will try to think of learning the language as playing a casino game. Is that not exciting?</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">For the first few times, just get into the rhythm and copy the one-handed sign alphabet.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;"><span id="more-63"></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">At the same time, you&#8217;ll be seeing the pictures out of the corner of your eye. It&#8217;s ok to peek at other things going on the screen.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">As you get the words linked into the pictures - which are linked into the letters - which are linked into the rhythm, try to let it all become a part of you. If possible, try NOT to memorize the textual <strong>&#8216;dot dash&#8217;</strong> renderings of the morse code.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">Just sing the words to the rhythm and you&#8217;ll have the Morse-code alphabet already.</span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">Language learning in schools always frustrate the learner but if you do it on your own, you have the opportunity to do it at your own pace and with what interests you the most.</span></p>
<div align="center"><object width="425" height="344" data="http://www.youtube.com/v/tYO5aw4wPHE&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/tYO5aw4wPHE&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /></object></div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">This is a great video that you can use as resource material if you want to start learning Spanish, French, German, Chinese, Nihongo, etc. Thru this tutorial it will surely improve your language speaking drastically. I have channel now that you all can come to and check out for information about learning languages. So come check it out and please subscribe!</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;"> </span></p>

It is a cross of Rosetta Stone. I think it would be the best by far. It gives you pictures, a native speaker telling you how to say it and how to spell it. You also can communicate with other people learning the same language all around the world. When you submit your writing in another language a native speak could help you with that. To complete the courses, you must do speaking and writing exercises. Natives will review them, help you, make friends, and help others learning your native language.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">Try mango is really cool but after the first lesson it is no longer free. To continue you must play a subsciption that is $50+.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">Whatever project or activity you would want to accomplish, you need funding for the same. A businessman who wants to purchase materials for his new product line needs instant cash. An entrepreneur who considers an expansion of his business likewise needs immediate fund to grab the urgency of the moment. Even a student who wants to purchase new books or pay his tuition fee is also in need of cash.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;"><span id="more-58"></span><br />
</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">A friend of mine who specializes in linguistics in his bachelor’s degree has planned to enroll for his MA on the same field. He enrolled lately for two foreign languages, French and Chinese Mandarin, to hone his skills for linguistic analysis. But he has got no money to further finance his studies. Then suddenly, he came across an online credit firm which grants personal loans, business loans and some other forms of business credit for interesting private individuals. <a href="http://www.ezunsecured.com/" target="_blank">Personal loans</a> available from such online loan firms are practically among the best offers he had ever met so far. Through some personal loans, he was able to finish his thesis writing for his MA. Now he operates a new business of his own by applying for <a href="http://www.ezunsecured.com/" target="_blank">Business loans</a> from the same firm. <a href="http://www.BusinessCreditMagic.com/" target="_blank">Business credit</a> is practically helpful in times of urgent needs like this.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">Perhaps, I may apply for business loans for my pet project&#8212; a surprise which will really make my parents proud of me.</span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><strong><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">A. Language Extinction</span></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;"><img class="alignright" src="http://www.polyglotter.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/On%20the%20Existence%20of%20Language%20-Extinct,%20Dead%20or%20Endagered.jpg" alt="" width="202" height="256" />An extinct language is a language which no longer has any speakers, whereas a dead language is a language which is no longer spoken by anyone as their main language. Normally this conversion to an extinct language occurs when a language undergoes language death while being directly replaced by a different one. For example: Coptic, which was replaced by Arabic, and many Native American languages, which were replaced by English, French, Spanish, or Portuguese.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">Language extinction also occurs when a language undergoes rapid evolution or assimilation until it eventually gives birth to an offspring, i.e., a dissimilar language or family of language. Such is the case with Old English which is the parent of Modern English.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">In some cases, an extinct language remains in use for scientific, legal, or ecclesiastical functions. Old Church Slavonic, Avestan, Coptic, Old Tibetan and Ge&#8217;ez are among the many extinct languages used as sacred languages.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">Hebrew is an example of a nearly extinct spoken language that became a <strong>lingua franca</strong> and a liturgical language that has been revived to become a living spoken language.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;"><span id="more-22"></span><br />
</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">The following are the list of extinct languages (last speakers and date of extinction included) with last known speaker and/or date of death.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><strong><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">B. Language Death</span></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;"><img class="alignright" src="http://www.polyglotter.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/Language%20Death.jpg" alt="" width="174" height="260" />In linguistics, language death (also language extinction, linguistic extinction, and sometimes pejoratively as linguicide) is a process that affects speech communities where the level of linguistic competence that speakers possess of a given language idiom is decreased.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">Total language death occurs when there are no speakers of a given language idiom remaining in a population where the idiom was previously used (i.e. when all native speakers die). Language death may affect any language idiom, including dialects and languages.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">The study of language loss at the individual level focuses on what is lost - a first language (L1) or a second language (L2) - and where it is lost - in an L1 or L2 environment.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><strong><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">B.1.Manifestations of Language Death</span></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">Language death may manifest itself in one of the following ways:</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; padding-left: 30px;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;"><span> </span>* gradual language death</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; padding-left: 30px;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;"><span> </span>* bottom-to-top language death</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; padding-left: 30px;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;"><span> </span>* radical language death</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; padding-left: 30px;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;"><span> </span>* linguicide (a.k.a. sudden language death, language death by genocide, physical language death, biological language death)</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">The most common process leading to language death is one in which a community of speakers of one language becomes bilingual in another language, and gradually shifts allegiance to the second language until they cease to use their original (or heritage) language. This is a process of assimilation which may be voluntary or may be forced upon a population. Speakers of some languages, particularly regional or minority languages may decide to abandon them based on economic or utilitarian grounds, in favour of languages regarded as having greater utility or prestige. Languages can also die when their speakers are wiped out by genocide, disease, or the rare event of devastating natural catastrophe.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">A language is often declared to be dead even before the last native speaker of the language has died. If there are only a few elderly speakers of a language remaining, and they no longer use that language for communication, then the language is effectively dead. A language that has reached such a reduced stage of use is generally considered moribund. The process of attrition occurs when intergenerational transmission of a &#8220;heritage language&#8221;, mother tongue or native language has effectively stopped. This is rarely a sudden event, but a slow process of each generation learning less and less of the language, until its use is relegated to the domain of traditional use, such as in poetry and song. For example, a family&#8217;s adults may speak in an older native language, but when they have children, they may not pass on this language, and therefore the language dies in that family. One example of this process reaching its conclusion is that of the Dalmatian language.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><strong><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">B.2. Dead Languages and Normal Language Change</span></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">Linguists distinguish between language &#8220;death&#8221; and the process where a language becomes a &#8220;dead language&#8221; through normal language change, a linguistic phenomenon similar to pseudoextinction. This happens when a language in the course of its normal development gradually morphs into something that is then recognized as a separate, different language, leaving the old form with no native speakers. Thus, for example, Old English may be regarded as a &#8220;dead language&#8221;, with no native speakers, although it has never &#8220;died&#8221; but instead simply changed and developed into Modern English. The process of language change may also involve the splitting up of a language into a family of several daughter languages, leaving the common parent language &#8220;dead&#8221;. This has happened to Latin, which (through Vulgar Latin) eventually developed into the family of Romance languages. Such a process is normally not described as &#8220;language death&#8221;, because it involves an unbroken chain of normal transmission of the language from one generation to the next, with only minute changes at every single point in the chain. There is thus no one point where &#8220;Latin died&#8221;.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><strong><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;"><span> </span>1. Endangered Language</span></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;"><img class="alignright" src="http://www.polyglotter.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/Endangered%20Language.jpg" alt="" width="228" height="199" />An endangered language is a language that it is at risk of falling out of use, generally because it has few surviving speakers. If it loses all of its native speakers, it becomes an extinct language.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">While there is no definite threshold for identifying a language as endangered, three main criteria are used as guidelines:</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; padding-left: 30px;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;"><span> </span>1. The number of speakers currently living.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; padding-left: 30px;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;"><span> </span>2. The mean age of native and/or fluent speakers.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; padding-left: 30px;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;"><span> </span>3. The percentage of the youngest generation acquiring fluency with the language in question.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">Some languages, such as those in Indonesia, may have tens of thousands of speakers but be endangered because children are no longer learning them, and speakers are in the process of shifting to using the national language Indonesian (or a local Malay variety) in place of local languages.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">In contrast, a language with only 100 speakers might be considered very much alive if it is the primary language of a community, and is the first (or only) language of all children in that community (most of Andaman languages, actually spoken).</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">Some linguists (among them, Michael Krauss and Stephen Wurm) argue that at least 3,000 of the world&#8217;s 6,000-7,000 languages are liable to be lost before the year 2100.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">One view holds that this is a problem and the extinction of languages should be prevented, even at significant cost. A number of reasons are cited, including:</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;"><span> </span>* An enormous number of languages represent a vast, largely unmapped terrain on which linguists, cognitive scientists, and philosophers can chart the full capabilities and limits of the mind;</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;"><span> </span>* languages embody unique local knowledge of cultures and natural systems in the regions in which they are spoken and such diversity is essential for promoting scientific and technological progress since it is the interaction of ideas that is one of the major generators of human invention; and</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;"><span> </span>* Languages serve as evidence for understanding human history</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><strong><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">The following are examples of endangered languages:</span></strong></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://www.polyglotter.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/A%20person%20who%20speaks%20several%20languages%20is%20called%20a%20polyglot.jpg" alt="" width="383" height="167" /></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><strong><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">The following individuals are some of the world&#8217;s famous polyglots who claimed to speak 10 or more languages:</span></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><strong><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">Pamulaparthi Venkata Narasimha Rao</span></strong><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;"> (28 June 1921 – 23 December 2004) was the 12th Prime Minister of the Republic of India. He led one of the most important administrations in India&#8217;s modern history, overseeing a major economic transformation and several incidents affecting national security. Narasimha Rao was popularly known as PV. PV studied at Fergusson College and at the Universities of Mumbai and Nagpur where he obtained Bachelor&#8217;s and Master&#8217;s degrees in law. He was a polyglot and could speak 13 languages including Urdu, Marathi, Kannada, Hindi, Telugu and English with a fluency akin to a native speaker. His mother tongue was Telugu. In addition to seven Indian languages, he spoke English, French, Arabic, Spanish and Persian. Along with his cousin Pamulaparthi Sadasiva Rao, PV edited a Telugu weekly magazine called </span><em><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: &quot;Comic Sans MS&quot;;">Kakatiya Patrika</span></em><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;"> from 1948 to 1955.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><strong><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">Sir John Bowring</span></strong><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">, (17 October 1792 – 23 November 1872) was an English political economist, traveller, miscellaneous writer and polyglot, and the 4th Governor of Hong Kong.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;"><span id="more-14"></span><img class="alignright" src="http://www.polyglotter.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/Sir%20John%20Bowring.jpg" alt="" width="173" height="221" />Bowring was born in Exeter of an old Puritan family. In early life he came under the influence of Jeremy Bentham, and later became his friend. He did not, however, share Bentham&#8217;s contempt for </span><em><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: &quot;Comic Sans MS&quot;;">belles lettres</span></em><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">. He was a diligent student of literature and foreign languages, especially those of Eastern  Europe.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">Bowring ranked with Giuseppe Caspar Mezzofanti and Hans Conon von der Gabelentz among the world&#8217;s greatest hyperpolyglots — his talent enabling him at last to say that he knew 200 languages, and could speak 100. The first fruits of his study of foreign literature appeared in </span><em><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: &quot;Comic Sans MS&quot;;">Specimens of the Russian Poets (1821–1823). These were followed by Batavian Anthology (1824), Ancient Poetry and Romances of Spain (1824), Specimens of the Polish Poets, and Serbian Popular Poetry, both in 1827, and Poetry of the Magyars</span></em><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;"> (1830).</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><strong><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;"><img class="alignright" src="http://www.polyglotter.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/Ziad%20Youssef%20Fazah.jpg" alt="" width="200" height="245" />Ziad Youssef Fazah</span></strong><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;"> (born June 10, 1954 in Monrovia, Liberia) is a Lebanese polyglot who has at least some notions of almost 60 languages. He has proved this in several television shows, where he successfully has communicated with native speakers of a large number of foreign languages. He was considered the world&#8217;s greatest polyglot (greatest living linguist) by the 1993 UK edition of the Guinness Book of Records.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">Fazah does not use all of his languages on a regular basis. As can be expected, his fluency is higher in certain languages that he has more contact with (Portuguese, Arabic, German, French, English, Spanish, etc.) and limited in languages that he has hardly spoken in years (Cambodian, Dzongkha, Finnish, etc.). Before being submitted to a televised language test he asks to be told which languages he will be required to speak and the general topics that will be discussed. After about a week of preparation Fazah feels confident speaking on television in any of his languages.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">Raised in Lebanon, he has lived in Brazil since the 1970s, where he works as a private teacher of languages in Rio de Janeiro.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">List of Fazah&#8217;s languages from the cover of one of his books:</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">Albanian, Amharic, Arabic, Armenian, Azeri, Bengali, Bulgarian, Burmese, Cambodian, Cantonese, Czech, Danish, Dutch, Cypriot, Dzongkha, English, Fijian, Finnish, French, German, Greek, Hebrew, Hindi, Hungarian, Icelandic, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Kyrgyz, Lao, Malagasy, Malay, Maltese, Mandarin, Mongolian, Nepali, Norwegian, Papiamento, Pashto, Persian, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Serbo-Croatian, Singapore Colloquial English, Sinhalese, Spanish, Swahili, Swedish, Tajik, Thai, Tibetan, Turkish, Urdu, Uzbek, Vietnamese and Wu.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">Ziad Fazah quotes himself as speaking 59 languages. Although, some may say Cyriot is just a dialect of Turkish, not separate as a language, making his language count 58.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><strong><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;"><img class="alignright" src="http://www.polyglotter.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/Professor%20Alexander%20Arguelles.gif" alt="" width="190" height="230" />Professor Alexander Arguelles</span></strong><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;"> was born in 1964 into an exclusively English-speaking American household. However, he lived in various parts of Europe during his earliest years, and throughout his childhood. Furthermore, his father is a scholarly polyglot whose shelves are filled with books in many different tongues.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">A Professor of Linguistics, he spent nearly a decade in Korea following a monk-like life style, while he dedicated his time to studying Korean, Classical Chinese and Japanese in a comparative context, as he taught at the Handong University. Following his marriage and the completion of the Korean studies, Arguelles relocated to Lebanon, where he resided studying Arabic and teaching Linguistics at the American University of Science and Technology in Beirut, until in July of 2006 he and his family were forced to flee Lebanon under the Israeli bombs.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">Dr. Arguelles has co-written and published a number of books in his field. He teaches linguistics in California. In his spare time he moderates a language forum on the internet and continues to write. He is also working on a plan of creating a private academy for training polyglots.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">Dr. Arguelles has knowledge of more than 34 languages, including Korean, Russian, and Arabic.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><strong><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;"><img class="alignright" src="http://www.polyglotter.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/Dr.%20Jos%e9%20P.%20Rizal.jpg" alt="" width="179" height="211" />Dr. José P. Rizal</span></strong><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;"> (full name: <strong>José Protasio Rizal Mercado y Alonso Realonda</strong>) (June 19, 1861 – December 30, 1896) was a Filipino polymath, nationalist and the most prominent advocate for reforms in the Philippines during the Spanish colonial era. He is considered the Philippines&#8217; national hero and the anniversary of Rizal&#8217;s death is commemorated as a Philippine holiday called </span><em><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: &quot;Comic Sans MS&quot;;">Rizal Day</span></em><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">. Rizal&#8217;s 1896 military trial and execution made him a martyr of the Philippine Revolution.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">Rizal was a polyglot conversant in at least ten languages.He was a prolific poet, essayist, diarist, correspondent, and novelist whose most famous works were his two novels, </span><em><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: &quot;Comic Sans MS&quot;;">Noli me Tangere and El Filibusterismo</span></em><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;"> </span></p>

Its pre-eminence decreased in the late 1950s and 1960s, after the emergence of Generative Grammar.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;"> </span></p>
