Spoken Languages

Famous quotes containing the words spoken and/or languages:

    ...and all the people answered with one voice, and said, “All the words that the LORD has spoken we will do.”
    Bible: Hebrew, Exodus 24:2.

    The very natural tendency to use terms derived from traditional grammar like verb, noun, adjective, passive voice, in describing languages outside of Indo-European is fraught with grave possibilities of misunderstanding.
    Benjamin Lee Whorf (1897–1934)
