Their language is thought to have been an Insular Celtic Language (Stokes & Whitley 312). Although no records of Pictish language remain it is believed to have been allied to P- Celtic, a language mainly spoken by Brittonic peoples (Galloway 97) which included; Welsh, Breton, Cumbric, and Cornish (Schoene-Harwood & Berthold 17).

The extinction of some languages Although there are more than 7,000 languages in the world, there lacks an equitable distribution of speakers. For example, Galla (2012) observes that 97 percent of the population of the earth speaks four percent of the world’s languages. One can flip this statistic around to reveal that only 3 percent of the world’s population speaks the remaining 96 percent of existing languages. What this means is that while the world has many languages, only a few of them are relevant owing to the broadness of its audience. They include English, Mandarin, Spanish, and Arabic. They have become so important that the number of second-language speakers of these languages has increased tremendously over the years. An increase in the number of speakers of English language as a second language, for example, has happened in the backdrop of a dwindling number of speakers for other languages, especially indigenous ones, some of which are now on the verge of extinction. Some languages have already vanished from the face of the earth and Galla (2012) believes that by the…

In fact, language itself has no class or nature, because the whole of society creates it.  Language and social classes tend to correlate and one pop up while the other is being expressed. (Holmes & Meyerhoff, 2008). Not only social class is an influence on language but also social networking, which is significantly applicable in the language spoken. The social network is a social structure that is made up of many nodes, which are always individually or organizationally related. It represents the social relationships through which various people or organizations are connected from casual acquaintances to close-knit family relationships. This attribute affects not only people’s language preferences but also people’s language patterns. The paper aims to discuss the role of the social network as far as the relationship between languages and social class are concerned. Language and social class Social class, as a factor in linguistic variations, can be divided into three parts:…

 language acquisition process My annotated bibliography will be focused around the language acquisition process. Since I was a young child, I have been able to speak two languages, English and Gujarati, without any problems or effort. However, when I attempted to learn a third language, Spanish, as a teenager, I struggled in every step. This made me question the acquisition abilities of children versus adults as to who is better suited to learn a new language. From my personal experiences, I have come to the conclusion that kids are superior to adults when it comes to learning a new language and expressing it exceptionally, even though they have not gained the level of knowledge that of adults. The significance of the topic I have chosen to focus on is to gain an understanding of why children are well equipped to learning new languages and when you should be teaching your kids to speak, along with which languages to speak because multilingual’s have an increased level of creativity and enhanced learning ability. So, my question(s) are as follow: Why is learning…
