ECTACO Info | Canada's Language Map Looks Way Different Without English Or French

Image
Take English and French out of Canada, and you have a very different-looking country. Data visualizers at  The 10 and 3  have done just that, producing an  interactive map that shows which tongues are spoken most often at home besides the country's official languages. They came up with the map by separating the country into "census divisions." They then discerned a language's popularity by looking at the number of people who speak it at home within those regions. For much of the country, the tongue most spoken at home is any number of traditional indigenous languages, such as Inuktitut, Cree, Dene and Ojibway. This is particularly true in regions including Nunavut, the Northwest Territories, Manitoba, northern Ontario, Quebec and Labrador. But though you might assume that's the case in vast swaths of northern Canada, what you'll actually find is that Tagalog and Arabic are among the most prominent languages spoken in the home in those parts.

ECTACO Info | What Languages Reveal about Other Cultures

Posted on 03. Jun, 2015 by  meaghan  in  Language Learning “A different language is a different vision of life.” – Federico Fellini It sounds like one of those motivational phrases you’d read on a daily quote calendar. You might nod your head in agreement or make a quick internal “aww”, but in reality, you’re not totally buying it. It just sounds…  fluffy , right? But those of us who have learned, or are learning, another language, we know that behind the warm, fuzzy feeling, there’s a real sentiment to that statement. A language can hide bits and pieces of a society’s culture, and learning that language discloses the details. In Japan, for example, the highly valued qualities of honor and respect are literally built in to the language . The language employs various honorifics to demonstrate polite, respectful, and humble speech. Honorifics are also used to “beautify” words; even daily objects are spoken of with a reverence in Japanese. The prefix “O”, roug...

ECTACO Info: German spoken as a first language in Europe

Image
info by  http://one-europe.info/   German is the mother tongue of millions of people throughout Europe. German speaking communities in Europe German is the most widely spoken native language in the European Union.  It is the mother tongue not only for people in Germany, but also for millions of others all over Europe. From Denmark to Romania  and from Poland to Italy and France, there are centuries old traditional German speaking communities. On this topic, it's interesting to point out that the new President of Romania - Klaus Iohannis - (elected last November) is actually a member of the  German minority from Transylvania . Are there any other  German communities in Europe  that are not represented on the map? Did you know about all these  native German speaking areas ? What other minorities of other language groups are there in Europe? ECTACO Info www.ectacoinc.de
