The English language.
The Origins of English.
The English language belongs to the Indio-European family of languages (sometimes called Aryan, or Indo-Germanic), which also includes Sanskrit (the classical language of India) and the various languages derived from it (Prakrit, Pali, Hindustani, etc), Old and Modern Persian, Classical and Modern Greek, Latin and its descendants (Italian, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Roumanian), Old Celtic (whit its modern derivations: Irish Erse, Scottish Gaelic, Welsh Cymric), Old Slavonic (from which Russian, Serbian, Polish, Czech and Bulgarian are derived), Baltic (including Lithuanian and Lettish), Albanian and other languages.
English is one of the tongues included in the Germanic group of Indo-European, together with Gothic (which represents East Germanic), Danish, Swedish, Norwegian and Icelandic (which are the North Germanic or Scandinavian tongues), and the languages of the West Germanic group: Old High German (which has developed into Modern German) and Low German (from which derive Old Frisian, Dutch, Flemish, and English itself).
English is spoken today as first language by nearly 304 million people (of which 233 in America and 58 in Europe), and is the language with the greatest international diffusion throughout the world.

Today, from my surfing: "Thank you so much for subscribing to Personal Liberty Digest. You are one of a growing number of thinking people who have decided to step outside of the vacuum that makes up the main stream media and shed conventional for true wisdom.
Each Monday through Friday you will receive an alert in your email that will provide you with the latest news and commentary on government, alternative medicine and asset and wealth protection. Here we expose the lies, deceit, misinformation and disinformation being spread as "truth" by the government, the manipulated media and the controlling elite.
Whether you agree with our point of view or not, I promise we will present to you the truth and will stand as a steadfast and vocal sentinel against the forces from within and without our country that seek to subvert our freedoms and control our lives for their own ends.
We welcome you, and we urge you to join in the discussion that forms at the end of each article, where a lively debate occurs between the readers and is often joined by the authors.
Best Wishes, Bob Livingston."
