  • Some Principles of the Use of Macro-Areas Language Dynamics &A
    Online Appendix for Harald Hammarstr¨om& Mark Donohue (2014) Some Principles of the Use of Macro-Areas Language Dynamics & Change Harald Hammarstr¨om& Mark Donohue The following document lists the languages of the world and their as- signment to the macro-areas described in the main body of the paper as well as the WALS macro-area for languages featured in the WALS 2005 edi- tion. 7160 languages are included, which represent all languages for which we had coordinates available1. Every language is given with its ISO-639-3 code (if it has one) for proper identification. The mapping between WALS languages and ISO-codes was done by using the mapping downloadable from the 2011 online WALS edition2 (because a number of errors in the mapping were corrected for the 2011 edition). 38 WALS languages are not given an ISO-code in the 2011 mapping, 36 of these have been assigned their appropri- ate iso-code based on the sources the WALS lists for the respective language. This was not possible for Tasmanian (WALS-code: tsm) because the WALS mixes data from very different Tasmanian languages and for Kualan (WALS- code: kua) because no source is given. 17 WALS-languages were assigned ISO-codes which have subsequently been retired { these have been assigned their appropriate updated ISO-code. In many cases, a WALS-language is mapped to several ISO-codes. As this has no bearing for the assignment to macro-areas, multiple mappings have been retained. 1There are another couple of hundred languages which are attested but for which our database currently lacks coordinates.

(PG) College, Kaithal (HR) INTRODUCTION India became free from British with the passing of independence Act 1947, this act divided country in to two independent states India and Pakistan. However, criteria about princely state act lay down under section 7(1) (B). After the transfer of powers to Indian hands some of the princely states demanded their independence under section 7(1) (B) and refused to unite to India. This act of princely states was not acceptable to the congress leaders. Out of 562, 556 princely states decided to join with Indian Union on the pretext their interest will be safe in the Indian union. Three states like Junagarh, Hyderabad and Jammu and Kashmir, opted to remain independent. Junagarh join the Indian Union after plebiscite, whereas Hyderabad forced to join the Indian Union. Third princely state of Jammu and Kashmir joined the Indian Union after a treaty between Maharaja Hari Singh and Jawaharlal Nehru, when it was attack by Pakistani guerrillas. The accession of the state to the Indian Union was partial solution to the problem as these states joined India only to three matters of defence, external affairs and communication. The new look of India after independence merged 216 states designated as part (A) states, 275 states designated as part (B) states and 6 states categories as (C) states.

Th@se Handbooks did not contain any statistics relating to indiyidual villages. Madras and certain other provinces and Indian States published village statistics of some districts at the 1921, 1931 and 1911 censuses. In Bihar also, there were proposals in 1921 and 1931 for publishing similar statistics, but they did ncit materialise. The idea of publishing Handbooks like this containing both district tables and statistics of area, popUlation, literacy and livelihood pattern for each . village besides other useful statistics relating -to the district owes its inception to Shri R.

  • A Linguistic Insight Into Hindi and Haryanvi Language
    International Journal of Innovations in TESOL and Applied Linguistics Vol. 5, Issue 3; 2020 ISSN 2454-6887 Published by ASLA, Amity University, Gurgaon, India © 2020 A Linguistic Insight into Hindi and Haryanvi Language Sangeeta Amity School of Liberal Arts Amity University Gurgaon, Haryana, India Received: Jan.10, 2020 Accepted: Jan.14, 2020 Online Published: Feb. 07, 2020 Abstract The prime objective of this study is to explore the similarities and differences between Hindi and Haryanvi language and words using lexicostatistical approach, word order, sentence structure, in doing so a representative sample of 130 basic words taken from Hindi (and English as a reference) followed by listing their equivalents in Haryanvi. The finding revealed 27 words with partial phonological similarity between Hindi and Haryanvi. Furthermore, the study also revealed that Haryanvi follows the same pattern of Hindi language, consonants, vowels, numerical and SOV. These two language belong to same family tree Devanagari and originated from Sanskrit. Introduction Hindi is the major language of India. Linguistically and as it is everyday spoken language, Hindi is virtually identical to Urdu, which is the national language of Pakistan. The two languages are often jointly referred to as Hindustani or Hindu-Urdu. The differences between them are found in formal situations and in writing. Whereas Urdu is written in a form of Arabic script, Hindi is written left to right in a script called Devanagari. Furthermore, much Urdu vocabulary derives from Persian / Arabic, while Sanskrit is the major supplier of Hindi words. Haryanvi language was the original language of Aryans who arrived in India 1500 BC.Haryanvi (हरयाणवी) is a dialect of the western Hindi group and it is written in Devanagari script.

  • Chapter One: Social, Cultural and Linguistic Landscape of India
    Chapter one: Social, Cultural and Linguistic Landscape of India 1.1 Introduction: India also known as Bharat is the seventh largest country covering a land area of 32, 87,263 sq.km. It stretches 3,214 km. from North to South between the extreme latitudes and 2,933 km from East to West between the extreme longitudes. On this 2.4 % of earth‟s surface, lives 16% of world‟s population. With a population of 1,028,737,436 variations is there at every step of life. India is a land of bewildering diversity. India is bounded by the Indian Ocean on the Figure 1.1: India in World Population south, the Arabian Sea on the west and the Bay of Bengal on the east. Many outsiders explored India via these routes. The whole of India is divided into twenty eight states and seven union territories. Each state has its own cultural and linguistic peculiarities and diversities. This diversity can be seen in every aspect of Indian life. Whether it is culture, language, script, religion, food, clothing etc. makes ones identity multi-dimensional. Ones identity lies in his language, his culture, caste, state, village etc. So one can say India is a multi-centered nation. Indian multilingualism is unique in itself. It has been rightly said, “Each part of India is a kind of replica of the bigger cultural space called India.” (Singh U. N, 2009). Also multilingualism in India is not considered a barrier but a boon. 17 Chapter One: Social, Cultural and Linguistic Landscape of India Languages act as bridges because it enables us to know about others.
