APHG Language Project - DUE January 20, 2011



Time for a Power Point activity on languages!

Go to I Love Languages. Select two languages from the list. One must be a language that you are familiar with, and one must be a language that you never heard of.

You will construct a 20 - slide Power point presentation that covers the following concepts:

1. Has a minimum of one map that displays where the 
    languages are spoken.
2. Identifies the language family, language group,
    language subfamily.
3. Whether or not the languages are an official language.
4. Do the languages contain a dialect or lingua franca? If
    so, how do these differ from the standard form of the
    langauges? Please use EXAMPLES!
5. Do the languages contain an isogloss or contain
    examples of a toponymy?
6. Have the languages been creolized? Examples?

This grade will count as a test. If you would like to present your project, you will get an additional 100!!!
