They don't have to move anywhere Aug 9, 2013

most American sources use "primary language" -- not "native" It would be only 308 million, I was good at math. But I am really on vacation from this thread.

Mother tongue Aug 9, 2013

I presume there are as many objections to this term, although it is probably the more common term globally?

This is a term invented by the Catholic Church Aug 9, 2013

I just realized that I really love Tolkien -- he might be have been one of the few people who would understand exactly what I have been talking about for days. He was a really fine linguist -- with a great linguistic sensitivity. I mostly agree with his ideas about various types of languages.
