Asked by Wiki User

There are aproximatly 1,376,000,000 white people in the world which represent 20,25% of the world's population.To get this number I calculated every European and caucasian people (ethnic group).For example there are 3,900,660 Irish people in the Republic of Ireland and 80,000,000 Irish people in the whole word so it's important to make the difference between the nationality and the people.The most significant white peoples are the Germans(160m) the Spaniards(152m) Italians(140m) Russians(140m) the French people(130m) the English people(90m) the Irish people(80m) the Poles(60m) and the Ukrainians(50m).I didn't count the peoples close to the europeans like the Arabs (350m), the Jews (13m),and the Turkic peoples (116m) (Turks,Kazakhs,Azerbaijanis,Uzbeks...)I didn't count either the mixed-races (very numerous in south America).

The study of the language symbols laws and values of a society would be part of which branch of anthropology?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

إن دراسة قوانين وقيم رموز اللغة في المجتمع تتعلق بفرع الأنثروبولوجيا المعروف باسم اللغويات الثقافية أو الأنثروبولوجيا اللغوية. هذا الفرع يهتم بدراسة اللغة ودورها في التفاعل الاجتماعي والثقافي. يركز الأنثروبولوجيون اللغويون على فهم كيفية استخدام اللغة لإنتاج المعاني والمعرفة وتشكيل الهويات وتنظيم العلاقات الاجتماعية.

تتضمن دراسة الأنثروبولوجيا اللغوية أيضًا تحليل النظم اللغوية المحددة التي يستخدمها المجتمع، بما في ذلك القوانين والقيم التي تنظم استخدام اللغة وتفسيرها. يتم فحص العلاقة بين اللغة والثقافة والسلطة والهوية والجندر والطبقة الاجتماعية والعديد من العوامل الأخرى التي تؤثر في استخدام اللغة في المجتمع.

لذلك، يمكن القول أن دراسة قوانين وقيم رموز اللغة في المجتمع تندرج تحت فرع الأنثروبولوجيا اللغوية في مجال الأنثروبولوجيا.

What are people who live in the desert called?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

They're called desert-dwellers.

The terms nomad or bedouin, both meaning 'wanderer', are often misused in this case; but they only properly apply to the itinerant people of the desert, not to permanent settlers, which are called (as elsewhere in the world) villagers or townsfolk.
