The two kingdoms in the original system defined by Carl Linnaeus in 1735:
It was originally based upon morphology and other physical characteristics. Modern scientists have altered the classification to a new system of six kingdoms based upon modern science's ability to better compare and define the genetic structures of living things. A new rDNA comparison analysis led to the development of the three domain and six kingdom classification.
Before the current six kingdom system, Linnaeus' two kingdom system was expanded to five in 1969 by Robert Whittaker. Called the binomial nomenclature, it is no longer in use:
The modern classification uses the following six Kingdoms:
Monera was split into the Kingdoms above listed as #5 and #6.
The modern system has also expanded to three domains instead of the original two:
Potential future systems of classification:
Modern scientific technologies have aided the design of the newest classification of six Kingdoms using gene sequencing, and it is predicted that eventually the system may expand to as many as 30 or more Kingdoms.

Color, size, extremities, where they live, how they move Most of the determinations of how to classify were done by male scientists. Some female scientist did some other classification of some plants that were different from the typical male classification and that were very reasonable. So then there were two ways to classify. In one, these two are closest, but in the other those two are closest. Which shows us that classification of species is somewhat dependent on who does it. Don't ask my cat.
Monera is a kingdom that contains unicellular life. It is split into the two domains of Archaea and Bacteria.

Binomial Nomenclature. In other words, using an organisms Genus and Species to classify them into categories.
DNA contains specific physical characteristics unique to the person to which the DNA belongs. This information helps classify organisms, by type. All sorts of traits are used to classify organisms, but DNA is the best way.
The two kingdoms that are used to classify bacteria are archaebacteria and eubacteria.
The two kingdom model placed everything in either animal of plant kingdoms. The discovery of fungi challenged this, as they had features of both kingdoms.

Cellular structure and mode of nutrition are two of the most important characteristics used to classify organisms into kingdoms. Cellular structure refers to whether an organism is composed of prokaryotic or eukaryotic cells, while mode of nutrition classifies organisms based on how they obtain and process nutrients.
The six kingdoms used to classify living things are plants, animals, protists, fungi, archaebacteria, and eubacteria. A way to remember these kingdoms is to memorize the first two letters of each kingdom, such as 'pl-an-pr-fu-ar-eu'.
There are many types of information used by modern taxonomists to classify organisms. Two types of information used for this purpose include whether the organism has a present backbone or not; and the body covering of the organism such as fur, feathers, skin, hair, etc..
The two main goals of system used to classify organisms are to organize and categorize organisms based on their shared characteristics, and to provide a framework for understanding the relationships among different species.

Scientists classified protists as a separate group because they are a diverse group of organisms that didn't fit neatly into the existing plant or animal kingdoms. Protists are eukaryotic organisms that exhibit a wide range of characteristics and lifestyles, leading scientists to create a separate category for them.
Aristotle's classification system was mainly focused on plants and animals, the two kingdoms that were most visible and familiar to him. He based his classification on observable physical characteristics and traits, and at the time, these were the most prominent groups of organisms that were recognizable and distinguished easily.
No, generally the languages used are Latin and Greek, or some modernization of those two languages.
