Cornish is spoken by some people in Cornwall, Great Britain. There are some schools there that teach Cornish, which is recognized as a minority language in the UK.

"Alphabet agencies" were created by Franklin Roosevelt to combat the effects of the Depression. The agencies did not end the Depression. However, they provided useful work to many people and constructed numerous public works, such as libraries and dams, many of which are still in use.

THE DEMOGRAPHICS of the English language are well known, and the following approximations are based on figures, always provisional, projected by Crystal, Graddol, and McArthur. Anglophones (to use a broader term than 'native' or 'mother tongue' speakers of English - terms which in any case pose problems) make up some 12% of the global population. Speakers of English in the UK constitute about 16% of the 380 or so million Anglophones worldwide. In the UK, some 2% of the population speaks English as a second language, and perhaps only 15% regularly speaks a southern British form of standard English. Only a small minority of these have a form of Received Pronunciation (RP) as their normal accent, even though RP is predicated as the basis of 'phonics' in initial literacy, and is assumed to be the default accent in the second-language teaching of British English, in the UK and elsewhere (with however the notable exception of North America).

What number are you counting to? That will determine where certain numbers are placed.

If you are counting 0 to 10....

Vitamins are named after different letters of the alphabet.

(a) b c d (e) f g h (i) j k l m n (o) p q r s t (u) v w x y z

the letters in () are vowels, the rest are consonants.

Therefore starting at the left end the tenth consonant is "m".

To call an African American an "Uncle Tom" is to insult him by suggesting he is selling-out to the White race. The origin of the name 'Uncle Tom' is believed to come from the book callled, "Uncle Tom's Cabin" Where the main character, Uncle Tom, is initially seen as a noble long-suffering Christian slave.
An Uncle Tom is a black man who overlords slaves or tenant farmers.

Monomers are like alphabet letters in that when combined they can be used to create an infinite number of combinations. This is the same way that letters combine to form words.

It's impossible to say. In Sweden you can make new words by combining old ones - for example the English "the colour of the wings of the dove" could be "duvvingsfärgen" in Swedish (duva+vinge+färg, ie dove+wing+colour), although the most practical thing would be to say "färgen på duvans vingar" (the colour of the dove's wings). This makes Swedish a very flexible language.

T might be 'ot, but 'L might be 'otter.

The alphabet is important ofcourse. It is important because if we wouldn't have made letters there would be no words. If we didnt make words we would have no way of communicating. The alphabet is also important because people write stories to entertain us. We use the internet by reading it and for many other reasons. If the alphabet wasnt needed, why invent it?

Because Phoenician only had 22 letters, compared to the thousands of characters in Egyptian hieroglyphics, it was easier to become literate. With more literacy in a society, communication improved.

Lowercase and upper case letters refer to how a letter is written - as a capital letter ("A" for example) or as a small, lowercase, letter ("a" for example).

Here are all the capital letters in the alphabet: ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ

Here are the same letters as lowercase: abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz

Upper case (capital) letters are used to begin sentences and for proper nouns, such as names.

There is no English word that contains all 26 letters of the Alphabet.

13 letters.=a, e, i, o, u, h, k, l, m, n, p, w, and ` (okina)=

H,i,n,o,x and z.

--------------

H, I and N only work in upper case (capitals),whereas o, x, z work in either upper or lower case.

There is also a seventh letter: S (or s).

It also depends on the font being used, and its not just English this applies to but any language using the Latin alphabet.

What are the words?!

It depends on which alphabet you're talking about.

In the Latin alphabet, the consonants are: b,c,d,f,g,h,j,k,l,m,n,p,q,r,s,t,v,w,x,y,z. (w and y are sometimes referred to as semi-vowels or glides).

In the Hebrew alphabet, all of the letters are considered consonants.

England

· Most colonies established by royal char­ter. Earliest settlements were in Virginia and Massachusetts but soon spread all along the Atlantic coast, from Maine to Georgia, and into the continent's interior as far as the Mississippi River.

· Colonists were recruited from among middle-class farmers, artisans, and tradesmen. Indentured servants, spe­cialists in certain areas (i.e., sawmill workers, lumbermen), and convicted criminals were also brought over. Immigrants from other countries were welcomed.

· Distance from England and a frugal Parliament allowed colonists to set up local governments and representative assemblies and to tax themselves, as long as they did not take up arms against the Crown.

· Largely non-Catholics. Although some tolerance was practiced in most colonies, the Puritans in Massachusetts established an autocratic and restrictive religious leadership. Pennsylvania man­dated complete tolerance.

· Rapid growth due to liberal immigration policies. By 1627 Virginia had approxi­mately 1,000 settlers. By 1754 total population in the English colonies had grown to 1.5 million; this included large proportions of German and French.

· Originally friendly; early colonists relied on Native Americans for trade and for help with survival. Eventually greed for land led to major conflicts with Indians.

Spanish

· Crown-sponsored conquests gained rich­es for Spain and expanded its empire. Most of the southern and southwestern regions claimed, as well as sections of the California coast. Settlements include St. Augustine, Florida (1565); Santa Fe, New Mexico (1610); and numerous cities in Texas and California.

· Conquistadors, soldiers, and mission­aries were the primary Spanish coloniz­ers; farmers and traders came later.

· Colonies were governed by crown-appointed viceroys or governors. Settlers had to obey the king's laws and could make none of their own.

· Settlers were restricted to Catholics; Protestants were persecuted and driven out.

· Slow growth due to greater emphasis on military conquest, poor relations with Native Americans, and numerous early failures to establish permanent settle­ments. Largest Spanish populations were in Florida, Texas, California, and Mexico.

· Spanish missionaries saw Native Americans as heathens to be converted to Christianity; soldiers viewed them as fit only for killing or subjugation.

Well, the more you read books the more it helps you. If you read a lot it helps make your writing better. Why? It helps because you are reading from all different types of authors and getting new ways to write in your head.
