Some language groups

All languages spoken on the planet have an approximately identical complexity structure. According to researchers, primitive dialects do not exist. Each adverb is ideally suited to reflect and express the culture of the people speaking it.

To say exactly how many adverbs today exist is difficult. The question of how the development of language took place remains unresolved. In addition, there is no certainty that all the dialects, dialects, dialects that exist on Earth are known to science. According to some minimal estimates, the number of idiomatic languages present in the world ranges from two and a half to three thousand. In accordance with the maximum estimates, the number of dialects is several times greater.

There are basic dialectical families. This classification includes traditionally allocated language groups. They are divided according to geographical associations. This indicates the main or all branches and subgroups entering into the language groups, as well as the most well-known dialects.

The first established with the help of a comparatively historical method was the Indo-European family. After Sanskrit was discovered, many researchers (Russian, French, Italian, German, Danish and others) engaged in active study of the signs of kinship in different dialects of Asia and Europe, similar in appearance. German researchers called this group "Indo-Germanic" (and sometimes continue to call it that). However, in other countries this term does not apply.

Separate language groups included in the Indo-European family at first are Greek (which is only Greek dialects), Iranian, Indian (Indo-Aryan). It also includes the Italian branch. It was originally Latin. Subsequently, numerous descendants of this branch were formed. Thus, a modern Romance, Celtic, Baltic, Germanic, Slavic language group was formed. This includes also isolated Albanian and Armenian dialects. These language groups have generally recognized family characteristics. In this regard, they distinguish mixed dialects. For example, there are Indo-Iranian, Balto-Slavic languages.

The Indo-European family is inferior in number to the dialects included in it, to other families. However, it is the most widespread geographically and the largest by the number of speakers (even if you do not consider all people who use Spanish, French, English, Russian, Portuguese and many others as their second language).

The Ural family includes two branches. The number of dialects belonging to this family is more than twenty, if one takes the Sami language as one. If we consider the Sami dialects separately, then the total number of adverbs is about forty.

The Finno-Ugric language group is considered quite large. The total number of speakers is about twenty million people. This includes the Baltic-Finnish (Estonian and Finnish languages), the Ugric (Hungarian, Mansi, Khanty), the Finno-Volga (Mari and Mordovian dialects), the Permian sub-group (Komi-Zyryansky and Komi-Permyak, and Udmurt languages). A special place is occupied by the Sami dialect.

The second branch of the Ural family is Samoyed.

It should be noted that some language groups that are part of this family are at the stage of extinction. To them, in particular, include the small Baltic-Finnish dialects (except Vepsian). Of the four Samoyedic languages, there remains one - Nenets. Probably, the water dialect has already disappeared.

According to most researchers, the language formed about half a million years ago. However, some authors call other figures. At the same time, the process of language formation is still unclear.
