Chile is a country located on the western side of South America, bordered by Peru, Bolivia, Argentina, and the South Pacific Ocean. The capital of Chile is Santiago. The national flag features horizontal bands of white, red and blue with a white star. The coat of arms depicts a condor and huemul supported by a shield with a white star on a blue and red background. Traditional Chilean cuisine includes asado, cazuela, empanadas, humitas and curanto. Football is Chile's most popular sport.
This document discusses biodiversity patterns of amphibians and reptiles in the Philippines, noting many new species discoveries through field work and threatened species due to widespread habitat loss from deforestation, which is the primary driver of biodiversity loss in the tropics according to several studies. Objectives are to describe species distribution patterns in relation to biogeography, elevation and habitat preference, and correlate patterns with richness, endemism and distribution of threatened species and their shrinking habitats.
The document provides information about tourism in several Indian states, including Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Manipur, and Mizoram. It discusses popular tourist destinations in each state such as Buddhist temples, national parks featuring rare wildlife, important religious sites, and floating villages. It also provides brief descriptions of the states' geography, history and culture. Shopping options highlighting local handicrafts are outlined for some of the states.
This document compares Belgium and Sri Lanka in terms of their linguistic diversity and the resulting political tensions. Belgium has Dutch and French-speaking populations, while Sri Lanka has Sinhala and Tamil populations. Belgium adopted a federal system that recognizes both languages and gives regional autonomy, avoiding civic tensions. In contrast, Sri Lanka took majoritarian measures favoring Sinhala that denied Tamils equal rights and led to the civil war seeking a separate Tamil state. The document argues Belgium's system has helped maintain unity while accommodating diversity.

In contrast, Sri Lanka took majoritarian measures favoring Sinhala that denied Tamils equal rights and led to the civil war seeking a separate Tamil state. The document argues Belgium's system has helped maintain unity while accommodating diversity.
Belgium adopted a power sharing technique where each linguistic community, whether minority or majority, was given equal representation and inclusion in decision making. This helped accommodate social and cultural diversity and reduced tensions between the Dutch-speaking Flemish community and French-speaking Walloon community. In contrast, Sri Lanka adopted a majoritarian approach where preferences were given only to the Sinhala majority, neglecting the Tamil minority, which exacerbated issues and led to civil war between the two groups.
Belgium accommodated linguistic tensions between Dutch and French communities through constitutional reforms that established power-sharing arrangements. This included equal representation of both communities in government. In contrast, Sri Lanka failed to share power between the Sinhala Buddhist majority and Tamil Hindu minority, denying Tamils' rights and sparking civil war as distrust increased. Power-sharing is desirable to reduce conflict between social groups and reflects democratic values of inclusive governance.
1. The document discusses power sharing in democracies using examples from Belgium and Sri Lanka.
2. In Belgium, power is shared between the Dutch-speaking Flemish and French-speaking Wallonian communities to avoid tensions over language and representation.
3. In Sri Lanka, the Sinhalese majority imposed their language and culture on Tamils, leading to conflict and civil war as Tamils felt discriminated against and their culture threatened.
This document discusses issues related to multilingualism and language planning. It notes that most nations are multilingual, with many people speaking two or more languages. While multilingualism brings communication benefits, it also poses challenges for national unity and education. Governments often try to select official languages to encourage cohesion, though repressing minority languages can backfire. Lingua francas like English have emerged to bridge linguistic divides. The document also examines language policies in various multilingual regions and countries around the world.
This document provides an overview of the status of the Italian language in Switzerland. It begins with a brief history of how Switzerland became a multilingual country with German, French, Italian, and Romansh as the official national languages. However, Italian has the fewest native speakers at around 6.5% of the population. The document then examines the situation of Italian both within and outside of the officially Italian-speaking regions of Ticino and parts of Grisons. While Italian is protected and promoted through education within these regions, its status is weaker elsewhere due to policies that give individual cantons control over language usage. Overall, the document suggests that while efforts have been made to promote Italian more broadly, obstacles like a growing focus on
Belgium faced tensions between its Dutch-speaking Flemish population and French-speaking population over control of Brussels, the capital city. To resolve this, Belgium amended its constitution to give both linguistic communities equal representation and formed a community government in Brussels. These measures successfully prevented the country from dividing along linguistic lines and allowed Belgians to prosper. In contrast, Sri Lanka's Sinhalese majority pursued dominance over Tamils, designating Sinhalese as the sole official language and favoring Sinhalese people. This inflamed tensions with Tamils and led to a civil war that killed thousands and set back the country's development.
A Brief History Of The Afrikaans LanguageClaire Webber
This document provides an overview of the history and evolution of the Afrikaans language. It discusses how Afrikaans originated from the Dutch dialects spoken by early settlers in South Africa and was influenced by languages of indigenous Khoikhoi people and slaves from Southeast Asia. It then describes how Afrikaans became standardized and politically prominent in South Africa in the late 19th/early 20th century. Finally, it analyzes the role of Afrikaans in establishing and maintaining the apartheid system of racial segregation in the 20th century.
The document discusses several major European languages and their influence on cultural diversity. It covers German, the official language of Germany and Austria with many dialects; Greek, one of the oldest European languages with the longest history; and Slavonic languages like Russian, Ukrainian, and Belarusian. It also examines the Romance languages French and Italian, both derived from Latin, and their current status in countries like France, Italy, Belgium and Switzerland.

It covers German, the official language of Germany and Austria with many dialects; Greek, one of the oldest European languages with the longest history; and Slavonic languages like Russian, Ukrainian, and Belarusian. It also examines the Romance languages French and Italian, both descended from Latin, and their current status in countries like France, Italy, Belgium and Switzerland.
This document summarizes power sharing in Belgium and Sri Lanka. It describes Belgium as having a complex ethnic composition with Dutch and French speakers, which led them to share power between central and state governments and have Dutch and French speaking ministers. Sri Lanka has ethnic tensions between the Sinhala majority and Tamil minority, which led to making Sinhala the only official language and favoring Sinhala applicants, causing civil war between the two communities. The document then defines different forms of power sharing can occur among levels of government, social groups, political parties, and movements.
AP Hug Chapter 5: Key Issue 4 by Amela Pjetrovicaxp0017
This document discusses reasons why people preserve local languages and examples of language preservation and revival. It provides details on Hebrew being revived as a language in Israel after becoming extinct. It also discusses Celtic languages that are endangered but preserved through school courses and road signs. The document contrasts multilingual states like peaceful Switzerland with divided Belgium and explains how isolated languages like Basque developed with little influence from other languages. It describes the global dominance and diffusion of English integrated into many cultures and languages through pop culture and migration.
CAE Reading skills unit 10.1 - Culture.pptxPremLearn
This document provides an agenda for a CAE reading skills unit that covers various activities related to analyzing vocabulary, finding key details, completing exercises, and discussing topics from several readings. The activities are organized into 10 minute segments and include lead-in photos, discussion questions, vocabulary exercises from the texts, questions to test understanding of details, matching exercises, true/false questions, a speaking activity, sentence completion, analyzing full texts, and a vocabulary quiz. The document also includes potential discussion questions about local languages and dialects.
Hebrew is an example of a once extinct language that was revived in Israel in 1948. Celtic languages like Irish Gaelic and Scottish Gaelic are endangered but efforts are being made to preserve them, including offering Celtic language courses and using Celtic on road signs. While multilingual states can potentially cause conflicts over language boundaries and policies, Switzerland has found peace through a decentralized government where local authorities have most power over languages. English has become a global lingua franca due to its importance for international communication, business, and culture.
Belgium has successfully implemented power sharing to accommodate its Dutch-speaking Flemish and French-speaking Walloon populations. The constitution mandates equal representation of the linguistic groups in government. Power is also shared regionally, with autonomy given to Flemish and Walloon state governments. A similar power sharing model was not adopted in Sri Lanka, exacerbating tensions between the Sinhalese majority and Tamil minority and ultimately leading to civil war. Power sharing is desirable to reduce conflicts, give all groups a stake in government, and strengthen national unity.
Geert Driessen (2005) LCC In Dutch? Usage of Dutch regional languages and dia...Driessen Research
This document examines the use of regional languages and dialects in the Netherlands based on data from a large cohort study of nearly 35,000 primary school pupils between 1995-2003. Two main developments were found: 1) A considerable decline in the intergenerational use of regional languages/dialects within families and over time; and 2) Only a weak relationship between the use of regional languages/dialects and pupils' language proficiency. The position of Limburgish, however, was found to be interesting as pupils from Limburg performed best on tests despite high reported use of Limburgish.
The document discusses the history and development of the English language. It notes that English has been influenced by many social and political events over the centuries, such as the Christianization of Britain, Scandinavian invasions, and the expansion of the British Empire. English continues to change through the introduction of new words, changes in pronunciation and grammar over time. The future of English is discussed, noting that it serves as a global lingua franca and may become more widely used internationally as populations grow, but other factors like economic and cultural forces will also influence its status and spread.
The document discusses power sharing in Belgium and Sri Lanka. In Belgium, the population is divided among Dutch, French, and German language groups. Tensions arose but the government amended the constitution four times between 1970-1993 to share power between communities and regions. This included equal representation and separate governments. In contrast, Sri Lanka's Sinhalese majority imposed their dominance over the Tamil minority, rejecting power sharing. This led to civil war as the Tamils demanded independence. The document argues power sharing is necessary to maintain unity and stability, as shown by the positive effects in Belgium and negative effects from the lack of power sharing in Sri Lanka.
French and cultural diplomacy – the african experience.Alexander Decker
French cultural diplomacy has had a significant impact on Africa, where French is widely used. Over 115 million Africans speak French as a result of its introduction during the colonial period. France has promoted French aggressively through cultural diplomacy, endangering many African languages and aspects of local culture. While French cultural diplomacy has helped spread French globally, it has also damaged African identity and autonomy by imposing French and suppressing native tongues. The effects of this cultural imposition continue to be felt across francophone Africa.
Power-sharing Class 10 is a vital aspect of democratic governance. It refers to the distribution of power among different organs of government, levels of government, and social groups. This ensures that no single entity can control all aspects of governance, promoting stability and unity in a diverse society.

This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.
2. Sub Topics of the Ethenic Composition
• Region
• Religion
• Language

3. Belgium is a European country with a
population of a little over one crore. In this
country, the ethnic composition is complex. Of
the total population, 59 percent lives in the
Flemish region and speaks the Dutch
language. Another 40 percent people live in
the Wallonia region and speak French.
Remaining one percent of the Belgians speak
German.
In the capital city, Brussels, 80 percent people
speak French while 20 percent are Dutch
speaking. The French-speaking minority
community was relatively rich and powerful.
This made the Dutch-speaking community
angry. From the 1950s to 1960s, there were
tensions between the two communities because
of those differences. 3
The Story Of Belgium
4. Sri Lanka is located south of India. This
island nation has a diverse population of two
crore people. In Sri Lanka, the major social
groups are the Sinhala-speakers (74 percent)
and the Tamil-speakers (18 percent). Tamils
in Sri Lanka were divided into two groups:
Sri Lankan Tamils (13 percent) – Tamil
natives of the country
Indian Tamils (5 percent) – came from India
during the colonial period as plantation
workers.
Sinhala-speaking people are mainly Buddhists
while the Tamil speaking people were either
Hindus or Muslims. There was even 7 percent
Christians, who are both Tamil and Sinhala.

The Story of Sri Lanka
6. In addition, Belgium is divided into three Regions: the
Flemish and Walloon Regions and the Brussels-Capital
Region. The Flemish Region is made up of the territory of
the five Flemish provinces. The Walloon Region
encompasses the territory of the five Walloon provinces.
There are also nine German-speaking municipalities in the
Walloon Region. They do not constitute a German-speaking
region.
The Brussels-Capital Region encompasses the territory of
the nineteen municipalities of Brussels. Each region has its
own legislative body, and its own government. The regional
governments and legislative bodies decide upon matters
such as housing, economy, transportation, public works, the
environment, spatial planning, energy, land use etc..
(A) Region Of Belgium

7. (B) Region Of Sri Lanka
The island nation of Sri Lanka with provincial boundaries, the national
capital Sri Jayewardenepura Kotte, provincial capitals, and major cities. The
Democratic Socialist Republic of Sri Lanka (known as Ceylon until 1972) is
located in the Indian Ocean between the Laccadive Sea in the west and the
Bay of Bengal in the east, separated by the Palk Strait and the Gulf of
Mannar from Tamil Nadu, an Indian state on the southern coast of the Indian
subcontinent. Colombo was the national capital until 1978 when the
administrative offices moved to Sri Jayewardenepura Kotte, a suburb of
Colombo. Colombo is now the executive and legislative capital and also the
commercial center of the country. Some Tamils responded to these
discriminatory policies with the idea of Tamil Eelam, a separate state for
Tamils. While the idea appears to be extreme, the two groups already lived
in somewhat separate spheres of the country: the Sinhalese in Southern,
Western, and Central Sri Lanka, and the Tamils in the Northern and Eastern
parts of the island. Tamil Eelam aimed to formalize this existing geographic
separation. The movement was built on the idea that Tamils and Sinhalese
represented distinct ethnic groups in Sri Lanka. 7
9. Religions In Belgium (A)
Religion in Belgium is diversified, with Christianity, in
particular the Catholic Church, representing the largest
community, though it has experienced a significant
decline since the 1960s (when it was the nominal
religion of over 80% of the population). However,
according to the Eurobarometer poll carried out by the
European Commission in December 2018, the share of
Christians increased by 10% points from 52.5% in 2009
to 62.8% in 9 years, with Roman Catholicism being the
largest denomination at 57.1%. Protestants comprised
2.3% and Orthodox Christians comprised 0.6%. Non
religious people comprised 29.3% of the population
and were divided between those who primarily
identified as atheists (9.1%) or as agnostics (20.2%). 9
10. 2. (A)
A further 6.8% of the population was
Muslim and 1.1% were believers in
other religions.[3] On the other hand,
the following Eurobarometer's survey
done in May and published in
September 2019 showed Christians
decreased from 62.8% in 2018 to
around 60% in 2019, with Catholics at
54%, Orthodox Christian 1%,

community. Tamils comprise approximately 15.3% of the
population and are mainly Hindus, with some belonging to
Christian churches. The Muslim community, form the third
largest ethnic group at 9.2% of the population. Buddhism is

13. Languages Of Belgium
Belgium straddles the border between Germanic and Romance-speaking Europe,
and this position is reflected in the country’s political, cultural and linguistic
makeup. With three major languages spoken under the same roof, what can go
wrong? Apparently, a lot. Unlike other countries in Europe that have successfully
forged a united national identity out of multiple linguistic communities (looking
at you, Switzerland), Belgium’s linguistic diversity has become a political hot
potato in recent years, with divisions over language often pitting different
linguistic communities against each other.
1) Flemish (Dutch)
First off, there’s the Dutch-speaking Flemish community mostly found in the northern
region of Flanders. They comprise about 60% (6.5 million) of the population. The
language this community speaks, while largely identical to the Dutch spoken in the
Netherlands, is called “Belgian-Dutch” by academics and “Flemish” by everyone
else. Of course, there are differences between Flemish and Standard Dutch —
particularly in pronunciation, vocabulary and idioms. Still, someone who speaks
Dutch shouldn’t have too many problems in Flanders. 13

2) French
Second on the list of most-spoken languages in Belgium is French. The French-speaking community lives
in the southern Wallonia region and in the capital, Brussels. They make up approximately 40% (4.5
million) of the population. Again, despite clear differences in pronunciation and vocabulary, if you learned
standard French in France, then you should be able to understand the French-speaking Belgians — you
just have to adjust your ears a bit.
3) German
Last but not least is the tiny German-speaking minority found in the eastern regions of the province of
Liege (on the border with Germany). This forms roughly 1% (75,000) of the population of Belgium.
Because these regions were only incorporated into Belgium after World War I, the German spoken here is
still very similar to the standard German spoken over the border. Unlike the other languages spoken in
Belgium, Belgian German has had much less time to evolve independently!
4) Languages in Brussels (Capital of Belgium)
Brussels is officially bilingual, with all street signs, transportation information and even commercial
advertising presented in both French and Flemish. But the reality of this supposedly bilingual utopia is
very different than what meets the eye. Despite Brussels’s Flemish past (the city was predominantly
Flemish-speaking until the late 19th century), you will rarely hear Flemish on the streets of the capital
today, and attempting to converse with shopkeepers or bus drivers in Flemish will not get you far.
15. Languages Of Sri Lanka
Sinhala and Tamil are the official languages of Sri Lanka. Sinhala is widely spoken in
the southern, western and central parts of the island, while Tamil is almost exclusively
spoken in northern and eastern parts of the island.
Sinhala is the native language of the Sinhalese people, who constitute approximately 70
percent of Sri Lanka’s population, which equals approximately 13 million people.
Sinhala is also spoken among other ethnic groups on the island as a second language,
making it the most widely spoken language in Sri Lanka. It was greatly influenced by
Pali, the liturgical language of Sri Lankan Buddhists. Due to the centuries of colonial
rule in Sri Lanka, Sinhala contains many Portuguese, Dutch and English loanwords.
Sinhala also has a number of words borrowed from Tamil.
Tamil is Sri Lanka’s second official language, spoken by about five million people on
the island, which is about 15 percent of the population. Tamil belongs to the Dravidian
language family, which is predominant in southern India, particularly in state of Tamil
Nadu. Tamil has existed as a spoken language in Sri Lanka for centuries brought by
ancient settlers, tradesmen, invaders, foreign kings and immigrants.

Other than Sinhala and Tamil, many minority languages exist spoken by small communities of people. The
best known of these minority languages is Veddah, spoken by the Veddah people, who are a group of
tribal hunter gatherers that live in the forests of central Sri Lanka. Veddah is closely related to Sinhala and
both languages have a number of words borrowed from each other. Also, the Rodiya community that lives
in the Hill Country speaks a language of their own, sometimes considered a dialect of Sinhala. The Sri
Lankan Moors speak a form of Tamil heavily influenced by Arabic. The Malay Muslims in Sri Lanka speak
Creole Malay, a mix of Bahasa Malaysia, Tamil, Sinhala and Arabic.
Majority of Sri Lankans are conversational in English, so you are unlikely to face communication issues. Sri
Lankans learn English as a second language at school starting from primary grades. Sri Lankan English is
essentially British English infused with quirky local phrases and words. Sri Lankan English might not be
entirely comprehensible to native English speakers due to the accent and words borrowed from local
languages.
