National Identity and Individual Preferences Luxembourg has been under siege of different nationalities in the past century. As a result, today’s Grand Duchy is known as one of Europe’s melting pot of races, religions and languages. Luxembourgish serves as the national language while German and French are both official and administrative languages. Although German is slowly declining in its users, it is still widely used when watching televisions at home. When German invaded Luxembourg during the great wars from 1940-1945, Germanization forced every Luxembourger to use German language as its own to the point of eliminating other forms or activities not relating to Germanic customs.

Is italian an endangered language
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
Luxembourger educational system
The Luxembourg educational system is unique in that it uses three languages - Luxembourgish, German and French - as mediums of instruction depending on the level of education. Luxembourgish is used in pre-primary and the first two years of primary school, then German is introduced for reading and writing in the first year of primary with French for oral teaching and later written. English is later taught as a foreign language. The history of the system traces back to the oldest secondary school, Athénée de Luxembourg, founded in 1603 by Jesuits. Religion also plays a vital role, with 20% of teachers being clergy, and those deemed to act fraudulently by clergy could be expelled. The modern system aims to

CELEBRATING EUROPE DAY – The 9th of May, Europe Day, is celebrated in various forms in most states of the European Union and surrounding countries such as Turkey. Due to the political nature of the day, it sees teaching people about the European Union and speaking in support of European integration. It is the occasion for activities and festivities that bring Europe closer to its citizens and peoples of the Union closer to one another. Accordingly, our school's activities include students' and teachers' participation in numerous events, debates, workshops and quizzes celebrating the launch, in 1950, of the process that eventually culminated in the formation of the EU. What is more, we regularly attend various lectures and presentations that critically and systematically teach us about different economic aspects of European integration, about the positive and negative sides of EU's single market as well as about legislation and home affairs, common policies on trade and the free movement of people, goods, services and capital within the EU.

Linguistic Models
The document discusses the history and current state of bilingual education in the Basque Country. It describes how the region transitioned from a monolingual system under Franco to an autonomous community with Basque and Spanish as official languages. There are now three main linguistic models used in schools, with the majority of students in the Spanish-Basque-English model. The IRALE program provides training to help teachers achieve different proficiency levels in Basque to allow instruction in both Basque and Spanish. In addition, many schools have started introducing English at early grades and using content-based instruction to teach other subjects in English and French.
The origins of the english language
The English language originated from diverse influences over many centuries. Germanic tribes brought early forms of English to Britain, which was also influenced by Latin during Roman occupation. Multiple invasions and migrations, including by Celts and Vikings, contributed different vocabularies and dialects. Over time, as political powers rose and fell across Anglo-Saxon kingdoms, Old English dialects evolved and the language took a more modern form, influenced by Christianization and the written word.

1) The document examines how different sampling methods used to select training areas impact the predictive accuracy of artificial neural networks (ANNs) for digital soil mapping.
2) It finds that accounting for spatial autocorrelation, by choosing nearby training pixels, results in ANNs requiring fewer iterations (5,000 vs 30,000) to achieve similar predictive accuracy compared to random sampling.
3) Sampling strategies that reflect the high spatial autocorrelation of soil forming factors allow ANNs to learn patterns faster and converge to better solutions.

About... Languages in Luxembourg (2022)
The document discusses languages in Luxembourg. It notes that Luxembourg has a multilingual population and environment, with Luxembourgish, German, and French commonly used. It provides historical context on how the languages have developed over time and been influenced by neighboring powers and migration. It also describes the current use and status of the various languages in daily life, education, government, and the workplace.
The importance of english
The document discusses the importance and dominance of the English language globally. It notes that English has become one of the most important languages in the world, with over 380 million speakers. While Chinese has more native speakers, English serves as an important lingua franca due to the historical influence and power of English-speaking countries. The document attributes the rise of English to economic, technological, and cultural forces more so than legislation. It also notes that the dominance of English may be a mixed blessing as it could disadvantage native English speakers who are monolingual.

Belgium
Belgium has two main linguistic groups, Dutch-speaking Flemings and French-speaking Walloons. Belgium became independent from the Netherlands in 1830 and was occupied by Germany in World Wars I and II. The country's cultural heritage includes famous painters like Rubens and surrealist René Magritte. French, Dutch, and German are the official languages, with hundreds of regional dialects stemming from French and Dutch.

This document provides a socio-historical perspective on the French language by outlining its origins and development over time. It discusses how French evolved from Latin after the Roman conquest of Gaul in the 1st century AD. The earliest written record of French was the Strasburg Oaths of 842, which showed the language simplifying and distinguishing itself from Latin. The development of French literature and efforts to establish French as a language of prestige, such as by the Pléiade group in the 16th century, helped further standardize the language. Key events like the founding of the Académie française in 1635 also contributed to defining and codifying modern French.
Reading belgium’s lingual troubles
Belgium faces deep political divisions between its French-speaking and Dutch-speaking communities, as language differences have led to the development of distinct cultural identities. The Flemish population now outnumbers French speakers but still feels their identity is threatened, leading many to refuse speaking French. This has split Belgium along linguistic lines in many aspects of public life. It remains unclear whether this divide will ultimately separate Belgium into two independent countries, but language has clearly become strongly tied to political divisions and nationalist sentiments within the country.
Dutch language development
The document summarizes the history and development of the Dutch language from its origins in Proto-Germanic dialects to its current form. It traces the evolution of Dutch from Old Low Franconian dialects through Middle Dutch to early Modern Dutch. Key points include the standardization of Dutch spelling in the 19th century, the language battles that occurred in Belgium between Dutch and French, and the gradual formation of the language borders between Dutch, French and German over time.
Euro-English
English is the most widely spoken language globally and is used as an official or secondary language in about 75 territories, home to one third of the world's population. Due to its widespread use, there are many variations and standards of English. The development and spread of English throughout the world occurred in phases, from the 15th century when it was largely confined to Britain, through the colonial era when it spread through colonization, to the current era where it is learned globally as a lingua franca rather than through imperial domination. There is ongoing debate around whether a distinct variety of English is emerging across Europe to serve as a common language, referred to as "Euro-English".
Eng 109 the rise of english
The document summarizes the rise of English as the dominant language in England after the Norman conquest in 1066. It discusses several key events that led to this change, including the loss of Normandy in 1204, which caused French nobles to choose between France and England, dividing the ruling classes. The Black Death in 1348 killed one-third of England's population, increasing the need for laborers and respect for the lower English-speaking classes. By the late 14th century, English was used in law courts and the rising middle class spoke English more commonly. English eventually replaced French and Latin in writing by the 15th century.
A Brief History Of The Afrikaans Language
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.
Renaissance period
The document discusses factors that influenced the development of Modern English from 1500 onward. Key factors included the printing press, which helped standardize language; increased popular education and literacy; greater commerce and transportation, which connected different regions; and growing social consciousness. These forces both promoted change in vocabulary and grammar through new words and communication, while also encouraging preservation of standards. The document also examines problems faced by English in this period, such as gaining recognition alongside Latin, developing a uniform spelling system, and enriching vocabulary to meet new demands.
English
English has become the world's leading international language due to British colonial expansion in the 19th century and American cultural influence in the 20th century. It is currently spoken by over 460 million people as either a first or second language. English evolved from Germanic and Romance language influences following the Norman conquest of England in 1066. By the 14th century it had become the dominant language in England and established as the national language, replacing Latin. Its global spread was aided by England's role in international trade by 1700.

The document provides an introduction to English sentence structure. It discusses the five basic sentence patterns in English: subject-verb, subject-verb-object, subject-verb-adjective, subject-verb-adverb, and subject-verb-noun. Examples are given for each pattern. The subject-verb relationship is identified as the core of every English sentence. Additional elements like objects, adjectives, adverbs, and prepositional phrases are described as ways to modify the basic sentence structures.
English
English originated from Old English brought by Germanic settlers to Britain in the 5th century. It was influenced by Latin through the Christian church and by Old Norse through Viking invasions. The Norman conquest in the 11th century introduced French vocabulary and spelling conventions. The Great Vowel Shift marked the transition to Modern English from Middle English in the 15th century. English has since assimilated many words from other languages through British colonialism and American cultural influence, becoming a global lingua franca with a large vocabulary.

The international language (called esperanto)
1. The document discusses the issue of foreign language instruction in Italian schools becoming dominated by English alone. It argues for the introduction of a non-ethnic but truly international language like Esperanto to avoid this problem and promote multilingualism.
2. Esperanto was created in 1887 to be a universal language that could promote international communication and brotherhood. It grew rapidly in the early 20th century with international congresses and associations. While estimates of current speakers vary, Esperanto remains the most widely spoken constructed international language.
3. The document provides historical context on the many constructed language projects over centuries to achieve a universal language for international communication. Volapük and Esperanto were the most

A Guide to AI for Smarter Nonprofits - Dr. Cori Faklaris, UNC Charlotte
Working with data is a challenge for many organizations. Nonprofits in particular may need to collect and analyze sensitive, incomplete, and/or biased historical data about people. In this talk, Dr. Cori Faklaris of UNC Charlotte provides an overview of current AI capabilities and weaknesses to consider when integrating current AI technologies into the data workflow. The talk is organized around three takeaways: (1) For better or sometimes worse, AI provides you with “infinite interns.” (2) Give people permission & guardrails to learn what works with these “interns” and what doesn’t. (3) Create a roadmap for adding in more AI to assist nonprofit work, along with strategies for bias mitigation.

National identity and individual preferences
- 1. National Identity and Individual Preferences Luxembourg has been under siege of different nationalities in the past century. As a result, today’s Grand Duchy is known as one of Europe’s melting pot of races, religions and languages. Yes, you heard it right: Languages. Luxembourg is known as a multilingual country. Luxembourgish serves as the national language while German and French are both official and administrative languages. The question is, where did these languages came from? According to Balmoral International Group Luxembourg, Luxembourgish is used at home while French has been used in instruction materials in school. German is being used in playgrounds and when conversing with other people. Although German is slowly declining in its users, it is still widely used when watching televisions at home. Looking back on its roots, we would still be directed to foreign occupation in the country. We all know that Luxembourg has been invaded by Louis XVI of France, hence, the bond between neighboring countries further strengthened. The common tongue among surrounding countries is also French which greatly influenced the Grand Duchy. Some of the dutches and duchesses that have sat on the throne of Luxembourg had also been French. Another factor was the intermarriage of citizens to French locals. When German invaded Luxembourg during the great wars from 1940-1945, Germanization forced every Luxembourger to use German language as its own to
- 2. the point of eliminating other forms or activities not relating to Germanic customs. German had been passed on until today’s generation. The linguistic situation in Luxembourg is characterized by these three languages as laws had been established in their usage. Upon the founding of the country, French enjoyed the greatest prestige, and therefore gained preferential use as the official and administrative language. German was used in the political field to comment on the laws and the ordinances in order to make them comprehensible to everyone. At the primary-school level, teaching was limited to German, while French was taught in secondary education. The law of July 26, 1843, reinforced bilingualism by introducing the teaching of French in primary school. Balmoral International Group also stated in reviews that the use of media in the Grand Duchy has been purely German but studies show that both German and French are the primary languages of the press, for recording police case files and for public service information.
