First Midterm Review
For the midterm, you should be able to identify any of these languages. "Identify" means tell what family it belongs to, and what branch, and where it is/was spoken, and whether it's dead (and in which sense) or alive, whether it's the national or official language of anyplace, and anything else strikingly interesting about it that we might have mentioned. All of these are on one or another of the family lists posted on this website, and/or (mostly and) have been or will be specifically mentioned in class. I also want you to know every language family discussed in class, with major branches and geographical location.
