A. Name your language (s).
1) Explain the alphabet, tones/accents, or any other unique
elements of your language compared to English.
2) Give a bit of history - Any roots shared with other countries?
List similar languages. (For Example: Mandarin is similar with
Cantonese, Taiwanese, Shanghainese because the written is the
same in all three languages, only different in the speaking;
however, there is also the battle of simplified versus traditional
characters. Or Hindi with Tamil, Marati, Telegu in that they are
all Indian spoken languages, spoken according to region.)
3) Learn a phrase and write it correctly. Then translate it in
English and phonetics for us to learn. (You can write it using
English phonetics since you cannot comment using characters.)
4) Greet your friend in your new acquired language.

A. Dari is spoken in Afghanistan.
1) Dari is read right to left, back to front. Dari has alphabets in curly lines and points. It has a lot of ay alphabets.
"sthay, tay, bay, alif, dal"...are the first five sounds of the alphabet.
2) Dari is a form of a Persian language and much of it is similar. Iranians/Persians speak Farsi, so it shares many traits. It can be compared to with Farsi like American versus British English.
"There are different opinions about the origin of the word Dari. The majority of scholars believe that Dari refers to the Persian word darbār, meaning "Court", as it was the formal language of the Sassanids. This opinion is supported by medieval sources and early Islamic historians," states Wikipedia.

It uses 44 consonants and 15 vowels. The writing is very different though. It is kind of like english because it has an alphabet.But it is also different because it uses 5 tones: low, mid, high, rising, and falling. I can't write it since it is writted differently.
I'll greet in the class tomorrow.

A. People in Netherlans speak Dutch.
1. Dutch's alphabet is A-Z, 14 simple vowels.
2. The history of the Dutch language begins around AD 450–500, after Old Frankish, one of the many West Germanic tribal languages, was split by the Second Germanic consonant shift while at more or less the same time the Ingvaeonic nasal spirant law led to the development of the direct ancestors of modern Dutch Low Saxon, Frisian and English.

The acute accent is used over the etter E,such as perche.And the grave accent is used over the letters,A,I,O,U, to mark stress.the standard Italian alphabet has 21 letters.
