2007-06-28 19:19:00 AP: Mitt Romney’s been called many things as he runs for president, but chances are “Sticky Rice” isn’t one of them. That’s how his name might be read on some ballots, according to state Secretary William Galvin.

Official Language Lunacy
2007-06-23 09:07:00 As a linguist who has actually worked in the field as a professional linguist (and anthropologist) I happen to know quite a bit about official language laws around the world.Most countries of the world have at least one official language. In Latin America, it is generally Spanish. In Africa, it is often a colonial language along with one or more large national languages. India has about 13 official languages, often one for each state, with English and Hindi given some prominence. In Israel, believe it or not, Arabic and Hebrew are official languages.The official languages of the Philippines are Tagalog and English. In Europe, the official language tends to be the main language of the country - German in Germany, Portuguese in Portugal, Dutch in Holland, etc. Sometimes, a smaller regional language is also designated an official language, but these are mostly just used in a certain area.The French are pretty terrible about this - as French is the only official language in France and t...

Why won't Labour make Welsh an official language?
2007-04-16 09:27:00 The Conservatives, Plaid and the Lib Dems all agree: Welsh should be an official language. It's there in black and white in each manifesto.As it stands, Welsh is already a 'Language of Government' in Wales, but it does not have official language status (even though Jane Davidson seems to think that it does).This matters because Welsh, at present, doesn't really exist. Despite being spoken by a now sizable proportion of the nation, Welsh lags way behind other minority languages in Europe. Irish is an official European language, while Basque, Catalan and Galician are 'approved' European languages. This means that EU correspondence and speeches can be translated into these languages if notice is given.Meanwhile, Welsh has no such recognition. It is possible for MEPs to make speeches in Welsh in the European parliament, but they won't be translated so what's the point? It may amuse the Italians to see the remnants of Glenys Kinnock's lunch spat out in a mouthful of complex cons...

Briefly Patriotic - American Should Be Our Official Language
2007-03-10 08:46:01 What did he say?! I didn?t understand him because he wasn?t speaking American. And that?s exactly the point. When you?re in America, you should speak American. And while we applaud the American Family Associations efforts to lobby Congress to make American the official language of America, it don?t go far enough. What?s the point of having an official language if there ain?t no penalty for using a different one? So, in addition to that legislation we suggest a minimum two year sentence for any American citizen talking in another language that ain?t American. American Should Be Our Official Language
