Esegels (aka "Izgil" (), "Äsägel", "Askel", "Askil", "Ishkil", pinyin "Asijie", "Sijie") were a, possibly,Turkic dynastic tribe that in the Middle Ages joined the Itil Bulgaria state and were assimilated to Bulgars; or was possibly a Bulgar tribe all along, as mentioned by Ibn Fadlan.
 Numerous records about Esegels in the sources in many languages, in connection with many historical subjects, and across the span of the Eurasian steppes left numerous variations of their name.
 M.Räsänen suggested Uralo-Altai etymology of this word: Es-kil, Es-gil "Old city", which may conflict with the older Chinese phonetization pinyin: "Asijie".
Glossophilia is a love of language, be it foreign or native.

The "Harry Potter" series of fantasy novels by J. K. Rowling have become some of the most widely read works of children's literature in history, with readers of all ages and in many countries.
 In April 2011 worldwide sales of Harry Potter books were estimated to be about 450 million copies.
 Oddly enough, it has been difficult to accurately determine with any degree of certainty exactly how many languages Harry Potter has been translated into.
 As best as can be determined (as of 2017), The Philosopher's Stone has been officially translated from the original English into 73 other languages.
 A 74th language, Scots, was announced on 2017-06-28 and it is expected to be available in October, 2017.
 Both Bloomsbury's and J.K. Rowling's sites have recently stated that the books have been translated into 79 languages (80 with the 2017-06-28 announcement of Scots); however, it has been argued that number actually represents the number of authorized translations (of The Philosopher's Stone) plus the original English.
 The number of authorized translations is not equal to the number of languages because there have been multiple authorized translations into the same language.
 Specifically, there have been two separate translations into each of: Mandarin Chinese, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian and Turkish (5 languages).
 English is often included in the list of translations even though technically it should not be (indeed, it is why our list here counts up to 74).
 Thus: 79 − English − 5 double-translations = 73.
 It is also worthwhile to emphasize that not all seven books are have been translated into these 73 languages.
Maran or Maric is a branch of the Pama–Nyungan family of Australian languages.
 The well attested Maric languages are clearly related; however, many languages of the area became extinct before much could be documented of them, and their classification is uncertain.

The Arab world (Arabic: العالم العربي‎ ‎ "al-ʿālam al-ʿarabī "; formally: Arab homeland, الوطن العربي "al-wațan al-ʿarabī "), also known as the Arab nation (الأمة العربية "al-ʾummah al-ʿarabīah ") or the Arab states, currently consists of the 22 Arabic-speaking countries of the Arab League.
 These Arab states occupy an area stretching from the Atlantic Ocean in the west to the Arabian Sea in the east, and from the Mediterranean Sea in the north to the Horn of Africa and the Indian Ocean in the southeast.
 The contemporary Arab world has a combined population of around 422 million inhabitants, over half of whom are under 25 years of age.
The music of Syria may refer to musical traditions and practices in modern-day Syria (as opposed to Greater Syria), merging the habits of people who settled in Syria throughout its history.
 Syria was long one of the Arab world's centers for musical innovation in the field of classical Arab music; for example, the city of Aleppo is known for its "muwashshah" music, which was specially conceived to accompany Andalusian "muwashshah" poetry.
Translingual phenomena are words and other aspects of language that are relevant in more than one language.
 Thus "translingual" may mean “existing in multiple languages” or “having the same meaning in many languages”; and sometimes “containing words of multiple languages” or “operating between different languages”.
 Translingualism is the phenomenon of translingually relevant aspects of language; a translingualism is an instance thereof.
 The word comes from "trans-", meaning “across”, and "lingual", meaning "having to do with languages (tongues)"; thus, it means “across tongues”, that is, “across languages”.
 Internationalisms provide many of the examples of translingual vocabulary.
 For example, international scientific vocabulary comprises thousands of translingual words and combining forms.
The Burmo-Qiangic or Eastern Tibeto-Burman languages are a proposed family of Sino-Tibetan languages spoken in Southwest China  and Myanmar.
 It consists of the Lolo-Burmese and Qiangic branches.
 Tujia, Bai, and perhaps the Karenic languages could also be members or closely related.
