an island or isle is a piece of subcontinental land completely surrounded by water.very small islands such as emergent land features on atolls can be called islets, skerries, cays or keys.an island in a river or a lake island may be called an eyot or ait, and a small island off the coast may be called a holm.sedimentary islands in the ganges delta are called chars.a grouping of geographically or geologically related islands, such as the philippines, is referred to as an archipelago.there are two main types of islands in the sea: continental islands and oceanic islands.there are also artificial islands (man-made islands).there are about 900,000 official islands in the world.this number consists of all the officially-reported islands of each country.the total number of islands in the world is unknown.there may be hundreds of thousands of tiny islands that are unknown and uncounted.the number of sea islands in the world is estimated to be more than 200,000.the total area of the world's sea islands is approx.9,963,000 sq km, which is similar to the area of canada and accounts for roughly 1/15 (or 6.7%) of the total land area of earth.dutch eiland ('island'), german eiland ('small island')).however, the spelling of the word was modified in the 15th century because of a false etymology caused by an incorrect association with the etymologically unrelated old french loanword isle, which itself comes from the latin word insula.old english ieg is actually a cognate of swedish ö and german aue, and related to latin aqua (water).continents are often considered to be the largest landmass of a particular continental plate; this holds true for australia, which sits on its own continental lithosphere and tectonic plate (the australian plate).by contrast, islands are usually seen as being extensions of the oceanic crust (e.g.volcanic islands), or as belonging to a continental plate containing a larger landmass (continental islands); the latter is the case of greenland, which sits on the north american plate.examples are borneo, java, sumatra, sakhalin, taiwan and hainan off asia; new guinea, tasmania, and kangaroo island off australia; great britain, ireland, and sicily off europe; greenland, newfoundland, long island, and sable island off north america; and barbados, the falkland islands, and trinidad off south america.examples are madagascar and socotra off africa, new caledonia, new zealand, and some of the seychelles.if this island has a seashore as well as being encircled by two river systems, it becomes what might be called a subcontinental island.the one formed by wollaston lake is very large, about 2,000,000 km2 (770,000 sq mi).this includes: barrier islands, which are accumulations of sand deposited by sea currents on the continental shelves fluvial or alluvial islands formed in river deltas or midstream within large rivers.while some are transitory and may disappear if the volume or speed of the current changes, others are stable and long-lived.other definitions limit the term to only refer to islands with no past geological connections to a continental landmass.the vast majority are volcanic in origin, such as saint helena in the south atlantic ocean.the few oceanic islands that are not volcanic are tectonic in origin and arise where plate movements have lifted up the ocean floor above the surface.examples are the saint peter and saint paul archipelago in the north atlantic ocean and macquarie island in the south pacific ocean.these islands arise from volcanoes where the subduction of one plate under another is occurring.examples are the aleutian islands, the mariana islands, and most of tonga in the pacific ocean. | schoolyard | reutilized | prostomia <tsp> schoolyard | podostemad | hermoglyphist | no related information |

an island or isle is a piece of subcontinental land completely surrounded by water.very small islands such as emergent land features on atolls can be called islets, skerries, cays or keys.an island in a river or a lake island may be called an eyot or ait, and a small island off the coast may be called a holm.sedimentary islands in the ganges delta are called chars.a grouping of geographically or geologically related islands, such as the philippines, is referred to as an archipelago.there are two main types of islands in the sea: continental islands and oceanic islands.there are also artificial islands (man-made islands).there are about 900,000 official islands in the world.this number consists of all the officially-reported islands of each country.the total number of islands in the world is unknown.there may be hundreds of thousands of tiny islands that are unknown and uncounted.the number of sea islands in the world is estimated to be more than 200,000.the total area of the world's sea islands is approx.9,963,000 sq km, which is similar to the area of canada and accounts for roughly 1/15 (or 6.7%) of the total land area of earth.dutch eiland ('island'), german eiland ('small island')).however, the spelling of the word was modified in the 15th century because of a false etymology caused by an incorrect association with the etymologically unrelated old french loanword isle, which itself comes from the latin word insula.old english ieg is actually a cognate of swedish ö and german aue, and related to latin aqua (water).continents are often considered to be the largest landmass of a particular continental plate; this holds true for australia, which sits on its own continental lithosphere and tectonic plate (the australian plate).by contrast, islands are usually seen as being extensions of the oceanic crust (e.g.volcanic islands), or as belonging to a continental plate containing a larger landmass (continental islands); the latter is the case of greenland, which sits on the north american plate.examples are borneo, java, sumatra, sakhalin, taiwan and hainan off asia; new guinea, tasmania, and kangaroo island off australia; great britain, ireland, and sicily off europe; greenland, newfoundland, long island, and sable island off north america; and barbados, the falkland islands, and trinidad off south america.examples are madagascar and socotra off africa, new caledonia, new zealand, and some of the seychelles.if this island has a seashore as well as being encircled by two river systems, it becomes what might be called a subcontinental island.the one formed by wollaston lake is very large, about 2,000,000 km2 (770,000 sq mi).this includes: barrier islands, which are accumulations of sand deposited by sea currents on the continental shelves fluvial or alluvial islands formed in river deltas or midstream within large rivers.while some are transitory and may disappear if the volume or speed of the current changes, others are stable and long-lived.other definitions limit the term to only refer to islands with no past geological connections to a continental landmass.the vast majority are volcanic in origin, such as saint helena in the south atlantic ocean.the few oceanic islands that are not volcanic are tectonic in origin and arise where plate movements have lifted up the ocean floor above the surface.examples are the saint peter and saint paul archipelago in the north atlantic ocean and macquarie island in the south pacific ocean.these islands arise from volcanoes where the subduction of one plate under another is occurring.examples are the aleutian islands, the mariana islands, and most of tonga in the pacific ocean. | combativity | pyranyl | oscitancy <tsp> combativity | oatbin | hemiascomycetes | no related information |

english is a west germanic language in the indo-european language family, with its earliest forms spoken by the inhabitants of early medieval england.it is named after the angles, one of the ancient germanic peoples that migrated to the island of great britain.existing on a dialect continuum with scots and then most closely related to the low saxon and frisian languages, modern english is genealogically germanic.although its grammar and core vocabulary are mostly west germanic, it has borrowed many words from french (about 28% of english words) and latin (also about 28%), as well as some grammar and core vocabulary from old norse (a north germanic language).speakers of english are called anglophones.the earliest forms of english, collectively known as old english or 'anglo-saxon', evolved from a group of north sea germanic dialects brought to great britain by anglo-saxon settlers in the 5th century; these dialects generally resisted influence from the then-local common brittonic and british latin languages.however old english dialects were later influenced by old norse-speaking viking settlers and invaders starting in the 8th and 9th centuries.at the time, old norse even retained considerable mutual intelligibility with certain dialects of old english (especially more northern dialects).middle english began in the late 11th century after the norman conquest of england, when considerable old french (especially old norman french) and latin-derived vocabulary was incorporated into english over some three hundred years.early modern english began in the late 15th century with the start of the great vowel shift and the renaissance trend of borrowing further latin and greek words and roots into english, concurrent with the introduction of the printing press to london.this era notably culminated in the king james bible and the works of william shakespeare.the printing press greatly standardised english spelling, which has remained largely unchanged since then, despite a wide variety of later sound shifts in different english dialects.modern english grammar is the result of a gradual change from a typical indo-european dependent-marking pattern with a rich inflectional morphology and relatively free word order to a mostly analytic pattern with little inflection and a fairly fixed subject–verb–object word order.modern english relies more on auxiliary verbs and word order for the expression of complex tenses, aspects and moods, as well as passive constructions, interrogatives, and some negation.modern english has spread around the world since the 17th century as a consequence of the worldwide influence of the british empire and the united states of america.through all types of printed and electronic media in these countries, english has become the leading language of international discourse and the lingua franca in many regions and professional contexts such as science, navigation, and law.english is the most spoken language in the world and the third most spoken native language in the world, after standard chinese and spanish.it is the most widely learned second language and is either the official language or one of the official languages in 59 sovereign states.there are more people who have learned english as a second language than there are native speakers.as of 2005, it was estimated that there were over two billion speakers of english.english is the majority native language in the united kingdom, the united states, canada, australia, new zealand, and the republic of ireland (see anglosphere) and is widely spoken in some areas of the caribbean, africa, south asia, southeast asia, and oceania.it is a co-official language of the united nations, the european union, and many other international and regional organisations.english accounts for at least 70% of speakers of the germanic language branch of the indo-european family. | saururae | homocoelous | wholesalers | no related information |

english is a west germanic language in the indo-european language family, with its earliest forms spoken by the inhabitants of early medieval england.it is named after the angles, one of the ancient germanic peoples that migrated to the island of great britain.existing on a dialect continuum with scots and then most closely related to the low saxon and frisian languages, modern english is genealogically germanic.although its grammar and core vocabulary are mostly west germanic, it has borrowed many words from french (about 28% of english words) and latin (also about 28%), as well as some grammar and core vocabulary from old norse (a north germanic language).speakers of english are called anglophones.the earliest forms of english, collectively known as old english or 'anglo-saxon', evolved from a group of north sea germanic dialects brought to great britain by anglo-saxon settlers in the 5th century; these dialects generally resisted influence from the then-local common brittonic and british latin languages.however old english dialects were later influenced by old norse-speaking viking settlers and invaders starting in the 8th and 9th centuries.at the time, old norse even retained considerable mutual intelligibility with certain dialects of old english (especially more northern dialects).middle english began in the late 11th century after the norman conquest of england, when considerable old french (especially old norman french) and latin-derived vocabulary was incorporated into english over some three hundred years.early modern english began in the late 15th century with the start of the great vowel shift and the renaissance trend of borrowing further latin and greek words and roots into english, concurrent with the introduction of the printing press to london.this era notably culminated in the king james bible and the works of william shakespeare.the printing press greatly standardised english spelling, which has remained largely unchanged since then, despite a wide variety of later sound shifts in different english dialects.modern english grammar is the result of a gradual change from a typical indo-european dependent-marking pattern with a rich inflectional morphology and relatively free word order to a mostly analytic pattern with little inflection and a fairly fixed subject–verb–object word order.modern english relies more on auxiliary verbs and word order for the expression of complex tenses, aspects and moods, as well as passive constructions, interrogatives, and some negation.modern english has spread around the world since the 17th century as a consequence of the worldwide influence of the british empire and the united states of america.through all types of printed and electronic media in these countries, english has become the leading language of international discourse and the lingua franca in many regions and professional contexts such as science, navigation, and law.english is the most spoken language in the world and the third most spoken native language in the world, after standard chinese and spanish.it is the most widely learned second language and is either the official language or one of the official languages in 59 sovereign states.there are more people who have learned english as a second language than there are native speakers.as of 2005, it was estimated that there were over two billion speakers of english.english is the majority native language in the united kingdom, the united states, canada, australia, new zealand, and the republic of ireland (see anglosphere) and is widely spoken in some areas of the caribbean, africa, south asia, southeast asia, and oceania.it is a co-official language of the united nations, the european union, and many other international and regional organisations.english accounts for at least 70% of speakers of the germanic language branch of the indo-european family. | english language | spokenin | great britain | the earliest forms of english, collectively known as old english or 'anglo-saxon', evolved from a group of north sea germanic dialects brought to great britain by anglo-saxon settlers in the 5th century; these dialects generally resisted influence from the then-local common brittonic and british latin languages.early modern english began in the late 15th century with the start of the great vowel shift and the renaissance trend of borrowing further latin and greek words and roots into english, concurrent with the introduction of the printing press to london.the printing press greatly standardised english spelling, which has remained largely unchanged since then, despite a wide variety of later sound shifts in different english dialects. |
