Another large family is Bantu, B-A-N-T-U. Bantu includes most of the languages spoken in central and southern Africa. Languages such as Swahili, which has millions of speakers, and smaller languages, such as Zulu, which has close to a hundred thousand speakers, belong to the Bantu family. There are over 250 members of this family. In the past few hundred years, there has been a great deal of change in Africa, and outside languages, such as French, are now spoken in some areas of central Africa and southern Africa. A fourth large group of languages is the Sino-Tibetan family. Sino-Tibetan includes all dialects of Chinese, which is perhaps the most widely used language in the world. There are nearly 800 million speakers of Chinese dialects. Sino-Tibetan also includes the languages of southeast Asia, languages such as Vietnamese and Thai. Of course, not all the languages of east Asia belong to his family. Some languages such as Japanese seem to be completely unrelated to the Sino-Tibetan family.
另外一個(gè)大語(yǔ)系是班圖語(yǔ)，班圖語(yǔ)系包括大部分中非和南非的語(yǔ)言。像擁有百萬(wàn)人講的斯瓦希里語(yǔ)，和其相似的語(yǔ)言，像將近有十萬(wàn)人說(shuō)的祖魯語(yǔ)，都屬于班圖語(yǔ)語(yǔ)系。這個(gè)語(yǔ)系有250多個(gè)語(yǔ)種。 在過(guò)去的幾百年，非洲有很多的變化，一些外來(lái)的語(yǔ)言，像法語(yǔ)，現(xiàn)在在一些中非和南非地區(qū)都有使用。 第四大語(yǔ)言系是漢藏語(yǔ)系家族。漢藏語(yǔ)系包括中國(guó)所有的方言，這個(gè)語(yǔ)系可能是世界上使用范圍最廣的一個(gè)語(yǔ)系，將近有8億的人說(shuō)中國(guó)方言。漢藏語(yǔ)系也包括南亞的語(yǔ)言，像越南語(yǔ)和泰語(yǔ)。當(dāng)然，不是所有東亞的語(yǔ)言都屬于這個(gè)語(yǔ)系大家庭。有些語(yǔ)言像日語(yǔ)就不是完全跟漢藏語(yǔ)系有聯(lián)系。 ——By lsy34
