A Vernacular, mother tongue or mother language, and less frequently one sense of idiom[1] and dialect, [2] is the native language of a population located in a country or in a region defined on some other basis, such as a locality. For example, Navaho is a local language in the southwest of the United States, English is the state language of a number of countries and Kurdish has a continuous range, but that range is divided among a number of countries in which Kurdish is a minority language. Vernacular languages are not typically defined by political borders, although such a definition is often an ideal held by the speakers. For example, the Young Turk movement of the early 20th century envisioned a Turkish nation with only Turkish language speakers in it. After a failed military attempt to remove all the Armenians from the Ottoman Empire and its defeat in World War I, the founder of the Republic of Turkey, Mustafa Kemal, and President Woodrow Wilson worked to draw a border between Armenia and Turkey that would place Turkish-speaking villages on one side and Armenian-speaking villages on the other, and a similar treaty drawing a border between Greece and Turkey displaced Turks from Greece and Greeks from Turkey, where they had been residing since ancient times. Despite this ideal, Turkish-speaking minorities remain in the Balkans. The term is not a recent one. In 1688 James Howell wrote Concerning Italy, doubtless there were divers before the Latin did spread all over that Country; the Calabrian, and Apulian spoke Greek, whereof some Relicks are to be found to this day; but it was an adventitious, no Mother-Language to them 'tis confess'd that Latium it self, and all the Territories about Rome, had the Latin for its maternal and common first vernacular Tongue; but Tuscany and Liguria had others quite discrepant,viz. the Hetruscane and Mesapian, whereof though there be some Records yet extant; yet there are none alive that can understand them The Oscan, the Sabin and Tusculan, are thought to be but Dialects to these.

1. Conquer Those Fears of exams
November 20, 2009
Many students ask me: "Sir, I am a student from vernacular medium. Will I be able to score good in SAT, GRE, GMAT, TOEFL or IELTS?" Another question is posed to me very frequently: "Sir, I am very weak at mathematics. Should I prepare for SAT, GRE or GMAT?" My simple answer to these questions is: "If you ask me WHETHER, I will not be interested. But if you ask me HOW, I will be more than eager to put extra efforts so that you may overcome this hurdle." I am not saying that these questions are irrelevant. On the contrary, these are very important questions. But, should one give up the idea of ... (read more)

16. Floplords - Flippers Turned Landlords

22. Hotels in India

India’s immense natural and cultural diversity is increasingly finding an echo in its hotels.

A style that is taking its building cues from local traditions. To think that one could do without airconditioning in a hotel lobby in Kerala in May would take some convincing.
