  • New languages

    How do you think a new language is formed?


    Best answer

    A new language is development from a basic dialect and is guaranteed to be different a few centuries later than in the beginning. The English laguage, for example, was born through simple tribal dialect and over the years took its form into the language as we know it today from various influences and factors that shape and define it, mainly other languages. Many words and sentence structures have Latin, German, French and various other influances which makes it actually one of the easiest languages to learn.

  • What is the meaning of "goldilocks zone"?
    Best answer

    It is used to describe a place that is “just right” to live. It is usually used to talk about space - for example: “The Earth is not too close to the sun and not too far away; it’s in the Goldilocks zone.” The meaning comes from the children’s story: Goldilocks and the Three Bears. I hope that helps!
