LI6 Linguistic Entity Scope

Definition

A language that is distinctly different from another language.

Description

Judgments regarding whether two language variants are considered to be the same or different languages are based on a number of factors, including linguistic similarity, inherent intelligibility by speakers of each language variant, a common literature, and the views of speakers concerning the relationship between language and identity (that is, existence of a common ethnolinguistic identity versus existence of two distinct ethnolinguistic identities).
