A handful of words in modern English can be traced back to pre-Roman times. Linguists have been able to demonstrate links between a few words in Amerindian languages and Asian languages, so these words must date back at least 10 000 years, to when there was a land bridge across the Bering Strait. What is the oldest known language, and what are the words that can be traced back furthest in time?

La police de France a arreté 2 femmes coupables à voler.
...
Mardi le 3 Mai 1999,2 femmes ont braqué une banque à Paris et puis elles se sont échappées en leur voiture vielle qui avait une tache rouge sur sa portière du conducteur.elles se sont éloignées.
Un moment plus tard,Thierry Francois,l'agent de police a été informé que la voiture des voleuses est en train de passer la meme rue que lui.Thierry a cherché la rue mais il n'a rien trouvé.comme il était intelligent et malin,il a deviné que peut-être les 2 femmes ont laissé la voiture quelque part.
puis il a apercu 2femme à l'arrêt du bus qui portaient un sac.il leur a demandé:"éxcusez-moi medames,est-ce que vous avez apercu une voiture qui avait une tache rouge sur sa portière du conducteur et qui roulait trop vite?"
une des femmes a repondé qu'elles l'ont vues et qu'elle roulait vers le nord (elle a pointé a son droit)
Thierry a suspecté les 2femmes de braquer la banque et il les a arretées.
mais comment il les a reconnues ?

I'm American but my family is English, and every time someone says "dustbin" I picture an entire trash can filled with fine dust. Its such a strange visual I just can't help cracking up. What word or phrase makes you laugh?

In my history class I had two years ago, we learned that Spain use to have a colony in Florida called St.Augustine. I was wondering do people of Spanish descent still use the language or are the spanish speakers mainly of latin american descent?

My dad's van's user manual is in dutch, and now a warning light is lit on the cluster and trying to translate what the user manual says about it on babelfish is getting us nowhere. The symbol is a lightbulb with an exclamation mark inside, and we can tell it's something about lamps (dah!!), but can't understand what is the actual problem. Could anyone who speaks Dutch please read this small text and explain us the problem? Thank you very much!

Defecte gloeilampen

De controlelamp gaat branden als bij draaiende motor enn gloeilamp of zekering defect is. Als er een remlicht van het achterlicht is uitgevallen, gaat de controlelamp bij het remmen branden, en gaat pas weer uit als de motor wordt afgezet.

Als alleen het derde remlicht is uitgevallen, gaat de controlelamp niet branden.

I'M REFERING TO THOSE WHO ANSWERED MY EARLIER QUESTION ABOUT "GHETTO SPEAK"....YOU ALL KNOW WHO YOU ARE

Since Morocco used to be a Spanish colony, I wanted to know how widespread the Spanish language is there. One would think that most of the people there would have a working knowledge of Spanish seeing how close the country is to Spain. One site said that 20,000 people speak it in the northern part, but is that just native speakers? Also, I wanted to know if they speak a lot of Spanish in Casablanca. It's a spanish name so I think a majority of the people are at least conversational in Spanish. Are there any Moroccans out there who can help (but anyone is welcome to answer).
