Languages - January 2007

My local newspaper carried a report on a school where 17 different languages are spoken. One of those was simply African. I have heard of Afrikaan, but anybody know of African
Thanks

could someone please tell me how i should translate the following sentence:
一眼看着奚囊，寒湿了好些套头话

i really don't know how i should translate 奚囊 and 套头话
(and 寒湿 as "cold dampness" doesn't make much sense neither)

it's from Yesou Puyan 野叟曝言, chapter 2, when Su Chen meets the abbot)

Whie hedge funds professionals like to highlight their flexibility to use derivatives, be *short or long* and use leverage, the skeptics believe that these characteristics can create price volatility by large inflow and outflow of funds to the targeted markets.

Think about this. If an alien came to earth and ran into a human don't you think he will assume that we all have one language. If we were to go to another planet and find a whole new world with aliens on it, and we ran into one and started tryint to communicate with it, wouldn't we assume that is there only language. dogs have there own language, cats have there own language. isnt it wierd tha we have so many, and yet were the same species?

Ain't actually is a word...it's just a colloquial word. It's definitely not a word one should use in writing (unless they're quoting diologue), but what's wrong with an occasional "ain't" or "y'all" in friendly casual speech? I usually write very formally, but when I talk I use my dialect- I have an accent and sometimes I say "y'all" and "ain't". Big deal! If it's friendly diologue between family and friends, why should a person have to talk the exact same way as they write? I've met plenty of intelligent people from the South and Midwest that talk informally and write formally. I could just as easily criticize Yankees for saying "like" all the time, and then they have the nerve to point fingers at "ain't" usage. C'mon! Elocution skills can definitely come in handy in certain situations, but overall, eloquence does not equal intelligence.
