The world’s societies, economies, and governments are increasingly interconnected. Learning a language will help prepare you to meet the challenges and embrace the opportunities of our ever more globalized world. Language study benefits Indiana University – Bloomington students of all majors in their academic and career interests.

Why study a language?   

      

Language study gives you a richer understanding of other cultures and presents opportunities to connect with people from all over the world. Learning a language is correlated with higher scores on standardized tests such as the GRE, MCAT, and LSAT, as well as higher grades in English and Mathematics. Enhance your career opportunities with language study. Learning a language makes students competitive when applying for a wide range of government, non-profit, and private-sector jobs that require language expertise, or that offer better positions and higher salaries to applicants with such expertise. Language study can enhance just about any discipline, major, and career path, and helps you stand out when applying to graduate or professional school. In the increasingly globalized world, the knowledge of a world language becomes an indispensable skill important not only for individual enrichment, but also for broadening employment opportunities. According to a study from University of Chicago, knowledge of a foreign language helps you boost decision-making skills. Students who study world languages score higher on standardized tests, as a study from York University in Toronto showed. Students who study a world language for at least one year score an average of 38 points higher on the SATs. Knowledge of a world language increases your chances of landing a good job, as the recent poll of The Economist showed. An MIT study shows that people who know two or more languages earn an average of $128,000 more over their lifetimes. Learning a second language has compelling health benefits, as suggested by a study from York University in Toronto that connects the prevention of the onset of dementia with foreign language learning.

How do I choose a language? Choose a language from a culture or part of the world that interests you. Consider learning a language that’s part of your background or the heritage of friends. Think about interests or hobbies that may suggest a certain language or world region. Whether you continue a language that you took in high school or choose something new and different, you may find that the language you learn becomes your passion!

Harvey Beasley Jr. (pictured) a student of Japanese, majored in Computer Information Systems & East Asian Languages and Cultures - Japanese. He studied abroad in Nagoya, Japan under IU Nanzan academic year program. Harvey is now working as a Foreign Service Officer in the State Department. “One of the main reasons I chose Indiana University was because I could study abroad in Japan for a year. I wanted to learn Japanese and Nanzan was the only academic year program available through IU at the time. Study abroad in Nagoya was more appealing to me than Tokyo because I figured that since Nagoya was less (relatively speaking) metropolitan there would be fewer Japanese who could speak English. I was happy with my decision.” Source: www.overseas.iu.edu

Harvey is a graduate student at the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy under the Rangel Fellowship Program. In the spring of 2010, he studied in China as a recipient of a Boren Fellowship.

The time to study a language is now! Give yourself the chance to become highly proficient by starting now or by continuing a language that you started in high school. Keep going after you complete your language requirement! If you want to become proficient enough to use another language in your career, you need to plan on studying it as long as possible. IU is ranked among the top 10 most innovative colleges for foreign language study in the United States, Indiana University offers:  70+ languages taught annually, including many that are not offered anywhere else at US universities  3 national Flagship language programs: Chinese (Mandarin), Swahili, Turkish  5 National Language Resource Centers: Center for the Languages of the Central Asian Region (CeLCAR), the National African Language Resource Center (NALRC), Center for the Study of the Middle East (CSME), the Inner Asian & Uralic National Resource Center (IAUNRC), Russian and East European Institute (REEI).  Summer Language Workshops At Indiana University - Bloomington, language classes are small and interactive and emphasize communicative competence as well as deep cultural knowledge. Outside of the classroom, you’ll find opportunities to watch films in the language, participate in conversation tables, attend cultural events, meet international students, study or intern abroad, or live in a languagefocused community.

Welcome! Akwaaba/Akɔaba Akan, also known as “Twi”, is spoken primarily in Ghana, Ivory Coast (Abron) and Benin (Tchumbuli). About 11 million people speak Akan/Twi as their first language and 1,050,000 in Ghana alone. Akan is a Central Tano language that is the principal native language of the Akan people of Akanland in Ghana, spoken over much of the southern half of that country, by about 58% of the population, and among 30% of the population of Ivory Coast.

Why Study Akan/Twi Language? Twi is a cover term for some of the dialects of Akan, but some people equate it with the Akan language, itself. In fact, the Akan people speak the various dialects of Akan and not the Akan language per se. The choice of the variety of Akan to teach and learn is often made from the dialects that have so far been reduced to writing, namely Asante, Akuapem (Akwapim), and Fante, which are mutually intelligible. Akan is now spoken and understood in virtually all parts of Ghana in West Africa. This means that visitors to Ghana should have no problem with communication once they know English, the official language, and Akan. Not only does the study of Akan help students to satisfy foreign language requirements, but also it enables them to learn the language as well as the various cultural practices of the Akan people. Students preparing to work, study abroad, or conduct research in Africa are also strongly encouraged to study an African language. The African Languages Minor also permits students to reach proficiency in one of the languages offered at Indiana University (such as Akan), gain social and cultural knowledge related to the language, and receive an introduction to African linguistics or pragmatics. This Minor is awarded through Linguistics.

Why Study Akan/Twi Language at IU-Bloomington? The instructors at the Department of African Studies are native speakers who are trained in communicative language teaching and instruct courses at all levels. At the undergraduate level, African languages can be used to fulfill IUB’s language requirement and to complete an undergraduate African Languages Minor, an African Studies Certificate, or a Minor in African Studies. African Studies Master’s and Ph.D. Minor students complement their topical and Africa-focused course work with the study of an African language. 7

Welcome! !‫( أهال وسهال‬ahlan wa sahlan!)

‫العربية‬

Arabic is a global Afro-asiatic language and is spoken in a wide arc stretching across the Middle East, North Africa, and the Horn of Africa. Arabic has a massive influence in languages throughout the West, Africa, and some parts of Asia. The language has currently over 290 million native speaker and is the official language of more than 20 countries in the world. It is the official language in 22 Arab countries. It is also the liturgical language of Islam, the faith of over 1.5 billion people worldwide.

Why Study Arabic? Knowing Arabic is a significant asset, one that makes you more marketable in fields including Journalism, Translation, Petroleum Engineering, International Law, Foreign Service, Teaching and Research, International Business/Banking, Consultancy, and International Development. Attaining proficiency in Arabic makes you a stronger candidate for graduate school, particularly in several international disciplines. It enables you to read texts in their original language and to conduct fieldwork in Arabic, thus adding value to your scholarship. There is a great demand for the language particularly in the Middle East and the West. Learning Arabic will give you a more global and intercultural understanding of the world. Students pursuing Arabic are often able to secure study-abroad scholarships and other professional development opportunities because Arabic has been designated as a critical language of strategic importance.

Why Study Arabic at IU-Bloomington? The Near Eastern Languages and Cultures department distinguished and world-renowned faculty teach diverse courses on the languages, literatures, religions, history, and cultures of the Arab world and the Middle East.

Welcome! i ni ce! Bamana, also known as Bamanankan, is part of the Mande language family. Bamana is one of the most widely spoken languages in West Africa and is used by more than 26 million people, primarily in Mali, where it can be heard on the radio, in government offices, and in schools. It is also spoken by significant segments of the population in Burkina Faso and northern Côted’Ivoire, where it is known as Juula, as well as in Guinea-Conakry and Gambia, where it is called Malinké or Maninka. Additional speakers of Bamana live in Senegal.

Why Study Bamana? The knowledge of Bamana language will be very helpful to students in Linguistics, Anthropology, Sociology, and History as well as to linguists who plan to conduct research in one of the countries mentioned above. International workers, Peace Corps volunteers, diplomats, and missionaries will find it essential to learn Bamana in order to communicate and collaborate with the local populations. In the field of linguistics, Bamana is one of the most written languages in West Africa. European and American linguists have written it since the end of the 19th century. Today, we find interesting documentation on the Bamama language particularly in German. For students in comparative linguistics, Bamana could be an interesting language. It has borrowed many words from French, Arabic, and a smaller number of words from English. As a result of long cohabitation, Bamana and some languages of the Mande group have many common words.

Why Study Bamana at IU-Bloomington? The African Studies Program has long been recognized as one of the leading centers for the interdisciplinary study of Africa. It has been a U.S. Department of Education National Resource Center every year since 1965. IU’s Department of African Studies is committed to being one of the nation's leading programs for the interdisciplinary study of Africa. The department also promotes the study of Africa in global perspective by cooperating with other area-studies programs, international centers, professional schools, and departments inside and outside Indiana University. All of the activities are conducted in accordance with the department’s values stressing integrity, excellence, diversity, community, collaboration, and creativity.

বাাংলা Bangla

Welcome! Shagatom স্বাগতম Bengali (Bangla), the second most widely spoken language of South Asia, is one of the official languages of India and the national language of Bangladesh. With over 200 million speakers, it ranks fifth among world languages. And it is the sole language that can boast of sparking a revolution that led to the formation of a new nation.

Why Study Bengali? Knowing Bengali opens the door to a whole vista of rich cultural material that is both traditional and contemporary, from medieval devotional literature to the works of Rabindranath Tagore, Asia’s first Nobel laureate, and contemporary writers like Enamul Haq and Sunil Gangopadhyay. Filmmaker Satyajit Ray introduced the world to Bengal through his Apu Trilogy, and the American Motion Picture Arts and Sciences Association awarded him its Lifetime Achievement Award. Bengali is crucial for an understanding of the religious philosophies of Swami Vivekananda and Chaitanya, and the bhakti (devotional) movement in Bengal. The Bengali language allows one to simultaneously explore ancient traditions while appreciating a community of people who hold onto their traditional values, but at the same time are eager to explore new paths.

Why Study Bengali at IU-Bloomington? The Madhusudan and Kiran C. Dhar India Studies Program at Indiana University Bloomington offers three years of instruction in Bengali. Undergraduate students can fulfill their foreign language requirement by taking two years of Bengali. Several India Studies faculty members work with Bengali-language source materials in their respective disciplines. IU is the only institution in Indiana, and one of only two in the Midwest, where students can learn this critical language. Our faculty are engaged in research in the humanities, social sciences, language education, and also work in the creative disciplines, and possess expertise in a wide range of subjects ranging from South Asian religion and history to contemporary Indian politics, law, literature, business, and culture.

Welcome! Dobrodošli! Добродошли! Bosnian/Croatian/Serbian (BCS) (and most recently, Montenegrin) is a South Slavic language spoken on the territory of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Montenegro, and Serbia. Before the break-up of Yugoslavia, this language was usually called Serbo-Croatian. When new countries formed, the language came to be known as Croatian in Croatia, Serbian in Serbia, Montenegrin in Montenegro, and Bosnian/Croatian/Serbian in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Despite the different names, native speakers of any of the four languages have no linguistic difficulty understanding the other three. The grammatical and lexical differences between them are fewer than between British and American standards of English. The language is written in two alphabets: Latin and Cyrillic and has around 19 million native speakers worldwide.

Why Study Bosnian/Croatian/Serbian? BCS is spoken by millions of people worldwide and many diasporic communities in the United States. When most people think of the region where BCS is spoken, they think of the wars of Yugoslav succession. However, hidden by such images is a region rich in history and created by many different influences: Viennese café culture meets the best of Southern Europe; Adriatic beaches rival those of Southern France; the Dinaric rival the Swiss Alps; Western, Byzantine, and Islamic influences come together; while contemporary art, architecture, literature, film, and music are some of the best the world has to offer. If you learn BCS you will have access to these cultural wonders and be able to explore the rich and tumultuous history of the Balkans.

Why Study BCS at IU-Bloomington? Indiana University Slavic and East European Languages and Cultures Department offers four years of BCS language study as well as a number of courses in literatures and cultures of former Yugoslavia. Our language courses are small and you will benefit from the personal attention and instruction tailored to suit your particular learning style. Our BCS language instructors are native speakers with training in second language acquisition pedagogy and years of teaching experience. Our language study is supplemented by an array of co-curricular and extra-curricular activities, including language tables, film screenings, lectures, and other cultural events and happenings. The Department also works in cooperation with IU’s U.S. Department of Education funded Title VI Center, The Russian and East European Institute, to offer a variety of extra-curricular programming throughout the year.

Bosnian/Croatian/Serbian ("BCS") Table is held every week for language practice and networking. The Russian and East European Institute maintains a lending library of documentary and feature films, including those from and about the former Yugoslavia. The IU Wells Library has a massive collection for our area, with holdings in Croatian (over 15,000), Serbian (over 8,500), and Bosnian (almost 300), and over 20,000 holdings dealing with the former Yugoslavia.

Welcome! Catalan is spoken by approximately 10 million people. The Catalan-language area spans four separate countries: Spain, France, Italy and Andorra. Its main city is Barcelona. Catalan is also the official language of Andorra, a tiny country in the Pyrenees.

Why Study Catalan? Despite the repressive policies of the Spanish and French states, Catalan has maintained a high cultural prestige since the Middle Ages and has played a central role in the political reemergence of Catalonia as “a nation without a state.” Catalan literature constitutes an extraordinary cultural event that has remained marginal amidst the great European literary traditions. At the same time, the Catalan areas have also produced a prominent tradition of art, architecture and urbanism. Catalan courses give you the chance to acquire another Romance language and learn about its related culture, and at the same time to discover the internal diversity of Mediterranean countries. Given the historical circumstances and the peculiar political situation of these areas, Catalan cultural production is a particularly fascinating space to explore the intricate relations between language, culture, the modern state and globalization.

Why Study Catalan at IU-Bloomington? Indiana University’s Department of Spanish and Portuguese is home to 22 tenured and tenuretrack scholars who produce cutting-edge research, integrate this into their teaching, and lead one of the top programs in the country. Our specialty areas cover a full range of fields, periods and approaches to Hispanic, Lusophone and Catalan literatures and Hispanic Linguistics, offering students a comprehensive and rigorous preparation in the discipline.

Welcome! 欢迎! huānyíng Chinese is spoken by the Han majority and many other ethnic groups in China. Nearly 1.2 billion people (around 16% of the world's population) speak some form of Chinese as their first language. It is a language spoken natively in China, Taiwan, Singapore, Malaysia, the United States, Canada, Indonesia, Philippines, and other places with significant overseas Chinese communities. There are between 7 and 13 main regional dialect groups of Chinese (depending on classification scheme), of which the most spoken, by far, is Mandarin (about 960 million). Most of these groups are mutually unintelligible, although some, like Xiang and the Southwest Mandarin dialects, may share common terms and some degree of intelligibility.

Why Study Chinese? The study of the Chinese language opens the way to different important fields such as Chinese politics, economy, history, or archaeology. But to study Chinese finally means to study a culture, a people. At the heart of Chinese civilization is its rich heritage of novels, short stories, poetry, drama, and, more recently, film. They reflect the values, the struggles, the sensibility, the joys, and the sorrows of this great people and often offer insights even into the most intimate feelings of people in the past or into high-level Beijing politics at the present that cannot be found anywhere else. These works help students understand what is behind the language, what makes it powerful, and how it actually functions in Chinese society.

Why Study Chinese at IU-Bloomington? The Chinese program at IU Bloomington offers comprehensive and coordinated language instruction from beginning to advanced levels and in both modern and classical domains. Five levels of modern Chinese (including Business Chinese) and one level of Classical Chinese are offered on a regular basis, as well as two Chinese Flagship Program courses taught at the fifthyear level.

Welcome! vítejte! Czech, formerly known as Bohemian, is a West Slavic language spoken by over 10 million people. It is the official language in the Czech Republic (where most of its speakers live), the European Union, and has minority language status in Slovakia. Czech is part of the IndoEuropean family language and has been a great influence in the Slavic culture.

Why Study Czech? The Czech Republic has recently emerged from a half-century of turbulent political instability and unease, to become one of the most promising new economies in Eastern Europe. Because of this, the Czech Republic is quickly gaining the attention of the international business and finance communities, and is rapidly becoming one of the premier locations in the region for foreign investment, mergers and production. Economics, business, and development majors interested in pursuing further study or a career in Eastern Europe may find that learning Czech gains them unique access to this emerging market, giving them a distinct advantage over those who are depending solely on their English language skills. The European Union’s recent addition of the Czech Republic also has important ramifications to students majoring in international politics. Since the EU is both a major international economic and political presence, students who have a firm grasp of both Czech and English will be in great demand as cultural and political liaisons. In general, learning Czech (or any foreign language) is a valuable and highly desired skill. You will find that doing so even gives you a greater understanding of English, which has come to be a language that symbolizes cultural melding and exchange.

Why Study Czech at IU-Bloomington? Study of the history, language, and culture of the Czech Republic (and the former Czechoslovakia) has been a part of the Indiana University curriculum for East European Studies since the early 1950s. Czech studies is taught in IU's Department of Slavic Languages and Literatures with support from the Russian and East European Institute (REEI), a U.S. Department of Education funded Title VI national resource center.

Welcome! Welkom! Dutch is spoken by approximately 23 million people in Western Europe alone and in some of the world’s favorite vacation destinations like the Caribbean, Aruba, and Netherlands Antilles which includes the islands of Curaçao, Bonaire, St. Maarten, Saba, and St. Eustatius. It has official status in

The Netherlands, in Belgium (where it is the majority language next to French and German), and in Suriname. Two of Europe’s internationally important cities, The Hague (home of the International Court of Justice) and Brussels (the capital of the European Union) fall within the Dutch language boundaries. Afrikaans, which is widely spoken in South Africa, grew out of seventeenth-century Dutch and is similar to modern Dutch. The Dutch language is also an important source language in countries as Indonesia, the USA, Brazil, and Japan.

Why Study Dutch?   



 

For employment in international business, politics and law. The Netherlands and Belgium are active members of the European Community and NATO and are long-standing allies of the U.S. The Hague houses the International Court of Justice. Business: The Netherlands is America’s top overseas market in Europe (2013). U.S. investment in the Netherlands for 2000-12, was more than fourteen times greater than in China. Since 2000, U.S. firms have invested $442 billion in the Netherlands (more than in South and Central America, the Middle East, and Africa combined). U.S. investment in the Netherlands is about 4 times greater than U.S. investment in all the so-called BRIC countries. U.S. assets in the Netherlands ($1.8 trillion) were the second largest share of U.S. foreign assets in the world in 2011. You would benefit from learning Dutch and Dutch culture if you want to work for a Dutch multi-national company such as Heineken, Philips, Shell, or Unilever (these companies support more than 700,000 jobs in the USA). The Arts: Architecture (Rem Koolhaas and others), art (Appel, Mondriaan, Rembrandt, Vermeer, Escher, Broodthaers), high fashion, music, dance, and the theater are flourishing in the Dutch-speaking world; and the very lively tradition of Dutch literature dates back to the Middle Ages. Science and Engineering: The Universities of the Low Countries are particularly famous for their research in agriculture, aquatic engineering, and city planning, but are top-notch in all areas. Other: It may not be obvious from how Dutch sounds, but apart from Frisian (which is spoken in the Dutch province of Friesland), it is the modern language closest to English and thus the easiest language to learn for native speakers of English! Dutch is the 7th most-spoken language in Europe and about the 30th most-spoken language of the 1000s of languages spoken in the world.

Why Study Dutch at IU-Bloomington? Learning a new language always means embarking on a journey into a new world. These worlds do not consist of words and structures alone – they also open up vistas into different ways of life. It is the endeavor of the Germanic Studies program to make this linguistic and cultural experience a fascinating and enjoyable one! The Germanic Studies program aims to teach our students grammatical, discourse, sociolinguistic, and strategic competence, as well as interactive and cross-

Welcome! Demotic is the ancient Egyptian script derived from northern forms of hieratic used in the Nile Delta, and the stage of the Egyptian language written in this script, following Late Egyptian and preceding Coptic. The term was first used by the Greek historian Herodotus to distinguish it from hieratic and hieroglyphic scripts. By convention, the word "Demotic" is capitalized in order to distinguish it from demotic Greek. Demotic is a development of Late Egyptian and shares much with the later Coptic phase of the Egyptian language. It was increasingly used for only literary and religious purposes, the written language diverged more and more from the spoken form, leading to significant diglossia between the Late Demotic texts and the spoken language of the time, similar to the use of classical Middle Egyptian during the Ptolemaic Period.

Why Study Demotic Egyptian? Demotic served as the medium for a wide variety of text types. These include texts such as business and legal documents, private letters and administrative inscriptions, and literary texts, including not only narrative texts and pieces of wisdom literature, but also religious and magical texts, and scientific texts dealing with topics such as astronomy, mathematics, and medicine. Demotic texts, thus not only provide important witnesses for the development of ancient Egyptian linguistic and paleographical traditions, but also constitute an indispensable source for reconstructing the social, political, and cultural life of ancient Egypt during a fascinating period of its history.

Why Study Demotic Egyptian at IU-Bloomington? The Near Eastern Languages and Cultures department distinguished and world-renowned faculty teach diverse courses on the languages, literatures, religions, history, and cultures of the Arab world and the Middle East. Many of our undergraduate majors go on to pursue graduate degrees in Middle Eastern studies and related fields or obtain professional degrees in law and business, among other areas of specialization. Graduates of the masters and doctoral programs enter careers in academia, Foreign Service, public and business administration. Our undergraduate majors and graduate students win prestigious scholarships and awards every year for their academic excellence. Our graduate students are also very active in presenting their research at various conferences and symposia. The department is also exceptionally fortunate in having a gifted and dedicated staff who keep the departmental office running seamlessly.

Welcome! Teretulnud! Estonian is the official language of Estonia, spoken natively by about 1.1 million people there and tens of thousands in various migrant communities elsewhere. It belongs to the Finnic branch of the Uralic language family. Like Finnish, Estonian employs the Latin script as the basis for its alphabet, which adds the letters ä, ö, ü, and õ, plus newer additions of š and ž.

Why Study Estonian? Estonia is one of the fastest growing economies in the European Union with an intriguing history, culture, and society on the crossroads to Scandinavia, Russia, and Central Europe. Knowing the basics of the language opens the hearts and doors of Estonians and is a definite advantage in funding applications.

Why Study Estonian at IU-Bloomington? The Estonian program in the Indiana University Department of Central Eurasian Studies (CEUS) offers students a great opportunity to learn a less commonly taught language in the Baltic region. Every year, introductory, intermediate, and advanced Estonian classes are taught by professional and enthusiastic native speakers. IU is the only university in the US that offers three levels of Estonian every year. Seize this unique opportunity and learn a less commonly taught language. Taking Estonian is a great gateway to Finno-Ugric linguistics. You can go on to learn the closely related Finnish or the more distant cousin Hungarian, both offered at IU.

Welcome! Tervetuloa! A magical language that greatly inspired J.R.R. Tolkien’s Elvish, Finnish is the language spoken by the majority of the population in Finland and by ethnic Finns outside Finland. It is one of the two official languages of Finland and an official minority language in Sweden. Finnish is the eponymous member of the Finnic language family and has over 6 million speakers worldwide.

Why Study Finnish?  

   

Not feeling that college would be challenging enough for a bright-minded individual like you? Then take Finnish for extra thrills. It is definitely a (fun) challenge for a firstlanguage English speaker. Learning Finnish is actually easier than you think as the language follows its internal logic very consistently. Finnish has, for example, only three-ish irregular verbs and does crazy compound words. Kuumailmapallolentolahjakortti ‘a gift certificate for a hot air balloon flight.’ Need we say more? Finnish swearwords sound meaner than anything other European languages can throw at you. It’s probably because of that horrible salted licorice they eat. There are significant populations of Finnish speakers in every heavy metal and/or folk music festival in the U.S. as well as in Florida, Ontario, Michigan, Minnesota, and Washington. Et tarvi enää Google Translatee tän lauseen kääntämiseen, perkele! Knowing more than one language can be a considerable asset when searching for employment after graduation. Knowing a language of a country with free universal healthcare and free higher education can be even a more considerable asset when fleeing the U.S. because of insanely high student debt after failing at job searching.

Why Study Finnish at IU-Bloomington? Indiana University is one of the few places in the U.S. where you can study Finnish language and culture. The Finnish program in the IU Department of Central Eurasian Studies (CEUS) has the coolest and most up-to-date Finnish language program in North America (we might be a little biased here but we only have your best interest in mind). Every year, introductory, intermediate, and advanced Finnish classes are taught by professional and enthusiastic firstlanguage speakers, and if seeing their faces five times a week isn’t enough, there are lots of extracurricular activities as well. Finnish is one of the languages available for the CEUS Undergraduate Major. Tracks with two or three years of language study are available. You can also receive a CEUS Minor with two years of Finnish language study and a related culture course.

Welcome! Bienvenue! French is a Romance language, belonging to the Indo-European family. French is the secondmost widespread language worldwide after English, as only these two languages are in official use on all continents. French is an official language in 29 countries, most of which form la francophonie (in French), the community of French-speaking countries. It is spoken as a first language in France, southern Belgium, western Switzerland, Monaco, the provinces of Quebec, New Brunswick and some parts of Ontario in Canada, parts of the U.S. states of Louisiana, Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont, among educated classes in North Africa, Haiti, French Polynesia and by various communities elsewhere. There are about 75 million native speakers and 338 million French speakers in total worldwide.

Why Study French? French is the only foreign language that can be useful throughout the world as well as in the United States. French as a foreign language is the second most frequently taught language in the world after English. The International Organization of Francophonie has 56 member states and governments. Of these, 28 countries have French as an official language. French is the only language other than English spoken on five continents. French and English are the only two global languages.

Why Study French at IU-Bloomington? The Department of French and Italian at Indiana University-Bloomington offers courses ranging from elementary language to doctoral seminars, with topics ranging from French dialectology to Francophone media studies; from medieval manuscripts to the Mafia in Italian film. The expertise of our 25 faculty members covers the spectrum of French and Italian language, literature, culture, and pedagogy, and we also sponsor a rich program of co-curricular activities including music, lectures, cooking, and even sports in French and Italian. French is used in various international organizations such as the United Nations, UNESCO, NATO and OECD among others.

Welcome! Willechomen! Old High German is the earliest stage of the German language, conventionally covering the period from around 500 to 1050 AD. Coherent written texts do not appear until the second half of the 8th century, and some treat the period before 750 as "prehistoric" and date the start of Old High German proper to 750 for this reason. There are, however, a number of Elder Futhark inscriptions dating to the 6th century (notably the Pforzen buckle), as well as single words and many names found in Latin texts predating the 8th century. The regions that are influenced by the language are southern Germany, parts of Austria and Switzerland, Southern Bohemia, and Sporadic communities in Eastern Gaul.

Why Study Old High German? Students who wish to study Anthropology and History will find Old High German useful in studying. The language will enable students to understand ancient texts better. A knowledge in Old High German will allow students to communicate as well as conduct research in the regions that are influenced by the language.

Why Study Old High German at IU-Bloomington? The Germanic Studies at Indiana University is a dynamic and diversified department with a rich tradition. The department offers demanding yet flexible programs in modern literary and cultural studies, medieval philology, theoretical linguistics, as well as instruction in three modern languages besides German. Undergraduate students work closely in small group settings with highly trained instructors and faculty members who have won numerous teaching awards. Many participate in programs we maintain in Freiburg, Germany, and Graz, Austria. We urge our graduate students, who come to us from across the country and all parts of the world, to work at a high level of theoretical sophistication and to develop their skills as innovative and imaginative teachers. Nearly all find work in faculty positions at research universities and liberal arts colleges. The Germanic Studies department at IU is perhaps the most congenial Germanic Studies Department in the country; it is also one of the most challenging. If you are passionately driven by intellectual curiosity - join us!

Welcome! herzlich willkommen! German is a West Germanic language. It derives most of its vocabulary from the Germanic branch of the Indo-European language family. German is spoken natively by about 100 million people, making it the most widely spoken native language in the European Union and one of the major languages of the world. German is the only official language of Germany, Austria, and Liechtenstein; one of the official languages of Switzerland, Luxembourg, and Belgium; and a recognized minor language in many other countries, such as Italy, Slovenia, Hungary, Namibia, and Poland. At the same time, German is the second most commonly used scientific language and the third largest contributor to research and development, as well as an important language in business and culture. .

Why Study German? Germany has the third largest economy in the world and is the economic powerhouse of the European Union. In 2007-- for the 5th year in a row and despite the strength of the euro currency -- the Germans were world champions in exports. The competitiveness and desirability of German products on the market are indicated by the country's substantial trade surplus, which reached 162 billion euros (209 billion dollars) in 2006 and continues to grow every year. If you're looking for employment in the United States, knowing German can give you great advantages. German companies account for 700,000 jobs in the United States, and US companies have created approximately the same number of jobs in Germany. All other things being equal, the job candidate with German skills will trump the one without such skills every time. Most surveyed companies in the United States would choose someone with German literacy over an equally qualified candidate. Germany's economic strength equals business opportunities. Multinational business opportunities exist throughout the European Union and in the Eastern European countries, where German is the second most spoken language after Russian. Companies like BMW, Daimler, Siemens, Lufthansa, SAP, Bosch, Infineon, BASF, and many others need international partners.

Why Study German at IU-Bloomington? The Germanic department boasts several instructors who are native speakers of German, the rest with near-native abilities. With a maximum of 23 students, our German language courses have a favorable teacher to student ratio. Upper-level Courses: Of all German programs in the US, Germanic Studies at IU has, perhaps, the largest variety of 300 and 400-level courses, with classes in literature, cultural history, linguistics, and a growing emphasis on film studies. We also teach a wide variety of English-language courses on German.

Ancient Greek is the form of Greek used during the periods of time spanning the 9th – 6th century BC (known as Archaic), the 5th – 4th century BC (Classical), and the 3rd century BC – 6th century AD (Hellenistic) in ancient Greece and the ancient world. It was predated in the 2nd millennium BC by Mycenaean Greek. The language of the Hellenistic phase is known as Koine (common) or Biblical Greek, while the language from the late period onward features no considerable differences from Medieval Greek. Koine is regarded as a separate historical stage of its own, although in its earlier form, it closely resembled the Classical. Prior to the Koine period, Greek of the classic and earlier periods included several regional dialects.

Why Study Classical Greek? Classical studies can provide a unique coherence, depth, and breadth in your undergraduate program, offering variety, flexibility, and scope. It allows access to the best possible foundations for a liberal arts education (a concept that itself derives from the classical tradition). Use classical studies to strengthen your knowledge and credentials, even if the main focus lies in a related field, e.g., theology, philosophy, law, political science, medicine, Biblical studies, history of science, spirituality, religious studies, patristics, archaeology, anthropology, literary studies, history, Medieval Studies, Renaissance Studies, Byzantine Studies, history of art, aesthetics, linguistics, philology, paleography, creative writing, rhetoric, communications, cultural criticism, mythology, theory and history of education, etc. Ancient Greek lives on in Modern Greek, but we learn ancient Greek primarily to read and study ancient texts written originally on papyrus (papyrology), on stone monuments (epigraphy), or coins (numismatics). The goal of a course in ancient Greek is to learn enough grammar and vocabulary to be able to read ancient Greek literature: poetry, prose, and the Greek New Testament.

Why Study Classical Greek at IU-Bloomington? Greek and Latin were the only courses offered in the early days of Indiana University (18241827), when it came into being as Indiana State Seminary and employed only one faculty member. Much has changed at Indiana University and in the study of the ancient world since those times. Today, the Department of Classical Studies has ten faculty and provides a wide range of courses for both undergraduate and graduate students in ancient Greek and Roman languages, literature, art, archaeology, and civilization, and exciting study abroad opportunities. The Department also participates actively in the newly established Program in Ancient Studies, which brings together faculty and students from twelve departments and programs for lectures, colloquia, and workshops on various aspects of antiquity.

Welcome! Καλώς ορίσατε! Modern refers to the dialects and varieties of the Greek language spoken in the modern era. The end of the Medieval Greek period and the beginning of Modern Greek is often symbolically assigned to the fall of the Byzantine Empire in 1453, even though that date marks no clear linguistic boundary and many characteristic modern features of the language arose centuries earlier, between the fourth and the fifteenth centuries AD. During most of the period, the language existed in a situation of diglossia, with regional spoken dialects existing side by side with learned, more archaic written forms, as with the demotic and learned varieties (Dimotiki and Katharevousa) that co-existed throughout much of the 19th and 20th centuries.

Why Study Modern Greek? Learning Modern Greek can help open the door to a variety of possible careers. It can be a stepping-stone to a career in the Foreign Service or other government agencies. Additionally, it can help facilitate and enrich career opportunities in international education, assisting high school teachers and college professors in planning study-abroad opportunities for their students. Careers in business and law are also possibilities. Since Greece’s merchant marine is the largest in the world in terms of tonnage, fluency in Greek combined with a law degree and a specialization in international shipping law could lead to a rewarding career that spans the great ports of the contemporary world. Additionally, there are substantial opportunities for business majors. Many American companies, such as Coca-Cola and Heinz, have elected to establish their European headquarters in Greece. Modern Greek can also help augment academic careers in a variety of fields: history, the classics, linguistics, political science, literature, folklore, and anthropology. It is a research language of growing importance and a rich field in which to conduct research.

Why Study Modern Greek at IU-Bloomington? The Modern Greek Program is an interdisciplinary program housed in West European Studies at Indiana University. We offer courses in Greek language, culture, and history to both undergraduate and graduate students. As part of our mission, we also organize lectures, conferences, film screenings, and concerts for students, faculty, and the community.

Welcome! Shalom! Classical Hebrew is the language of the Bible/Torah, a sacred religious and cultural icon, which has undeniably impacted history up to present times. Hebrew dates back more than 2000 years, and was both a language of daily life of antiquity and liturgy. Today, Hebrew has been ingeniously revived in the forms of a literary medium and a spoken lingua franca. A student of Biblical Hebrew would easily acquire modern Hebrew.

Why Study Biblical Hebrew? Studying Biblical Hebrew is fundamental to understanding Jewish societies of antiquity and modern Israel as well as Western civilization. Learning Biblical Hebrew gives students a solid foundation to understanding not only the rich literature of biblical and parabiblical literatures, such as the book of Genesis, the prophet Jeremiah, and the Dead Sea Scrolls, but also to other Jewish writings in antiquity and the Middle Ages. Students of religion, history, classics, philosophy, and archaeology alike will find Biblical Hebrew a useful learning tool. .

Why Study Biblical Hebrew at IU-Bloomington? The Jewish Studies Program offers an intimate learning environment nestled within a major research university. Our diverse student body is able to take advantage of the manifold resources IU offers in terms of global and international studies, languages, culture and the arts, academic excellence, technology, athletics, and campus life while benefitting from the type of personal attention normally associated with small liberal arts colleges. Students in our undergraduate major, certificate (8 courses), Hebrew minor, M.A., and Ph.D. minor programs are eligible for generous scholarships and fellowships (including incoming freshmen scholarships, scholarships for continuing undergraduates, fellowships for both the M.A. and Ph.D.). Through an array of extracurricular and academic activities, sponsored by the program, the Jewish Studies Student Association, and the Jewish Studies Graduate Student Association, this world leading Jewish Studies program creates a close-knit community.

Welcome! ‫!בברכה‬ Modern Hebrew also known as Israeli Hebrew or occasionally Ivrit, is one of the two official languages of Israel (along with Arabic). Modern Hebrew is spoken by about nine million people most of them citizens of Israel, of which three million are native speakers of Modern Israeli Hebrew, two million are new immigrants, one million are Israeli Arabs, and half a million are Israelis or diaspora Jews who continue to live abroad. The United States has the second largest Hebrew speaking population, with more than 400,000 fluent speakers, mostly from Israel. Palestinian people are also able to understand and speak the language to some degree.

Why Study Modern Hebrew? Modern Hebrew is a language of international significance due to the economic, political and cultural place it occupies not only in Israel but the rest of the Middle East , the US, and in fact the world stage. Moreover, it is a fascinating language because it defied its ancient status when it was innovatively revived as a fully functioning medium of written and verbal communication of contemporary times. Furthermore, Studying Hebrew offers so many career and job opportunities. Israel is fast emerging as one of the most technologically advanced economies, making it also an important trading partner with many countries. Within the US, Hebrew is considered by the government and the military as one of its critical languages which automatically offers stable, career opportunities with many prospects in Journalism, Intelligence, Translation, Trade and Diplomacy. Considering the historical heritage and immense impact of Hebrew through the Bible/Torah, students of history, anthropology, comparative religion and ancient civilizations will have a useful tool for research. Exchange students and tourists will find no problem communicating with native speakers.

Why Study Modern Hebrew at IU-Bloomington? The Hebrew language curriculum at IUB consists of a four-year sequence of Language and Literature courses. The undergraduate courses are offered through the Jewish Studies Program and the Graduate courses are offered through the NELC (Near Eastern Languages and Cultures) Department. Undergraduate students may earn a Minor in Hebrew through the Jewish Studies Program. Our diverse student body is able to take advantage of the manifold resources IU offers in terms of global and international studies, languages, culture and the arts, academic excellence, technology, athletics, and campus life while benefitting from the type of personal attention normally associated with small liberal arts colleges.

To determine whether students should start their Hebrew studies at the very beginning or should skip to a higher language level, students with prior Hebrew background are required to take the Online Hebrew Placement Exam or the Hebrew Proficiency Exam. These exams determine if students may skip a level and whether they may receive any special or transfer Hebrew language credit for some of the levels they skip.

Study Abroad Opportunities The Jewish Studies Program at IU encourages study of the Jewish people and Judaism as a way to enhance knowledge of Jewish civilization.

Welcome! वेलकम ! પધારો! Hindi, or more precisely Modern Standard Hindi, is the fourth most widely spoken language in the world and one of the official languages of India. It is a part of the Indo-European language family and has over 300 million native speakers. Outside of Asia, Hindi is also an official language in Fiji.

Why Study Hindi? Hindi and India are rapidly growing in importance in our contemporary world with increasing globalization and the IT industry, and a growing consumer market in South Asia. Hindi is the national language of the Republic of India and the most widely spoken language in South Asia, so it serves as a lingua franca across northern India. It is also the language of a long literary tradition, both in modern prose and poetry, as well as pre-modern secular and devotional poetry. Since the early 20th century Hindi cinema has become increasingly popular around the world

Why Study Hindi at IU-Bloomington? The India Studies Program offers 3 years of Hindi language instruction. In the first year, Hindi and Urdu are taught in the same classroom. Undergraduate students can fulfill their foreign language requirement with two years of Hindi. We also offer an Independent Study (Readings in Hindi) for those who want to continue to improve their linguistic skills and to explore Hindi literature seriously. IU is the only institution in Indiana, and one of only two in the Midwest, where students can learn this critical language.

Welcome! Fogadtatás! Hungarian is the official language of Hungary and one of the 24 official languages of the European Union. Outside Hungary it is also spoken by communities of Hungarian people in neighboring countries—especially in Romania, Slovakia, Serbia, and Ukraine—and by Hungarian diaspora communities worldwide. Like Finnish and Estonian, it belongs to the Uralic language family, with its closest relatives being Mansi and Khanty. It is one of the few languages of Europe that are not part of the Indo-European family. Hungarian has approximately 13-14 million native speakers.

Why Study Hungarian? Knowing the Hungarian language can help you enter a variety of professional careers, such as the international programs, area studies in the academic world, positions with the State Department, and the world of corporate business. For countries like Hungary, the domestic market is small, so even the smallest Hungarian firms need to learn to be global to compete. However, Hungary is accustomed to dealing with a multitude of cultures. Geographically, it is at the crossroads of four different cultures, namely the Byzantine, Slavic, Latin, and Germanic cultures. Learning Hungarian will open you to the rich traditions, unique customs, and history of Hungary.

Why Study Hungarian at IU-Bloomington? The Hungarian language program at the Central Eurasian Studies Department (CEUS) gives students a great opportunity to get acquainted with a unique European language that belongs to the Finno-Ugric language group. During every academic year, three levels of language teaching (two semesters each of Introductory, Intermediate, and Advanced) are offered with small class sizes and highly qualified native-speaker teachers who enjoy teaching very much. In class, the focus is placed on the four language skills: reading, writing, speaking, and listening, while also taking into consideration the cultural aspects of the language. Summer intensive language instruction is also available for the first year of study through SWSEEL.

Welcome! Selamat Datang! Indonesian is spoken by about 250 million people living in Indonesia as the national language that unites different ethnic groups with over 400 different indigenous languages. Originally, it was a lingua franca in the Indonesian Archipelago and neighboring Southeast Asia countries such as Malaysia and Singapore. In the past, Indonesian literature was written in simple Arabic but now it uses Latin scripts and absorbed vocabulary from different languages such as Arabic, Dutch, English, Portuguese, and Javanese.

Why Study Indonesian? Studying Indonesian (Bahasa Indonesia) opens you to the rich culture of the dynamic Indonesian Archipelago. This chain of islands stretches along the equator between two continents, Asia and Australia, as well as two oceans, the Indian and the Pacific. Currently, Indonesian is on the U.S. government’s list of critical languages. The geopolitical position of Indonesia as the largest Muslim country in the world has made the language all the more important. In the U.S., fewer than 300 students enrolled in Indonesian language courses in 2009. Given the large number of people that speak Indonesian and the small number of American students that study it, there are great opportunities for anyone that chooses to take Indonesian! A working knowledge of Indonesian will also help you understand the literature, arts, history, movies, politics, economy and other aspects of Indonesian people’s lives.

Why Study Indonesian at IU-Bloomington? Indonesian language and culture classes are hosted at the recently established Southeast Asian Studies (SEAS) at IUB. Along with the rich tradition of teaching world languages, Indiana University Bloomington provides various forms of supports for less commonly taught languages, including Indonesian.

Welcome! 歓迎! Japanese is an East Asian language spoken by about 125 million speakers, primarily in Japan, where it is the national language. It is a member of the Japonic (or Japanese-Ryukyuan) language family. Japanese is the official and primary language of in Japan and recognized minority language in Palau. Japanese is relatively small but has a lexically distinct pitch-accent system. Early Japanese is known largely on the basis of its state in the 8th century, when the three major works of Old Japanese were compiled. The earliest attestation of the Japanese language is in a Chinese document from 252 AD. Japanese is written with a combination of three scripts: hiragana (derived from the Chinese cursive script), katakana (derived as a shorthand from Chinese characters), and kanji (imported from China). The Latin alphabet, rōmaji, is also often used in modern Japanese, especially for company names and logos, advertising, and when inputting Japanese into a computer. The Hindu-Arabic numerals are generally used for numbers, but traditional Sino-Japanese numerals are also common.

Why Study Japanese? Japan is a country with an extremely rich culture and history and its natural beauty is overwhelming for any visitor. Many elements of the Japanese culture, both modern and classic, found their way into Western culture. Japan is known for setting quite a few trends. Knowing the language enables you to read Japanese websites and newspapers, so you will be ahead of your friends in setting the newest trend. Learning another foreign language can have a major impact on your personal life. Most people add their Spanish or French language abilities onto their resume, but very few people can prove that they know Japanese. An employer who has Japanese business partners would be highly interested in you and your multilingual skills. You can use Japanese language skills for getting a better job in a large multinational company.

Why Study Japanese at IU-Bloomington? East Asian Languages and Cultures (EALC) is IU's central department for study of all aspects of East Asian language, civilization, and society. Home to 31 faculty members, the department is large enough to encompass the diversity of East Asian cultures, from contemporary politics to ancient philosophy, yet small enough to provide a close, collegial environment for teaching and research. We offer Chinese (Mandarin), Japanese, and Korean from beginning to advanced levels, and a full range of courses on East Asian literature, history, politics, religion, and art. Our undergraduate degree programs build the foundation for careers in teaching and research, international business and law, the foreign service, and cultural institutions. At the graduate level, our programs are tailored to meet students' individual needs and interests, yet all combine rigorous training in East Asian languages with extensive study in their chosen disciplines.

Welcome! Қош келдіңіз!! The Kazakh language has its speakers (mainly Kazakhs) spread over a vast territory from the Tian Shan mountains to the western shore of Caspian Sea. Kazakh is the official state language of Kazakhstan, in which nearly 10 million speakers are reported to live. In the People's Republic of China, more than one million ethnic Kazakhs and Kazakh speakers reside in the Ili Kazakh Autonomous Prefecture within the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region. There are also 560,000 Kazakh speakers in Russia. The language is the official language for Kazakhstan and Altai Republic, a federal region of Russia. A member of the Turkic language family, Kazakh shares many structural similarities to languages such as Turkish, Altay, Uzbek, Uyghur, and Turkmen, as well as being largely mutually intelligible with Kyrgyz.

Why Study Kazakh? Kazakhstan, strategically situated between Russia and China, is the largest country in Central Asia (four times the size of Texas and with a lot more oil!), with the largest economy, the second largest population, and the most trade with the United States. Business partnerships with Kazakhstan and the U.S. are growing, and creating a demand for educated Americans who can speak (fluent) Kazakh. American companies are trying to deliver oil and gas resources to world markets. It’s also important for issues like international terrorism, controlling drug trafficking, and stopping nuclear proliferation. The revival of the Kazakh language is an exciting story—and just by learning Kazakh, you become part of it. Even before it became independent in 1991, Kazakhs made their own language, Kazakh, the official one, replacing Russian. It was always spoken in the countryside, but now it’s pushing out Russian on the city streets. Knowing Kazakh opens up the rich history and culture of Kazakhs. Kazakh language skills are a powerful means to gain confidence and respect of Kazakhs. Kazakhs appreciate foreigners who take the time to learn their language and share their unique way of life. Additionally, knowing Kazakh can give you an edge in applying for graduate fellowships at the State Department, the CIA, and the FBI, not to mention international business and law opportunities.

Why Study Kazakh at IU-Bloomington? The Department of Central Eurasian Studies (CEUS) at Indiana University offers courses in Kazakh language, its culture, history, and society. The Summer Workshop in Slavic, East European and Central Asian Languages (SWSEEL) at Indiana University offers intensive courses of Kazakh.If you are an IU student, you have a unique opportunity to learn Kazakh – we have the country’s best Kazakh program, with three levels: Introductory, Intermediate, and Advanced. 60

Welcome! 환영합니다! Korean is the official language of South Korea and North Korea, as well as one of the two official languages in China's Yanbian Korean Autonomous Prefecture. About 80 million people speak Korean worldwide and the language has about 75 million native speakers. It is the official language in South Korea, North Korea, Yanbian and Changbai in China.

Why Study Korean? Korean is the sixteenth most widely spoken language in the world, spoken by more than 78 million people. The number of Korean language learners has remarkably grown in the past several decades beyond the Korean peninsula and overseas Korean communities - a growth due partly to South Korea’s increasingly visible roles in the world economy, technological innovation, and global popular culture. The Korean language has many other interesting linguistic and cultural features, such as multiple speech levels, honorific expressions, and different particles that indicate grammatical relations in a sentence. Korea has been shaped by the influences of other countries in Asia like: India, China, and Japan. While the cultures and languages different in many ways, they do share some similarities when it comes to languages. Learning one of their languages makes learning one of the others a lot easier because of their similarities in grammar structure, social etiquette, and borrowed vocabulary. Knowledge of a second language increases your potential business opportunities because businesses planning to break into international markets should understand that communicating in your target country’s native language increases confidence and builds trust among both parties. To truly understand a language is examine the culture that surrounds it. Korea has a fascinating culture with K-pop and dramas, and the biggest competitive gaming scene. Korea has a rich cultural history dating back a thousand years for you to explore.

Why Study Korean at IU-Bloomington? EALC is IU's central department for study of all aspects of East Asian language, civilization, and society. Home to 31 faculty members, the department is large enough to encompass the diversity of East Asian cultures, from contemporary politics to ancient philosophy, yet small enough to provide a close, collegial environment for teaching and research.

Welcome! Be kher hati!

‫خبري هايت‬

In its various dialects, Kurdish is a Western Iranian language spoken by the Kurdish peoples in modern-day Mesopotamia and Anatolian Peninsula. The Kurdish languages are divided into four dialect groups, known as Kurmanji (or Northern Kurdish), Sorani (Central Kurdish), Pehlewani (Southern Kurdish), and Laki (and sometimes also Zazaki). Estimates put the number of Kurdish speakers between 20 and 30 million native speakers in total. It is recognized as an official language along with Arabic in Iraq.

Why Study Sorani Kurdish? The Sorani Kurdish dialect uses a modified Perso-Arabic script while Kurmanji Kurdish dialect is written in a Latin script. Sorani is spoken in the Erbil and Sulemani governorates or Iraq, while Kurmanji is spoken in the Duhok governorate and some parts of Erbil governorate. As the region’s Kurdish-language media has developed and the population has moved, today nearly all people in the Kurdistan Region can speak or understand both of the major dialects. The Kurdistan Regional Government’s policy is to promote the two main dialects in the education system and the media.

Why Study Kurdish at IU-Bloomington? The Department of Near Eastern Languages and Cultures introduces people, languages, cultures, and societies of the Near and Middle East to the students. Beyond the development of skills in one or more of the languages of the region, a wide variety of directions of study is available to students. We offer a major leading to the Bachelor of Arts degree, and minors in Arabic, Persian, Islamic Studies, and Near Eastern Civilization. Courses in Near Eastern literatures and cultures, many of which are open to students with no knowledge of these languages, may be used in conjunction with other disciplines such as Comparative Literature, English, Folklore, and Linguistics, or to satisfy college distribution requirements. Many courses can also be taken as electives.

Welcome! Be kher hati! Kyrgyz is spoken as a first or second language by over 4.5 million people throughout Central Asia, most notably in Kyrgyzstan, China, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, and Afghanistan. Additionally, large populations of Kyrgyz speakers can be found in Russia, Turkey, and even the U.S. It is the official language of Kyrgyzstan and is a part of the Turkic family.

Why Study Kyrgyz? Kyrgyzstan is the only parliamentary democracy in the former Soviet Central Asia. Since gaining Independence in 1991, Kyrgystan has had five presidents, including Roza Otunbayeva, the first woman president in a former-Soviet Central Asian country! Of all the Turkic peoples of Central Asia, the Kyrgyz have preserved their nomadic culture the best. Visitors to Kyrgyzstan can still visit nomads in yurts (a circular tent of felt or skins on a collapsible framework) amid snowcapped mountains. There are over 88 major mountain ranges in Kyrgyzstan, making up about more than 70 percent of the country’s territory. Small in population, Kyrgyzstan has played an important strategic role for US policy in the region. The “Tulip Revolution” of 2005 which overthrew the post-Soviet strongman and the controversy over the American use of Manas Air Base have both brought Kyrgyzstan into the news. Kyrgyz language is famous for the “Manas” epic, one of the greatest epic traditions of world culture.

Why Study Kyrgyz at IU-Bloomington? IU has gathered leading specialists, impressive library collections, and top-quality academic resources to create the nation's premier program in Central Eurasian Studies. The Department of Central Asian Studies has long been one of the world's leading centers of academic expertise on Central Eurasia as well as the sole independent degree-granting academic unit staffed with its own faculty of specialists. IU offers a unique area studies program, emphasizing language proficiency and a thorough grounding in indigenous cultures. The program provides students with the means to study in depth a region of specialization in the Central Eurasian area through mastery of one or more languages as well as the history and culture of a given region by means of a multidisciplinary approach. The Department's programs offer exciting possibilities for study and research as well as wideranging opportunities for careers in academia, government, and international business.

Welcome! Taŋyáŋ yahí! Lakota is a Siouan language spoken by the Lakota people of the Sioux tribes. Though generally taught and considered by speakers as a separate language, Lakota is mutually intelligible with the other two languages, and is considered by most linguists one of the three major varieties of the Sioux language (Lakota, Western Dakota, and Eastern Dakota). The Lakota language represents one of the largest Native American language speech communities in the United States, with approximately 6,000 speakers living mostly in northern plains states of North Dakota and South Dakota. The language was first put into written form by missionaries around 1840 and has since evolved to reflect contemporary needs and usage.

Why Study Lakota? Learning Lakota helps to preserve and promote the awareness of the Native American culture. The language helps to facilitate understanding in the native learning process and curriculum. The ability to speak Lakota will help students to travel and speak to the Lakota people. Students will also gain an in-depth understanding of the culture.

Why Study Lakota at IU-Bloomington? IU Anthropology is a top national program engaging the breadth of the discipline. The department is committed to a holistic approach for exploring what it means to be human, including human biology, social and cultural experience, human-environment interactions, linguistic and artistic expression, and evolutionary processes from the deep past to the present. You will find engaging classes on topics that interest you. You can work with recognized faculty members on cutting edge research and apply your knowledge through research trips, internships, teaching, museum and laboratory work.

Welcome! Hospitium! Latin was brought to Italy about 1000 BC by Indo-European immigrants. It began, as all languages do, as an isolated local tongue of a small territory on the Tiber River called Latium. As the people in Latium developed into an organized community, the city of Rome was eventually founded in, according to legend, 753 BC. It was the official language of the Roman Republic and later of the western half of the Roman Empire. After the fall of the Western Empire toward the end of the 5th century, Latin continued to be the academic lingua franca of Western Europe until the end of the 17th century. Along with the extinct languages Oscan, Umbrian, and Faliscan, it belongs to the Italic branch of the Indo-European languages. It is the official language in Vatican City and the Sovereign Military Order of Malta.

Why Study Latin? No other language and no other city has had so much influence--and for so long a time--on our own culture than the Latin language and culture. Students of ancient, medieval, or early modern history should be able to study the original Latin documents (archives, local histories, inscriptions), many of which have not been translated; students of English literature should be familiar with the ancient authors who were used either as models or objects of emulation by the great English writers of earlier ages; students of philosophy or religion should be familiar with the Latin sources in their fields.

Why Study Latin at IU-Bloomington? Today, the Department of Classical Studies has ten faculty and provides a wide range of courses for both undergraduate and graduate students in ancient Greek and Roman languages, literature, art, archaeology, and civilization, and exciting study abroad opportunities. The Department also participates actively in the newly established Program in Ancient Studies, which brings together faculty and students from twelve departments and programs for lectures, colloquia, and workshops on various aspects of antiquity.

Welcome! Willechomen! Old Church Slavonic (OCS), also known as Old Church Slavic and Old Bulgarian was the first Slavic literary language. The 9th-century Byzantine Greek missionaries Saints Cyril and Methodius are credited with standardizing the language and using it in translating the Bible and other Ancient Greek ecclesiastical texts as part of the Christianization of the Slavic peoples. It is thought to have been based primarily on the Bulgarian dialect of the 9th century Byzantine Slavs living in the Province of Thessalonica (now in Greek Macedonia). It played an important role in the history of the Slavic languages and served as a basis and model for later Church Slavonic traditions, and some Eastern Orthodox and Eastern Catholic churches use this later Church Slavonic as a liturgical language to this day. As the oldest attested Slavic language, OCS provides important evidence for the features of Proto-Slavic, the reconstructed common ancestor of all Slavic languages.

Why Study Old Church Slavonic? Students who wish to study Anthropology, History, or Religions will find Old Church Slavonic useful in studying. The language will enable students to understand ancient religious texts better. A knowledge in Old Church Slavonic will allow students to communicate as well as conduct research on Christianization in the Slavic regions.

Why Study Old Church Slavonic at IU-Bloomington? The Department of Slavic and East European Languages and Cultures (SLAV) offers courses that meet a wide range of needs and interests in Russian, Polish, Czech, Bosnian - Croatian Serbian, Ukrainian, Romanian and Old Church Slavonic. Advanced language courses are not only for the department's majors, but also for students specializing in other disciplines, particularly in the social sciences, natural sciences, and other languages and literatures. The department offers literature, culture, and film courses that require no knowledge of a Slavic or East European language and that can be taken by any student interested in the Russian, Slavic, and East European area.

Welcome! Kíimak 'oolal! Maya, called Màaya by its speakers, belongs to the group of languages called Mayan, of which Maya is a distinct language. The language and its speakers are all referred to as Maya. To native speakers, it is preferably known only as Maya – "Yucatec" is a tag linguists use to distinguish it from other Mayan languages (such as K'iche' and Itza' Maya). Maya remains the first language of about 900,000 native speakers today.

Why Study Maya? Maya is a language that dates back 5000 years! It is currently spoken in Yucatan, a Mexican state. The Yucatan were participants in the Maya civilization, whose calendar, architecture, and hieroglyphic writing marked them as a highly civilized people. The modern Maya range from groups highly conservative of their culture to groups almost completely acculturated to modern life. Knowledge of Maya can be extremely useful for students in a diverse number of fields, ranging from Comparative Religion, Anthropology Archaelogy, and History to Latin American and Caribbean and International Studies. Studying Maya can improve students’ understanding in historical scriptures and documents of the Maya peoples. Students who plan to specialize in linguistics, Spanish literature, and Latino Studies will also want to take advantage of this opportunity.

Why Study Maya at IU-Bloomington? The Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies (CLACS) was founded in 1963 (originally as the Latin American Studies Program) as an umbrella organization uniting Latin Americanists from all campuses of Indiana University (IU). CLACS provides interdisciplinary academic programs in Latin American and Caribbean Studies to students preparing for careers in research, teaching, or management in public, private, or nonprofit sectors. CLACS offers an undergraduate minor and area certificate, a Master's degree, three-year Dual Master's Degree programs (Business Administration, Library Science, Information Science, Law, Public Health, and Public Affairs) and a doctoral minor and certificate. Our courses provide students beginning lessons in speaking, writing, and reading Maya, as well as the basic tools to language-learning and an introduction to cultural-historical contexts of the Maya. The instructor brings over 20 years of research experience with the Maya into the classroom as a basis to understand how to use the language within social and cultural contexts. Ethnographic films are used in the class to discuss cultural norms and ways of living among the Maya. 74

Welcome! тавтай морилно уу! Mongolian is spoken by over 7 million people, not just in Mongolia, but also in some parts of China (Inner Mongolia and Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region) and Russia (Buryatia and Kalmykia) as well. As a member of the Altaic language family,Mongolian shares structural similarities to Turkic and Tungusic language groups. The Mongolian vocabulary is rich in early Turkic, Sanskrit, Tibetan, and Chinese elements that reflect the country’s nomadic, Buddhist, and Asian heritage. Mongolian continues to adopt words from Russian and English, but very much retains its own distinctive character.

Why Study Mongolian? Learning Mongolian is the gateway for discovering the unique nomadic culture and the great history of Genghis Khan (Chinggis Khaan in Mongol) and his descendants. Today Mongolia has become a captivating tourist destination and a site of competition for the world’s mining industries. Mongolia as an emerging democracy is becoming a center of international attention and an entrepreneurial magnet. Learning Mongolian can even help you build a career. The Peace Corps, the US State Department, mining companies, and non-profits are only a few of the American organizations working in Mongolia. Learning the language and culture will enhance your chances to seize these opportunities. While you don’t need to know Mongolian to order at a Mongolian BBQ restaurant (because it isn’t actually Mongolian!), most bigger cities do have Mongolian restaurants, and you can impress your friends by ordering your buuz in Mongolian!

Why Study Mongolian at IU-Bloomington? Indiana University is the only university in American continent which offers a Mongolian program and formal Mongolian instruction for three levels—Introductory, Intermediate, and Advanced Mongolian—as a part of a university degree during the academic year. Introductory Mongolian has also been available during summer. Small classes, individual attention, friendly and fun atmosphere, well-designed textbooks, a fully developed curriculum, scholarship opportunities for future studies and study abroad, and fun extracurricular activities (conversation hours, movies etc.) are some of the highlights of our Mongolian language teaching. We are dedicated to enabling all our language learners to achieve their learning goals to the best of their ability.

Welcome! Velkommen! Norwegian (Norsk) is a North Germanic language spoken primarily in Norway, where it is the official language. Together with Swedish and Danish, Norwegian forms a continuum of more or less mutually intelligible local and regional variants. The language has about 5 million native speakers primarily in Norway. It is a part of the Indo-European language family and uses the Latin with Norwegian alphabets writing system.

Why Study Norwegian? Students study Norwegian to gain an insider’s perspective on the diverse riches of this Northern European country. By learning the Norwegian language, students build an understanding of the people, the culture, and the history of the country, and an appreciation for how these factors contribute to make Norway a serious participant in our globalized world. Learning Norwegian also gives the students the opportunity to read and understand Swedish and Danish, as the three languages are closely related. For several years in a row Norway has topped the United Nations Human Development Index. But what is behind the figures? Join the Norwegian Program at IU and get acquainted with the leader in environmental policy, gender equality, peace brokering, and humanitarian aid.

Why Study Norwegian at IU-Bloomington? The Department of Germanic Studies offers four semesters of Norwegian language instruction: K100 through K250. Two years of Norwegian will fulfill the foreign language requirement for the BA degree in the College of Arts and Sciences. You can continue into the fifth semester through Independent Study. Courses are also offered in English every year, carrying Arts and Humanities credit and Culture Studies credit. Topics include: Ibsen and Strindberg, The Multicultural North, Masterpieces of Scandinavian Literature, and Ethnic and Immigrant Folklore. The department also offers S491 Scandinavian Language for Reading Knowledge, as well as E361 Vikings and Sagas - an introduction to Viking culture and its reflections in selected sagas.

Welcome! pakheyr! Pashto, alternatively spelled Paxto, Pukhto, Pakhto, or Pushto, also known in older literature as Afghānī is an Eastern Iranian language, belonging to the Indo-European family. Pashto is the native language of the Pashtun people of South-Central Asia, and one of the two official languages of Afghanistan. It is also the second-largest regional language of Pakistan, mainly spoken in the west and northwest of the country and the main language among the Pashtun diaspora around the world. The total number of Pashto-speakers is estimated to be 45–60 million people worldwide.

Why Study Pashto? Because of US involvement with Afghanistan over the past decade, those who study Pashto can find careers in a variety of fields including translation and interpreting, consulting, foreign service and intelligence, journalism, and many others. NGOs and other enterprises that deal with Afghanistan desperately need Americans who speak Pashto and understand Pashtun culture. Poetry is a big part of Pashtun culture and it has been for centuries. In the city of Herat, women, men, and children gather on Thursday night to share verses from old and new poetry. Pashtuns live by Pashtunwali (the code of honor) which consists of principles such as hospitality, assistance, giving asylum, and honor of women, etc. This code applies to each Pashtun’s day-to-day life as well as operating at the village, tribe, and country level.

Why Study Pashto at IU-Bloomington? No other university in America teaches so many years of Pashto! Classroom activities use the textbook and authentic teaching materials developed at Indiana University, including reading passages, audio files, pictures, and video clips. As you study Pashto with us, you will quickly learn to read and write Arabic-Pashto script, and speak in Pashto with your classmates and with native speakers.

Welcome! !‫خوش آمديد‬ Persian is the predominant modern descendant of Old Persian, a southwestern Iranian language within the Indo-Iranian branch of the Indo-European languages. It is primarily spoken in Iran, Afghanistan (officially known as Dari Persian since 1958 for political reasons), and Tajikistan (officially known as Tajiki Persian since the Soviet era for political reasons), and some other regions which historically came under Persian influence. There are approximately 110 million Persian speakers worldwide, with the language holding official status in Iran, Afghanistan and Tajikistan. For centuries, Persian has also been a prestigious cultural language in other regions of Western Asia, Central Asia, and South Asia by the various empires based in the regions.

Why Study Persian? Every day, there’s news from Iran or Afghanistan on TV, radio, newspapers, and the web. To really understand events that are shaping the world today, learn Persian: the official language of Iran and Afghanistan. Persian is the easiest Middle Eastern language for English speakers to learn. Knowledge of Persian will help you learn Turkic, Arabic, Urdu, Hindi, and other languages and pursue a variety of exciting careers in government, international business, or education. Long before French or English, Persian was the international language. Architecture, music, novels, painting: Persian language is the key to the beauties of medieval Persian culture – and a vibrant modern culture as well. Iranian film makers are pushing the boundaries with some of the most exciting movies in modern times. The challenging ideas of Iran’s modern intellectuals have been shaping reform and revolution throughout the whole Muslim and developing world.

Why Study Persian at IU-Bloomington? The Persian program in the Indiana University Department of Central Eurasian Studies (CEUS) offers students a great opportunity to learn an ancient language of politics and culture, a language now spoken by over 100 million people in Iran, Afghanistan, and Central Asia. Every year, we offer introductory, intermediate, and advanced Persian classes taught by professional and enthusiastic native speakers. During the summer, SWSEEL offers courses in Persian’s close cousin, Tajik.

Welcome! Powitanie! Polish is a West Slavic language spoken by 50 million people. It is the official language of Poland, but it is also spoken by several million people in Western Europe, South and North America, as well as Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa. Polish is one of the official languages of the European Union, and it is a recognized minority language in the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Romania, and Ukraine. It is the second most widely spoken Slavic language, after Russian.

Why Study Polish? Did you know that English-speaking IT and finance specialists who know Polish as a second language earn 38% more in the United Kingdom than those who only know English? In an increasingly globalized world, the knowledge of a foreign language – especially one that is less commonly taught - is an indispensable skill that always translates into a competitive edge in the job market. Poland is a key member state of the European Union and NATO, and a leading trade partner of the United States in Central Europe. It is also one of the new economic engines in that region, and one of the major players in fostering economic growth and in promoting human rights and regional cooperation in Central and Eastern Europe. For these reasons, knowledge of Polish is of growing value in nearly every field, and it opens doors to a wide range of career opportunities in areas including business, diplomacy, tourism, media, education, journalism, as well as translation and interpreting.

Why Study Polish at IU-Bloomington? The study of Poland, its language, culture, and history, has been a part of Indiana University’s curriculum for decades, and has continued to expand as an area of focus in IU coursework. IU has several faculty members who are from Poland and/or specialize in aspects of Polish studies, in fields such as language, linguistics, culture, film, ethnic identity, political science, sociology, law, geography, international relations, music, comparative literature, history, journalism, and information and library science. A host of extracurricular activities and events are organized for language practice and networking, including a series of themed Polish Nights and a biweekly translation workshop. The IU Polish Studies Center organizes numerous events throughout the year and serves as a clearinghouse for all things Polish (including its own video and print collection). There is also a Polish Cultural Association at IU that offers programming in conjunction with the Polish Studies Center. The Russian and East European Institute maintains a lending library of documentary and feature films, including those from and about Poland. Likewise, the IU Wells Library has a massive collection of over 52,000 holdings in the Polish language and over 45,000 holdings about Poland.

In addition to the year-long programs with both universities, Indiana University also participates in a summer exchange program with Warsaw University, in which one faculty member and one graduate student are funded to pursue language training and research. Indiana University has a long history of offering opportunities to study overseas and is a nationally recognized leader in the field, ranked seventh among research institutions in having the most students earning academic credit abroad.

Welcome! Haykuykuy! Quechua is the language of the Inca Empire, currently spoken by more than 13 million people in the Andean republics of South America, an area extending from southern Colombia to northern Argentina and Chile (and including Bolivia, Peru, and Ecuador). It is the official language for people in Peru, Ecuador, and Bolivia. It is the most widely spoken language family of the indigenous peoples of the Americas.

Why Study Quechua? Studying Quechua will earn students the ability to speak Quechua, as well as insights into the indigenous world and Andean patterns of thought. Students who are studying anthropology and interested in learning an indigenous language will find Quechua an exciting language to learn. Learning Inga (the northernmost dialect of the Quechua language family), also known as Runa Simi ("the mouth or tongue of human beings") opens a gateway into the many wonders of indigenous cultures in the Andes.

Why Study Quechua at IU-Bloomington? Indiana University is happy to announce the exciting opportunity to study Quechua, the language of the Incas, through the Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies (CLACS) in the College of Arts and Sciences. CLACS currently supports the study of Inga, the northernmost dialect of the Quechua language family. The Quechua language and Quechua-speaking peoples are also the focus of intensive research by IU faculty and students, with an emphasis on language preservation, on genres of mythic narrative and ritual speech, on traditional healing, and on dialect studies within the Quechuan family of languages. Materials in preparation include studies on the traditional discourse of Inga elders, on the Quichua song repertoire of Otavalo Runa, and on language policy in the Arequipa region of Perú.

Welcome! bun venit! Romanian is the native language of roughly 24 million people who live primarily in Romania and Moldova, and is spoken as a second language by another 4 million. An official language of the European Union and the Latin Union, it has official status in Romania, Moldova, Transnistria, and the Vojvodina region of Serbia, and is also spoken by large numbers of migrants to Italy, Spain, Germany, and other western countries.

Why Study Romanian? Romanian is a Romance language that has maintained a great deal of the grammatical structure and vocabulary of Latin, but is also marked by the significant influence of Romania's Slavic neighbors and by numerous borrowings from Greek, German, Hungarian, and Turkish. Romanian is useful for students of Romance linguistics, Orthodox civilization, Eastern European musical culture, and Western European migrant life, as well as diplomats, expatriates, and volunteers who intend to live or work in Romania, Moldova, or the border regions of Ukraine and Serbia. Romania's culture is a unique hybrid of the Latin, Slavic, and Orthodox civilizations, and its distinctive geographical position has given rise to a surprisingly diverse array of poetic, musical, cinematic, and culinary styles. Many Romanians claim descent from the Dacians, an ancient people indigenous to the Balkans, but are also intensely proud of the culture of the Romans who gave them their language, and of the heritage of the many Slavs, Germans, and Hungarians who have assimilated into Romania's rich culture over the course of its historical evolution.

Why Study Romanian at IU-Bloomington? Study of the history, language, and culture of Romania has been part of the Indiana University curriculum for East European studies since the early 1950s. In its Russian and East European Institute (REEI) and Department of Slavic and East European Languages & Cultures, Indiana University offers: one of the largest concentrations of Romanian studies specialists in the United States; three years of language instruction during the academic year and a summer intensive language program; library resources sufficient to support advanced research in Romanian studies; strong relationships with Romanian institutions of higher learning; and regular international conferences on Romanian topics.

Why Study Russian? Proficiency in Russian, a critical language, opens many doors. There are numerous job openings in such government bodies as the State Department, the Commerce Department, the Justice Department, the Department of Defense, and the various intelligence agencies. Unlimited commercial opportunities are emerging from an expanding Russian economy. Western firms which now do business in Russia as well as newly established Russian firms which do business with the West (and indeed with everyone) have created myriad job opportunities for those with multiple language skills. Meanwhile, Russia remains the lingua franca of a massive portion of Eurasia, so studying it opens you up to numerous NGOs, companies and government bodies both in that region and at home.

Why Study Russian at IU-Bloomington? Russian language program in the Department of Slavic and East European Languages is one of the oldest and most renowned in the country, offering five years of Russian language instruction during the academic year and six years during the summer intensive program (SWSEEL).

Welcome! स्वागतम!् With its 3500+-year history, Sanskrit is one of the world’s oldest languages. Once the lingua franca of the South Asian subcontinent, Sanskrit remains the primary liturgical language of Hinduism and the main language of religious texts for Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism. Today it is listed as one of the 22 scheduled languages of India and there is a move afoot to make it India’s national language.

Why Study Sanskrit? While you couldn’t use Sanskrit to bargain for mangoes in the market, it remains the liturgical language for Hindus. As the oldest of the extant Indo-European languages, Sanskrit is important for linguists and scholars interested in the ancient world and the connections between language(s) and civilization(s). Even today scholars can debate fine points of grammar using Sanskrit. And with the current move to make Sanskrit the national language, it becomes an important figure in contemporary Indian politics.

Why Study Sanskrit at IU-Bloomington? We offer three years of study of Sanskrit, and undergraduates can use this language to fulfill their foreign language requirement. Many of the 30+ faculty members in the Dhar India Studies Program conduct research using Sanskrit-language source materials. IU-B is the only institution in the state of Indiana, and one of two in the entire Midwest, where students can learn this language.

Welcome! Kuwakaribisha! The Swahili language, also known as Kiswahili, is a Bantu language and the first language of the Swahili people. It is a lingua franca of the African Great Lakes region and other parts of Southeast Africa, including Tanzania, Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi, Mozambique and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The closely related Comorian language, spoken in the Comoros Islands, is sometimes considered a dialect. There are around fifteen million people speak Swahili as their first language, it is used as a lingua franca in much of Southeast Africa. It is the official language in Tanzania, Uganda, the African Union and Kenya.

Why Study Swahili? Swahili is the most widely spoken African Language in Sub-Saharan Africa. It is the national language of Tanzania and Kenya, and is also spoken widely in Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi, Democratic Republic of Congo and the Comoros. Current estimates place the number of speaker at 100 million people. Swahili is the only native language from Africa included among the official languages of the African Union and its status as a lingua franca in the east and central African region makes it an important language to learn. Swahili belongs to the Bantu group of languages but it has borrowed a lot of words from Arabic. This has come about as a result of over 10 centuries of contact with the Arabian Peninsula. Flourishing trade between the East African coastal towns and the Persian Gulf and Asia elevated Swahili as a trade language. Nowadays, Swahili is used in various situations such as offices, schools, homes and mass media. Like other languages in the world, English is becoming the greatest donor to Swahili vocabulary, especially in the area of computer and technology.

Why Study Swahili at IU-Bloomington? The African Studies Program marked its 50th anniversary in fall 2011. Its official development began in 1961 with a five-year development grant from the Ford Foundation under the directorship of political scientist and Liberia scholar J. Gus Liebenow. The Program grew quickly and gained recognition as a Title VI National Resource Center in 1965, a status it has been able to maintain over the years. Partnerships and cooperation with African institutions and colleagues have been integral to the Program’s activities since its inception.

Each region in Thailand has unique cultural, historical, and natural attractions. The northern region is a nice place for a journey into hills, while the islands and beaches in the south are great for scuba diving. Learning Thai can make travel and study in Thailand significantly more rewarding and help you discover why its capital, Bangkok, is one of the top destinations for world tourism. Basic knowledge of Thai will be useful for those who are interested in some of Thailand’s most famous exports, including Thai cooking, traditional Thai massage, and Thai boxing (Muay Thai). In terms of business and job opportunities, a good command of Thai is also highly beneficial, as the United States is an important trading partner of Thailand and many international trading companies operate in Thailand. If you are looking for an Asian language less commonly studied in the U.S. and worth taking the effort to study, Thai might be exactly what you’re looking for!

Why Study Thai at IU-Bloomington? Indiana University Bloomington is one of a few universities in U.S. where students can learn this language. The Thai program in Southeast Asian Studies offers both language and culture courses to enable students to be proficient in the Thai language and familiar with Thai culture.

Welcome! ཕེབས་པར་དགའ་བསུ་ཞུ།! Standard Tibetan is the most widely spoken form of the Tibetic languages. It is based on the speech of Lhasa, an Ü-Tsang (Central Tibetan) dialect. For this reason, Standard Tibetan is often called Lhasa Tibetan. Tibetan is an official language of the Tibet Autonomous Region of the People's Republic of China. The written language is based on Classical Tibetan and is highly conservative. It is part of the Sino-Tibetan language family and is spoken by 1.2 million people primarily in Tibet.

Why Study Tibetan? Over the centuries Tibetan monks preserved and elaborated Indian teachings in Buddhist philosophy – but also history, medicine, grammar, and more. Mongol and Manchu emperors sought Tibetan lamas as tutors for them and their children and Tibetan monks became well known in the great cities of Asia. Now whether under Chinese rule or in exile, Tibetans are trying to adapt their civilization to modern times. Learning Tibetan will make you part of that conversation.

Why Study Tibetan at IU-Bloomington? The Department of Central Eurasia Studies has long been one of the world's leading centers of academic expertise on Central Eurasia as well as the sole independent degree-granting academic unit staffed with its own faculty of specialists.

Welcome! Salam! Turkmen or Torkoman is a Turkic language spoken by 5 million people in Turkmenistan, where it is the official state language, as well as by around 1,400,000 people in northeastern Iran, 700,000 people in northwestern Afghanistan, and Turkmen communities abroad. Turkmen is a member of the East Oghuz branch of the Turkic family of languages; its closest relatives being Anatolian Turkish and Azerbaijani Turkish, with which it shares a relatively high degree of mutual intelligibility. Turkmen has vowel harmony, is agglutinative, and has no grammatical gender. Word order is subject–object–verb. Written Turkmen today is based on the Teke (Tekke) dialect. The other dialects are Nohurly, Ýomud, Änewli, Hasarly, Nerezim, Gökleň, Salyr, Saryk, Ärsary and Çowdur. The Russian dialect is Trukhmen. The Teke dialect is sometimes (especially in Afghanistan) referred to as "Chagatai", but like all Turkmen dialects it reflects only a limited influence from classical Chagatai.

Why Study Turkmen? A member of the West Oghuz branch of the Turkic language family, Turkmen shares many structural features with other Turkic languages, such as SOV word order, vowel harmony, and agglutinative structure. Because of its similarity to other Turkic languages, studying Turkmen can actually help you learn Turkish, Azerbaijani, Kazakh, Kyrgyz, and Uzbek! Turkmenistan possesses the world’s fourth largest reserves of natural gas and substantial oil resources, and is therefore a most prominent trade partner with the United States. As business partnerships with Turkmenistan and the USA grow, this creates a demand for Americans who are fluent in Turkmen. Turkmenistan is a region of numerous archeological sites of great interest. The Turkmen cities of Nisa, Anau, and Merv have been declared as World Heritage Sites by UNESCO and were once part of the ancient Bronze Age Bactria-Margian Archeological Complex and later the Scythian, Greek, Persian, and Arab empires.

Why Study Turkmen at IU-Bloomington? The Department of Central Eurasian Studies at Indiana University took its present name in 1993. It was founded as an Army Specialized Training Program for Central Eurasian languages in 1943, then formally organized as the Program in Uralic and Altaic Studies (from 1956 to 1965) and later the Department of Uralic and Altaic Studies (from 1965 to 1993).

Wolof traders have traditionally traveled throughout West Africa, and Wolof is an important trade language. Due to its widespread use as a trade language, it has great socio-economic significance. Wolof also plays a very important role in Senegalese culture. An understanding of Wolof helps visitors to communicate with the islanders and to learn first-hand about the history of the island.

Why Study Wolof at IU-Bloomington? The African Studies Program has long been recognized as one of the leading centers for the interdisciplinary study of Africa. It has been a U.S. Department of Education National Resource Center every year since 1965.

Welcome! ‫!בַאגריסן‬ Yiddish the historical language of the Ashkenazi Jews. It originated during the 9th century in Central Europe, providing the pre-existing language of the nascent Ashkenazi community with an extensive Germanic based vocabulary. Yiddish is written with a fully vocalized alphabet based on the Hebrew script. It is a part of the Indo-European language and is native to Ukraine, Israel, United States, United Kingdom, Belgium, Canada, Russia, Poland, Germany, Moldova, Romania, Lithuania, Belarus and Latvia. It is estimated that the language has 1 million speakers worldwide.

Why Study Yiddish? Yiddish is a “fusion” language, its development a rapid process of growth and dissolution. It is based originally on a mixture of Middle High German dialects and coalescing into a language around the Rhine region of Mainz and Spires around 1100. Written in Hebrew characters, it initially served as an auxiliary to Hebrew, which was the language of prayer, ritual, and scholarly and legal commentaries. But it soon acquired an international scope (reflecting the travail of wandering, exile, dispersion), borrowing freely from almost every Indo-European language. With an estimated vocabulary of 180,000 words, it is one of the richest languages in the world. Approximately 80 percent of its vocabulary is derived from the Germanic; 15 percent is Hebraic; and five percent is from Slavic, Latin and Romance languages. It is also categorized as a Germanic “folk” language. It has a wealth of words descriptive of character and of relations among people. It also makes liberal use of diminutives and terms of endearment and has a variety of expletives. Use of proverbs is considerable. These qualities and usages give Yiddish a uniquely warm and personal flavor.

Why Study Yiddish at IU-Bloomington? The Department of Germanic Studies, in conjunction with the Jewish Studies Program, offers four courses in Yiddish language skills (Y100, Y150, Y200, and Y250) and two courses in Yiddish literature, film, and culture in English translation (Y300 and Y350). The Englishlanguage courses, which also carry Comparative Literature numbers (C377 and C378), examine the history, literature, drama, and film of Eastern European and American Yiddish culture.

Welcome! kaabo! Yoruba is one of the three main languages of Nigeria. There are about 30 million speakers of the language in the South Western part of Nigeria and other parts of the world. It has over twenty dialects, which show phonological and lexical differences. Some of these dialects are spoken around the border of Nigeria and the Republic of Benin and some parts of Togo. The language has also survived in Cuba (where it is called Lukumi) and in Brazil (where it is called Nago). Yoruba is the official language in Nigeria.

Why Study Yoruba? For students of comparative linguistics and sociolinguistics, a study of Yoruba can help and yield astounding results through an examination of the various changes and differences that occur between the language and the culture in the home base on the one hand and the diaspora on the other. Students of African literatures would also benefit from studying Yoruba language, literature and culture, as many notable African writers, such as Wole Soyinka, are Nigerians. Furthermore, Yoruba is one of the most studied and researched African languages. There are already two volumes of Yoruba Meta language, and Yoruba is now being used for serious academic discourses such as Masters and Ph.D. degree theses in some parts of Africa. Its importance as an African language cannot be overemphasized. Due to the number of people for whom Yoruba is the first language, the political, cultural and social importance of the language within Africa, and the United States’ national interests tied to economic and diplomatic relations with Yoruba speaking areas, Yoruba was recognized among the Less Commonly Taught Languages as a first priority language by a national panel of African language teachers.

Why Study Yoruba at IU-Bloomington? The African Studies Program has long been recognized as one of the leading centers for the interdisciplinary study of Africa. It has been a U.S. Department of Education National Resource Center every year since 1965.

Welcome! Ngiyakwemukela! Zulu or isiZulu is the language of the Zulu people with about 10 million speakers, the vast majority (over 95%) of whom live in South Africa. Zulu is the most widely spoken home language in South Africa (24% of the population) as well as being understood by over 50% of the population. A major language of South Africa, it is also spoken in Zimbabwe, Malawi, Namibia, Mozambique, Swaziland, and Lesotho. It became one of South Africa's eleven official languages in 1994. It is the second most widely spoken Bantu language after Shona. Like many other Bantu languages, it is written using the Latin alphabet.

Why Study Zulu? There are many reasons for studying Zulu, including personal interest in southern African cultures, research interests and fulfillment of foreign language requirements. In addition, Zulu has great political, cultural, historical and social importance in southern Africa. Zulu spread throughout large areas of southern Africa; the language served as a tool for unifying the many ethnic groups found there. Another advantage of studying Zulu is that it forms the basis for understanding the other Nguni languages. If you can speak Zulu, you can invariably understand Swati, Ndebele and Xhosa. Perhaps the most important reason to learn Zulu is, in a postapartheid era, acquiring a global understanding of South Africa is of utmost importance. During the apartheid era, many international companies severed their ties with South Africa. The dissolution of apartheid in 1994 brought about the lifting of sanctions, which opened country to international business. This resulted in a growing world-wide interest in the country, and today companies from all over the world invest millions of dollars in South Africa. Knowledge of Zulu would greatly benefit the many diplomats and foreign business people who live and work in South Africa.

Why Study Zulu at IU-Bloomington? The African Studies Program has long been recognized as one of the leading centers for the interdisciplinary study of Africa. It has been a U.S. Department of Education National Resource Center every year since 1965. IU’s Department of African Studies is committed to being one of the nation's leading programs for the interdisciplinary study of Africa.
