Unreferenced stub auto yes date December 2009 Jopar IPA gn opa a Guaran or Yopar IPA es opa a lang is a colloquial form of Guaran language Guaran spoken in Paraguay which uses large numbers of Spanish language Spanish loan word s. Its name is from the Guaran word for mix. The majority of Paraguayans, particularly younger ones, speak some form of jopar . Since 1992, under the Paraguay s Ministry of Education and Culture MEC Act, Guaran in its pure form different from the day to day speech of jopar has been taught in schools. This led to contradictory opinions some say that teaching pure Guaran is the best means to preserve the language s integrity while others argue that how Guaran is taught differs greatly from how it is commonly spoken. Some Spanish words when put in a sentence mixed with Guaran have a different meaning than that of standard Spanish. The relative amount of Guaran or Spanish used in speech varies depending upon the birth of the speaker, the place where he speaks, with whom he is speaking, the topic of discussion, and how he or she wants their meaning to be interpreted. Generally the rural and older population tends to use more Guaran while the urban and younger population uses more Spanish the rural and older population understands more Guaran and the urban and younger more Spanish. General and every day conversation is more suited to Guaran , while technical and specific conversation is more suited to Spanish. Guaran can be interpreted as more Paraguayan while Spanish can be interpreted as more sophisticated.

A written language is the representation of a language by means of a writing system . Written language is an invention in that it must be taught to children, who will instinctively learn or create spoken language spoken or sign language gestural languages. Citation needed date February 2010 A written language exists only as a complement to a specific spoken or gestural language, and no natural language is purely written. However, extinct language s may be in effect purely written when only their writings survive. Citation needed date February 2010 Written language vs. spoken language Unreferenced section date February 2010 Written languages change more slowly than corresponding spoken languages. When one or more register linguistics registers of a language come to be strongly divergent from spoken language, the resulting situation is called diglossia . However, such diglossia is often considered as one language, between literary language and other registers, especially if the writing system reflects its pronunciation . Native readers and writers of English language English are often unaware that the complexities of English spelling make written English a somewhat artificial construct. The traditional spelling of English, at least for inherited words, preserves a late Middle English phonology that is no one s speech dialect. The artificial preservation of this much earlier form of the language in writing might make much of what we write intelligible to Geoffrey Chaucer Chaucer 1343 1400 , even if we could not understand his speech. Written Language refers to communication in its written form most commonly in the forms of reading and writing. However we are in a need for oral language speaking and listening skills are acquired naturally by young children r ... more details

All words are made up from a limited set of vowels and consonants . The spoken words they make are stringed into syntactically organized Sentence linguistics sentence s and phrase s. The vocabulary and syntax together with the phone phonetics speech sounds it uses define its identity as a particular natural language . Some human language s exist with their own vocabularies and syntax that are not spoken but use Speech communication sign gestures . Sign language s have the same natural origin as spoken languages, and the same grammatical complexities, but use the hands , arms, and face rather than parts of the mouth as their place of articulation . Many spoken languages are written language written . However, even today, there are many world languages that can be spoken but have no standard written form.
