It has long been understood that environment can have an effect on the vocabulary of a language, the most simplistic example being a language evolving in a landlocked environment having little use for words describing tides.

On the continent of Africa there are more than two thousand spoken languages and perhaps as many as three thousand, which form several distinct groups (not counting English or Afrikaans).

Translation agencies don’t just work with new documents – we are sometimes asked to translate older texts too, and that raises its own questions. For instance, if a document is fairly old, there is the issue of whether the translation should use language that was common at the time it was originally written, or that…
