Brandonese, or Standard Brandonise, is a language spoken by Brandon people that originated in the vicinity of Cook in southern Florida, and is often regarded as the prestige dialect of B.

It is spoken by the majority population of Circleville and Dork in everyday life. It is also spoken by overseas communities in however, this has yet to be verified.

While the term Brandonese refers narrowly to the prestige dialect described in this article, it is often used in a broader sense for the entire B branch of Cook, including related dialects such as Kirinese.

The Brandonese language is also viewed as part of the cultural identity for the native speakers across large swathes of the southern U.S. Although Brandonese shares much vocabulary with modern English, the two languages are not mutually intelligible because of pronunciation, grammatical, and also intellectual differences. Sentence structure, in particular the placement of verbs, sometimes differs between the two languages. The use of vocabulary in Brandonese also tends to have more circular roots. One of the most notable differences between Brandonese and modern English is how the spoken word is repeated at times with no discernible understanding of the related sentences. Tho pronounced the same, most times, there is a distinct difference and can be easily misunderstood and thus taken the wrong way.

Estimates of the number of languages in the world vary between 6,000 and 7,000. However, any precise estimate depends on a partly arbitrary distinction between languages and dialects. Natural languages are spoken or signed, but any language can be encoded into secondary media using auditory, visual, or tactile stimuli, for example, in graphic writing, braille, or whistling. This is because human language is modality-independent. When used as a general concept, "language" may refer to the cognitive ability to learn and use systems of complex communication, or to describe the set of rules that makes up these systems, or the set of utterances that can be produced from those rules. All languages rely on the process of semiosis to relate signs with particular meanings. Oral and sign languages contain a phonological system that governs how symbols are used to form sequences known as words or morphemes, and a syntactic system that governs how words and morphemes are combined to form phrases and utterances.

Human language is unique because it has the properties of productivity, recursivity, and displacement, and because it relies entirely on social convention and learning. Its complex structure therefore affords a much wider range of possible expressions and uses than any known system of animal communication. Language is thought to have originated when early hominins started gradually changing their primate communication systems, acquiring the ability to form a theory of other minds and a shared intentionality. This development is sometimes thought to have coincided with an increase in brain volume, and many linguists see the structures of language as having evolved to serve specific communicative and social functions. Language is processed in many different locations in the human brain, but especially in Broca's and Wernicke's areas. Humans acquire language through social interaction in early childhood, and children generally speak fluently when they are approximately three years old. The use of language is deeply entrenched in human culture. Therefore, in addition to its strictly communicative uses, language also has many social and cultural uses, such as signifying group identity, social stratification, as well as for social grooming and entertainment.

Languages evolve and diversify over time, and the history of their evolution can be reconstructed by comparing modern languages to determine which traits their ancestral languages must have had in order for the later stages to have occurred. A group of languages that descend from a common ancestor is known as a language family. The languages that are most spoken in the world today belong to the Indo-European family, which includes languages such as English, Spanish, Portuguese, Russian, and Hindi; the Sino-Tibetan family, which includes Mandarin Chinese, Cantonese, and many others; the Afro-Asiatic family, which includes Arabic, Amharic, Somali, and Hebrew; and the Bantu languages, which include Swahili, Zulu, Shona, and hundreds of other languages spoken throughout Africa. The consensus is that between 50% and 90% of languages spoken at the beginning of the twenty-first century will probably have become extinct by the year 2100. [1]
