In historical linguistics, a daughter language is a language descended from another language through a process of genetic descent. Strictly speaking, the metaphor of the mother-daughter relationship can lead to misconceptualization of language history, as daughter languages are normally direct continuations of earlier stages, not separate entities in any way "born" to a parent who eventually dies. ==Examples== *English is a daughter language of Proto-Germanic, which is a daughter language of Proto-Indo-European. *Italian is a daughter language of (Vulgar) Latin, which is a daughter language of Proto-Indo-European. *Afrikaans is a daughter language of Dutch, which is a daughter language of Proto-Germanic, which is a daughter language of Proto-Indo-European. *Chavacano is a daughter language of Spanish, which is a daughter language of (Vulgar) Latin, which is a daughter language of Proto-Indo-European. *Hindi is a daughter language of Sanskrit (Prakrit), which is a daughter language of Proto-Indo-European. *Modern Hebrew is a daughter language of Biblical Hebrew, which is a daughter language of Canaanite, which is a daughter language of Proto-Semitic. *Norwegian Bokmål is a daughter language of Danish, which is a daughter language of Old Norse, which is a daughter language of Proto-Germanic, which is a daughter language of Proto-Indo-European. *Tajik is a daughter language of Persian, which is a daughter language of Proto-Indo-European. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「daughter language」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
