Start with these Roman-script languages:  deu, fra, nld, por, spa

We are looking for terms like these:

  * language, dialect 
  * text, discourse
  * lexicon, dictionary, vocabulary, wordlist, phrase book
  * description, grammar, syntax, morphology, phonology, orthography

We should add "documentation" to the list as well.

Another word for the "language" and "dialect" set is "vernacular"

I am a little hesitant about "description" as that could go in so many 
directions 
with so many different application contexts.

What about singular versus plural? A title will typically use the singular, 
while a 
subject term will typically be plural.

Hope to have this resolved by end of Q2 2010.
