English

Etymology

Borrowed from German Sprachbund (literally language alliance, language association), from Sprache (language; way of speaking, speech) (ultimately from Proto-Germanic *sprēkō (language; speech)) + Bund (alliance) (from binden (to bind, to tie up), ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *bʰendʰ- (to bind)). The German word was coined by Russian linguist Nikolai Trubetzkoy (1890–1938) in a paper he presented to the inaugural International Congress of Linguists in 1928[1] as a calque of the Russian term языково́й сою́з (jazykovój sojúz, language union), which he had introduced in a 1923 article.[2]

Pronunciation

Noun
