Patrician Would Speak: Finally, social or class differences were instrumental in bringing about the beginnings of Latin dialectalization. A cultured patrician would speak with a more refined and careful accent, a wider word range, and a more accurate syntax than his less educated contemporary from the plebeian or slave class. Also, the speech of the city dweller would differ from that of the rustic.
In the course of time the population m divided into two distinct groups: the patrician q.v. (pairicii, from patres), descendants of tk Quirites (q.v.), or Roman citizens; and Ae plebs, or plebeians (q.v.), who, though freemen lacked political rights and were excluded fna military service. Some historians believe that fe patricians were descended from Italic-speakin immigrants, whereas the plebs were descends! from the ancient pre-Italic population and M been admitted into the city gradually, or; of conquered people, under the protect! king or by attaching themselves as die: to some patrician.
There are many minorities that speak non-Chinese languages that belong neither to the Altaic nor the Sino-Tibetan group. These include the 14,000 Tajiks of southwestern Sinkiang, who speak an Iranic language of the Indo-European group, and the Wa and Puman people who speak an Austroasian language. The Wa and Puman are fierce tribesmen who live on both sides of the Yiinnan-Burma border and number only about 100,000. The Austronesian or Ma-layo-Polynesian language is also spoken in China by various groups, predominantly in Taiwan.
