Notes
'hėnna' and 'mayva' both translate English 'language'. 'hėnna' refers to languages as a spoken and written form of communication and identity mark of an ethnicity; 'mayva' refers to any other form of communication, though the practical meanings of 'hėnna' may be covered by 'mayva' too.
Based on this definition, languages like English, Sanskrit or Laceyiam are 'hėnnai'; on the other hand, sign languages, programming languages or traffic signs are 'mayvai'.
