Hello and welcome to the Wikademia School of Language and Literature. Here we share our knowledge of methods and ways of writing poetry and prose, and learn non US-English languages and explore their cultures, too. We also discuss many works of literature and literary epochs they belong to, as well as their historical development and the main characteristics by which they can be recognized.

[[Image:Globe of letters.svg|right|88px|Languages]] Hello and welcome to the Wikiversity School of Language and Literature. Here we share our knowledges about methods and ways of writing poetry and prose, and learn foreign languages and explore their cultures, too. Here we also discuss about many works of literature and literary epoches they belong to, as well as their historical development and main characteristics by which one can regonize them.

[[Image:VukKaradzic.jpg|right|100px|Vuk Stefanović Karadžić]] '''Vuk Stefanović Karadžić''' (1787-1864) was one the most prominent Serbian linguists. He reformed the Serbian Cyrillic alphabet by applying the principles ''one letter per one sound'' and ''write as you speak'', and realized the idea of introducing the spoken language into the Serbian literature. He was collecting and publishing Serbian folk stories and poems. His major books were ''Serbian Dictionary'' and ''Serbian Grammar'', both published together in 1818, in which he for first time used the reformed alphabet. Although there were some opponents of Vuk's language reform, his principles were finally accepted and realized in Serbian literature and linguistics. Vuk's language was a base upon which the modern Serbian standard language was developed.

WELCOME TO THE SCHOOL OF
LANGUAGE AND LITERATURE part of the Faculty for Humanities.

Hello and welcome to the Wikademia School of Language and Literature. Here we share our knowledge of methods and ways of writing poetry and prose, and learn non US-English languages and explore their cultures, too. We also discuss many works of literature and literary epochs they belong to, as well as their historical development and the main characteristics by which they can be recognized.

Science that studies the structure of a language and its development is called linguistics. Wikademia's School of Linguistics is part of the Faculty of Social Sciences.

School history

The School of Literature and English Studies was founded within the Wikademia's Department of Humanities on 15 July 2004, in the time when Wikademia was still part of the Wikibooks project. Eventually, it became one of the most developed of Wikademia's schools.

On 30 March 2005, the School of Foreign Language Learning was founded within the Department of Practical Arts and Sciences, though it failed to organize or function adequately.

Soon after the Wikademia became a separate Wikimedia project, these two schools were merged together, creating the School of Language and Literature, as part of the Faculty of Humanities.
