In a paper presented to the 1st International Congress of Linguists in 1928, Trubetzkoy defined a Sprachbund as a group of languages with similarities in syntax, morphological structure, cultural vocabulary and sound systems, but without systematic sound correspondences, shared basic morphology or shared basic vocabulary.

Linguists universally refer to Wakhi as an East Iranian language independent of Tajik Persian, but many Tajik nationalists insist that Wakhi and other Pamir languages are actually dialects of Tajik.

" Linguists ", vs. multi-languists, are not very familiar with the cultural and other nuances contained in many languages, therefore many " linguists " are unable to understand the cross correlations between words and word origins, specifically because they are not well versed in several languages, completely failing to understad the linguistic nuances of foreign languages that are attached to a particular culture.

Linguists do not normally use the term to refer to orthographical rules, although usage books and style guides that call themselves grammars may also refer to spelling and punctuation.

Linguists tend to view prescriptive grammars as having little justification beyond their authors ' aesthetic tastes, although style guides may give useful advice about standard language employment, based on descriptions of usage in contemporary writings of the same language.
