Consider this scenario: Several hundred years ago, there was a large migration from Region A to Region B. After the migration, there was no interaction between the two regions. Today, there is still little interaction between these two isolated regions.
What would a researcher LIKELY find in comparing contemporary language in Region A and Region B?
(1 point)
•The languages would have some similarities but would have evolved as separate languages.
•The languages would be nearly identical to each other due to the large-scale migration from Region A.
• The languages would share grammatical structures but have no shared vocabulary.
• The languages would share vocabulary but have no shared grammatical structures.
• Both regions would be using Austronesian languages as their official language.
The researcher would likely find that the languages in Region A and Region B have evolved as separate languages with some similarities. Therefore, the correct answer is:
• The languages would have some similarities but would have evolved as separate languages.
