2003 breach and environmental disaster
A 4 metres (13ft) breach was cut in the peninsula near the city of Saint-Louis on 3 October 2003 to help counter possible flooding. However, the breach quickly widened to 800m (2,600ft) and separated the southern end of the peninsula permanently from the main country, effectively transforming it into an island.As of December 2013 the sea has claimed over 3km (1.9mi) of land and has caused the loss of villages and tourist resorts in addition to changes in the flora and fauna of the peninsula.

A langue or "tongue" was the major administrative division of the Knights Hospitaller or Order of St. John of Jerusalem. The term referred to a rough ethno-linguistic division of the geographical distribution of the order's members and possessions;
The Ibero-Romance areal was designated an "Aragonese" langue, in 1462 split into Aragonese and "Castilian", the latter comprising the priories of Castille, Léon and Portugal.
The Italo-Romance areal was given its own Italian langue.
Germanic Europe was divided into a "German" langue on one hand (including all of the Holy Roman Empire, including its Slavic-speaking parts, as well as Scandinavia, Hungary and Poland),
while the British Isles was designated a separate "English" langue.
After the order's breakup following the Protestant Reformation, some of the langues were re-organised; specifically, the "English" langue was recreated as "Anglo-Bavaro-Polish" langue.
Langue (French, meaning "language") and parole (meaning "speaking") are linguistic terms distinguished by Ferdinand de Saussure in his Course in General Linguistics. Langue encompasses the abstract, systematic rules and conventions of a signifying system; it is independent of, and pre-exists, individual users. Langue involves the principles of language, without which no meaningful utterance, "parole", would be possible. Parole refers to the concrete instances of the use of langue. This is the individual, personal phenomenon of language as a series of speech acts made by a linguistic subject. Saussure did not concern himself overly with parole; however, the structure of langue is revealed through the study of parole. The distinction is similar to that made about language by Wilhelm von Humboldt, between energeia (active doing) and ergon (the product of that doing). Saussure drew an analogy to chess to explain the concept of langue and parole. He compared langue to the rules of chess—the norms for playing the game—and compared the moves that an individual chooses to make—the individual's preferences in playing the game—to the parole.
