nation
may be 
displayed in myth in art, literature and in the language. V.Gumbold began to 
examine the types of the 
Languages
as a display of “the spirit of the nation”. The 
division of the languages to flaxsive and affix by the German linguist Fridrih 
Shlegel was the first attempt to create atypological classification of the language. 
From the history of linguistic studies, such 
typological
classification of languages 
offered by August William, V.Gumbold, A.Shleyher, G.Steyntal, F.Misteli and 
other linguists were 
formed
. 
Now topologists are trying to find the ways of 
creating amore informative classification of the languages like periodical systems 
of Mendeleyev.
