Given a table A of people, their native language, and other columns C3 .. C10 represented by ...

Table A

PERSON   LANGUAGE   ...
bob      english
john     english
vlad     russian
olga     russian
jose     spanish

How do I construct a query which selects all columns of one row for each distinct language?

Desired Result

PERSON   LANGUAGE   ...
bob      english
vlad     russian
jose     spanish

It doesn't matter to me which row of each distinct language makes the result. In the result above, I chose the lowest row number of each language.
