I discuss keyboard layouts for minority languages, but this angle is new - certainly to language teachers too, I'd imagine. BTW, I picked this up via a Google alert on "International Year of Languages" (must be careful what you type) and have added another link to the <a href="http://donosborn.org/iyl/index.php/Main/BloggingIYLin2008c" rel="nofollow">list</a>.

]]> Comment on The International Year of Languages: Awareness initiatives by Don http://embryonisms.wordpress.com/2008/03/23/the-international-year-of-languages-awareness-initiatives/#comment-4 Don Sun, 23 Mar 2008 03:11:43 +0000 http://embryonisms.wordpress.com/?p=18#comment-4 Thanks for the shout out, Myn. Re minority languages and their future, the situations are more complex than made out. Personally I think that information technology opens some interesting possibilities for developing languages that have relatively few speakers and are "less resourced." Obviously languages that are really endangered present a big challenge, but in some cases communities are rallying. You mention Facebook. There is also a group there for <a>International Year of Languages</a>, if you or any of your readers are interested. Thanks for the shout out, Myn.
