Hi Peter, :)

Thank you Natacha for your answer. You're right. Non-hegemonic languages are the ones that are not associated with a country or people that imposes itself on other cultures or claims any kind of control over the rest of the world. So that would be most existing languages. I used the word non-hegemonic to imply that those who are interested in language diversity online would probably find useful people and information at this conference.

Best,

Hi, maybe this can explain a little https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/1056492612444316

 

I think basically Chinese, Russian, Arabic, Spanish, French and English can be categorized as hegemonic. 

 

Kind regards,

Hi Remy,

It might help if you defined what you mean by a non-hegemonic language. I would not think it a term familiar to most readers, and it is poorly covered by a google search.

Cheers,

Peter

Dear all,

If you speak a non-hegemonic language or are interested in minority languages in general, please come join us on April 22 at ContribuLing!

Wikimedia France and Wikimedia Morocco teamed up with the INALCO, BULAC, NTeAlan and Idemi Africa to put together this second yearly edition of the conference. The focus is on free participative software that help document minority languages.

We will have some projects around Wikipedia, Wikidata and Lingua Libre, of course, but some conferences and workshops will also introduce participants to tools outside the Wikimedia movement, as complementary solutions.

We will cover a vast array of languages, from Japanese, Teochew (China), Atikamekw (Canada), Marseillais (France) to Fong (Benin) and Tshiluba (DRC). Other sessions will showcase multilingual platforms that can be used for a family of languages or for all languages.

The event will be translated live into English for participants joining us on zoom.

If you are interested, please feel free to register here: https://framaforms.org/contribuling-2022-registration-form-1648203716

 The program and further details are available on meta: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/ContribuLing_2022/Program

 For any further information, please contact contribuling@framalistes.org.

Best,
