[Foundation-l] A proposal for new language creation

[daniwo59 at aol.com]

Hi
 
Jumping in on this discussion, a few of us met with a group of linguists in  
Tunisia who are revising the language codes to create a far more complex and  
inclusive system that will include dialects, spoken and written forms, etc.  
These linguists represent academic institutions in Europe and Japan, and are  
acutely aware of the issues that come under discussion here. 
 
I'll start by saying how pleased they were with the multilingualism of  
Wikipedia. In fact, their study proved that we are the most linguistically  diverse 
site on the Internet. They want to work with us, and are developing a  new 
coding system for languages that will cover approx. 25,000 languages and  
dialects. With their advice and support, I believe that in a short time we will  be 
able to resolve many of these issues once and for all. And they are extremely  
interested in cooperating with us. 
 
I will be communicating with them next week, and will report further.
