Tortoises in the mist: Harbin Hot Springs, Freedom, Agency, All Languages, Linguistics, Universal Translator

There's freedom at Harbin (http://harbin.org/)

- agency -

here's a poem about this, in part-

'I do choose to write the muse of bliss unfolding':

There's freedom at WUaS - building on MIT Open Course Ware as academic standard - and making possible open, wiki- Teaching & Learning in a free & friendly way ... invitation to add a subject ... http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/ - a people-ideas opportunity :)


People are freely teaching & learning online in so many ways

... and WUaS will aggregate these as a wiki-metadirectory, in 3000-8000 languages

... Wikipedia, the online wiki-encyclopedia, by way of comparison, is in around 272 languages ...



AB:
are there 8000 languages??? Wow!


... ‎There are 6,900 and some languages, according to 'The Ethnologue'

plus human-invented languages, 'dead' languages, (computer languages, etc.).

World University & School -
http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Languages -

will help to identify ALL of them, and wiki-facilitate teaching & learning resources in them, too :)


Invitation to add a language, and a school :)

Here's The Ethnologue's web site - http://www.ethnologue.com

World Univ & Sch would also like to build on Google Translate and 2 or 3 other parallel projects to develop a Universal Translator, based on the WUaS Languages' page http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Languages :)


Good intro to linguistics? See World University & School Linguistics' subject - http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Linguistics - and particularly Victoria Fromkin et al.'s 'Introduction to Language' :)
