Dear Narjeet,


Thank you too! Yes, recordings would be great. And I at Work World University and School could wiki-add also as an example of how teachers in all 22 official languages in India (and all other languages there) could wiki-add them on their own (& maybe I have already done so, regarding Jagjeet Sir's course if the recordings are, or could be, the same as the classroom link).

Thanks again for the course and your email especially 😊!

Best wishes,
Scott

I've added this course to the free, open, wiki Punjabi language page at WUaS - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Punjabi_language - as you'll see. I've also updated the /LANGUAGE_TEMPLATE at World Univ & Sch - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/LANGUAGE_TEMPLATE - and with this great class as an example, adding a new section right at the top for "Free Upcoming Classes" - which might get people checking World Univ & Sch pages more frequently than now, and for your GEG India classes in the future too. Perhaps people will begin to wiki-add their own free courses and classes soon! And as these WUaS wiki pages develop, and as information technology and coding-wise especially, this will add a calendar function too. 

Here's the main Languages' wiki subject page - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Languages - and WUaS again is planning to be in all 7,139 known living languages, in these languages, and with machine learning and translation too.



While India has 22 separate official languages , it is home to a total of 121 languages and 270 mother tongues. It's also home to the world's oldest language, Hindi.Oct 31, 2021

Am amazed and grateful for these online WEB World Univ & Sch resources, many interactive, and when, for example, you add a pic or video to Google Street View with time slider, you begin to teach or learn using artificial intelligence, I'd suggest: 

Here is an wondrous growing CAMPUS for World Univ & Sch, and it's the whole earth virtually (and see below a picture I've added to the realistic virtual Harbin Hot Springs below, as ANTHROPOLOGY field site, and a HISTORY field site too, and for STEM, and avatar bot electronic medical records for all 7.9 billion people on planet, each a Wikidata Pin # :!)  ~

HERE'S THE PICTURE OF THE HARBIN GATE HOUSE I ADDED SOME YEARS' AGO ... (in 2009 I think, and the picture is from 2001 ... and I'd like to facilitate all of us entering and visiting Harbin Hot Springs virtually - in an emerging realistic virtual Harbin - so we could both see it, and possibly do ethnographic research too, - in those years!) ~

So glad too, to come further into conversation with Punjabi Google Education Group in India (thank you, Narjeet in New Dehli, I think!) More about this in yesterday's - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2022/03/pride-of-india.html - blog post, on Twitter, and to come in today's blog post. 

Check out all these developing WUaS web resources, and begin to teach further or learn more, or in new ways, if you'd like! :)

Friendly regards, Scott

Dear All, 


And as another aspect of this World Univ & Sch CAMPUS, the number of languages in the world, always in flux, as the scholars debate this, and the databases further code for this, just rose from 7,139 known living languages, to 7,151 - 

Ethnologue
@theEthnologue
·
Feb 28
7,151 languages are spoken in the world, as of 2022.
23 languages account for more than half the world's population.

https://twitter.com/theEthnologue/status/1498327328811802630

Each language's place, a virtual campus in a sense? 

Connect the Ethnologue's list with the ISO 639 languages' list (https://www.iso.org/iso-639-language-codes.html), with Wikidata's list of ~300 Wikipedia languages (and other related databases?) ...with machine learning and artificial intelligence, at CC-4 OCW.MIT.EDU -centric wiki World Univ & Sch - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Languages ?

When on Google Maps, Earth, Google Street View with a time slider, with TensorFlowAI, do all these people live, and speak? How can these virtual places where people speaking 7151 different languages become developing campuses (even with avatar bots of speakers / people who may have passed away ... like the Cromarty language in Scotland, where the last 2 brothers and speakers of this language may have passed away in the last decade)? 

"And here in Google Streetview is where she recorded "The Reeling" in the historic East Church in Cromarty (somewhat east of Skye and northeast of inverness) - https://www.google.com/maps/place/Cromarty+East+Church/@57.6789751,-4.0290695,15z/data=!4m5!3m4!1s0x0:0x1d4df95fc01c81f4!8m2!3d57.6789751!4d-4.0290695 (it would be interesting to hold concerts in such online virtually in VR with time ... as part of my vision for a realistic virtual earth too) - "



AND REGARDING THE TWO BROTHERS WHO SPOKE CROMARTY FLUENTLY, SEE THIS 2012 BLOG POST -

New, extinct language at WUaS:

Cromarty dialect of Scots language
(which is not Scottish Gaelic)

See, too, related news' article -

Cromarty fisherfolk dialect's last native speaker dies
Published 2 October 2012

Bobby Hogg
Image caption,
Bobby Hogg was the last person to speak the Cromarty fisherfolk dialect fluently
The last native speaker of the Cromarty fisherfolk dialect has died.
Retired engineer Bobby Hogg, 92, was the last person who was still fluent in the dialect used in parts of the Black Isle, near Inverness.
His younger brother Gordon was also a native speaker. He died in April last year aged 86.
The dialect is believed to have arrived in the area with fishing families that moved north from the Firth of Forth in 15th and 16th centuries.

Media caption,
Listen to archive of Bobby Hogg and his brother Gordon
The families were thought to be the descendants of Norse and Dutch fishermen.


In 2009, researcher Janine Donald compiled a booklet of Cromarty dialect words and phrases for Highland Council's Am Baile project.

The initiative, which involved recording conversations between the Hogg brothers, was part of an effort to preserve the dialect.
The 40-page publication produced also has weather lore, biblical expressions and local tales and customs. 

Included was the word "tumblers" for dolphins and harbour porpoises and phrases such as "At now kucka" for a friendly greeting.

Other words and phrases included bauchles which means old, ill-fitting shoes, droog-droogle for heavy work in wet weather and Jenny Muck, a female farm worker.
Earlier this year, Highland Council made a commitment to recognise and protect the region's languages and dialects.

Another different Tue 3/22/22 Pride of India (koelreuteria-paniculata) blog post from today (with the above and more!: regarding World Univ & Sch and open teaching and learning esp.) - 
https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2022/03/koelreuteria-paniculata-pride-of-india.html ... Talk with some of you next Monday at 10 AM Pacific Time in Zoom perhaps? 


World Univ & Sch is planning for all 7151 known living languages - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Languages - and extinct ones too, like Cromarty, and in a realistic virtual earth for Languages - https://twitter.com/hashtag/RealisticVirtualEarthForLanguages?src=hashtag_click ... :)
