Ethnologue - Languages - 7,139 


Dear Paul and David, 

Greetings from the SF Bay Area. In developing CC-4 MIT OCW-centric wiki World University and School, planned in 200 countries and in 7,139 known living languages as wiki schools for open teaching and learning, I'm reaching out to you to explore how we might collaborate further. Paul, I was glad to come upon your resources below (eg https://www.ethnologue.com/ethnoblog/mpl/languages-world-numbers -and regarding how you think too), having long been interested in the Ethnologue, and its process for languages' inclusion, for ex. And David, I came to a talk you gave at Stanford Anthropology on Language Diversification on May 16, 2011, and took a few notes, (but can't find the Stanford URL for this interestingly); nice to meet you again here. 

For your information, and regarding how World University and School works (like CC-4 MIT OCW in 4 languages with Wikipedia in 300 languages), WUaS donated ourselves to Wikidata which is Wikipedia's "back end" structured knowledge database in 2017 in ~300 languages, received the WUaS Miraheze MediaWiki in 2017 as a 'front end" - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Languages - and, in late 2020, began to develop in their Wikibase platform with 'languages,' 'courses,' 'individuals,' too (see, this for examples or how these work - http://worlduniversityandschool.blogspot.com/2020/12/sat-dec-19-2020-wuas-minutes-for-open.html?view=sidebar). And WUaS is planning to code for speakers of all 7,139 known living languages - each a Wikidata Q-item # or similar - and for all 7.8 billion people on the planet as well, and for language revitalization and generation and schools, probably in G-Suite for Education (which this email address is part of). MIT OCW is currently in 4 languages (formerly in as many as 10 languages), and in WUaS partnering with edX (founded by MIT, Anant Agarwal, Harvard) currently, WUaS seeks too to offer online free-to-students' MIT OCW-centric Bachelor, PhD, Law, MD and IB high school degrees to students in all ~ 200 countries (per Olympics) - in their main languages. 


 Here's the mission of WUaS, newly reformulated yesterday - 

The mission of @WorldUnivAndSch is free best STEM CC-4 OCW degrees & wiki education for all 7.8 billion people, & courses, in all 7,139 languages ~ http://worlduniversityandschool.org & seeks esp. to offer online degrees and diplomas in ~200 countries' main languages https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/World_University_Foundation ~

https://twitter.com/sgkmacleod/status/1390793719788412932?s=20

https://twitter.com/scottmacleod/status/1390794223973277696?s=20


Eventually, WUaS seeks to create academic careers and jobs (as many as 2.2 million possibly, and on both wings of WUaS) in all these 7,139 languages - which is one way that collaboration could develop. And as WUaS develops with the Wikidata platform, I'd think your knowledge of languages, and your information technology resources could be invaluable as well. And here's the #RealisticVirtualEarthForLanguages #hashtag - https://twitter.com/hashtag/RealisticVirtualEarthForLanguages?src=hashtag_click - with plans eventually to develop something like Google Street View with TIME SLIDER, Maps, Earth, with TensorFlowAI and Google Translate ... and even realistic avatar bots - think artificial humans, aka Samsung Neons - to speak all these languages interactively. (I'm an anthropologist, a bit like you David, and my actual-virtual ethnographic field site is Harbin Hot Springs, ~ http://tinyurl.com/p62rpcg ~ https://twitter.com/HarbinBook ~ http://bit.ly/HarbinBook ~ as a way to think about further how linguistic field sites might develop, and for anthropological linguistics especially).  

And you'll find here Peter Norvig - 

https://twitter.com/WUaSPress/status/1378397513674235905?s=20 (in the Academic Press at WUaS, planned in 7,139 with machine translation) - at the UC Berkeley Information School in 2016 talking about bending "the long arc of the moral universe towards justice" (7:05 minute marker), - possibly in some of these language question-directions too. 


How might we explore proceeding here and in collaboration, as the WUaS platform grows, and seeks eventually to add another 6,800 languages, beyond the 300 in Wikidata and Wikipedia? Might you both consider becoming Board Members even at WUaS? WUaS currently has not begun to hire, but as we grow, I think Board Membership will become potentially remunerative as well. It's particularly the wiki aspect for people-to-people teaching and learning, and even regarding free universal education, potentially highest quality too (regarding MIT OCW in its 4 languages), that may lead to the growing of great online language communities in all 7,139 languages. Thank you.

Sincerely, Scott

Glad to have received this Stanford notice for an online talk with the former Mayor of Stockton, CA, Michael Tubbs, and potentially regarding Universal Basic Income experiments, vis-a-vis the Stockton CA experiment ... 

Stanford ~ May 26 @4pm PT! Upsetting the Setup with Human Dignity, with the former Mayor of Stockton, CA, Michael Tubbs, re UBI experiments

https://basicincome.stanford.edu/events/upsetting-the-setup-with-human-dignity/

"Michael Tubbs is a leading voice for guaranteed income in the United States. As the former mayor of Stockton, California, Tubbs launched the Stockton Economic Empowerment Demonstration in 2019 — the country's first city-led guaranteed income experiment. In addition, Tubbs is the founder of Mayors for a Guaranteed Income, a coalition of U.S. mayors advocating for a guaranteed income at the local, state, and federal level. He now serves as the special adviser for economic mobility and opportunity to Gov. Gavin Newsom.

Tubbs will be in conversation with Aisha Nyandoro, CEO of Springboard To Opportunities. This event, co-sponsored by the McCoy Family Center for Ethics in Society and the Stanford Basic Income Lab, is part of the Center's Arrow Lecture Series on Ethics and Leadership. Register now."
