Endangered languages
This document discusses endangered languages. It defines an endangered language as one at risk of no longer being spoken as its speakers die out or shift to other languages. Languages become endangered for various reasons, such as a lack of transmission between generations, small speaker populations, war, negative attitudes, and pressure to adopt dominant languages. The document classifies languages based on their degree of endangerment from vulnerable to extinct. Losing a language can negatively impact communities by weakening cultural traditions and identity. UNESCO works to safeguard endangered languages through supporting education in local languages, collecting language data, and promoting multilingualism.
Endangered languages
The document discusses the threat facing endangered languages around the world. It estimates that as many as half of the approximately 6,000 languages currently spoken may become extinct by the end of the 21st century. Several factors are contributing to this decline, including nation-state building processes, universal education, and the spread of dominant languages like English, French, Spanish, and Arabic. While documentation of endangered languages is important, long-term preservation requires communities where the language is spoken and transmitted between generations.
Building Reading Fluency Through Blended & Flipped Learning
1) The document discusses using technology to support the four strands of language learning in reading: meaning-focused input, meaning-focused output, language-focused learning, and fluency development.
2) Tools for meaning-focused input include Newsela for differentiated reading content, extensive reading programs for graded readers, and Dreamreader for reading with audio.
3) Meaning-focused output involves written book reports and article summaries assessed with rubrics, as well as oral reports.
4) Language-focused learning is supported through dictionary apps, annotating tools like Hypothes.is, and vocabulary programs like Quizlet.
5) Fluency development uses speed reading software and timed reading programs
Endangered languages
This document discusses endangered languages and provides examples of languages that are extinct or nearing extinction. It notes that many of the world's smallest languages are disappearing, with estimates that half of the world's approximately 6,000 languages could be extinct within 100 years. Examples are provided of some of the last speakers of languages like Kayardild, Aka-Bo, and various Great Andamanese languages. Factors that endanger languages are discussed, including assimilation, lack of transmission to younger generations, and globalization. Responses to language endangerment include documentation efforts and revitalization programs for languages like Chitimacha and Navajo.
Sample research presentation the protection of endangered languages
The document discusses the importance of protecting endangered languages. Minority languages are under threat due to the influence of dominant languages promoted by government policies and mass media. This loss of languages also means a loss of unique cultures and traditional knowledge. The document argues that languages can be preserved through supporting language education programs, training linguists, and promoting appreciation of other cultures.
The PALDO Concept - New Paradigms for African Language Resource Development
The document discusses new paradigms for developing African language resources through the Pan African Living Dictionary Online (PALDO) project. The paradigms include open community participation under scholarly supervision, paying for data development and making the data freely available, and linking monolingual dictionaries for multiple languages by concept to create rich resources for each language.
Dead languages
Dead languages are languages that are no longer spoken natively but were in the past. Studying dead languages provides several benefits. They are often the parent languages of modern languages, allowing understanding of word roots and relationships between languages. Dead languages also contain some of the greatest and most influential works of literature when read in their original form. Resources for learning dead languages include university classes, online resources, and projects that provide texts and discussion forums.

Tibetan to Tibetans, Chinese to Chinese, and Our Language Amongst Ourselves: ...
Manegacha is one of Tibet’s approximately sixty minority languages and is spoken by several thousand Tibetans living in four villages on the northeast Tibetan Plateau. Fieldwork conducted in early 2016 has confirmed earlier anecdotal evidence that the Manegacha-speaking community is currently shifting to Tibetan. Although this shift is taking place in all four villages, it is particularly pronounced in one community, where the majority of families have ceased speaking Manegacha to their children. Why has this community ceased transmitting the language while others are, for the most part, continuing to maintain it? This presentation will examine this issue by drawing on interviews with Manegacha-speakers in which they expressed language ideologies about ethnicity, community, and appropriate language use. Members in all Manegacha-speaking communities expressed language ideologies that are both amenable and hostile towards continued intergenerational language transmission. Not only are supportive and non-supportive ideologies expressed in all communities, they are also often expressed concurrently by the same individuals. In light of these persistent contradictions, I argue that the crucial difference leading to language shift in some Manegacha-speaking communities is the existence of social mobilization; language shift occurs when a community mobilizes around ideologies that undermine the language, not simply when such ideologies are present in the community, or even when they are strongly held. I therefore argue that understanding social mobilization, and its capacity to translate ideology into policy, is crucial for understanding language maintenance and shift.
Lin ing 2006-7
This document provides information about an English language course taught by Professor Maria Teresa Prat in the 2006-2007 academic year. The course focuses on specialized discourse and translation. It will include studying reference books on the topics, attending lectures, completing weekly reading assignments and translation tasks, and writing a final paper analyzing and translating a text from a specialized genre. Students will have the option to take an exam or write a research paper to complete the course requirements. The course aims to provide knowledge of international communication languages and cultural topics related to those languages. It will help students develop skills applicable to jobs involving linguistic and cultural mediation.
Communication with oneself_project[1]
Bilingual speakers have cognitive advantages over monolingual speakers. Studies show that bilinguals perform better on tasks that require ignoring distractions. Speaking multiple languages requires holding both languages actively in the mind without allowing words from one language to influence the other, which improves cognitive control. As the diversity of the world's languages declines, different ways of perceiving and describing the world are lost forever. While a single global language could reduce communication issues, it would also eliminate thousands of existing languages and the unique perspectives they represent.
BrightonSEO - Is this presentation going to be ‘fleek’?
This document discusses how language changes over time, especially with the influence of online communication. It examines various linguistic concepts like the frequency, forms, and meanings of new words on social media platforms like Twitter and Reddit. Metrics are explored for analyzing how words diffuse and whether their usage increases or decreases significantly. The top words of the year from dictionaries are also mentioned. The role of influential users in networks in spreading new language innovations is analyzed.
Unit 7 roma and human rights
This document provides an overview of a unit exploring the Roma people and human rights challenges in Romania. It discusses key topics that will be covered, including the origins and migration of the Roma people, their distinct culture and language, and political, economic and social challenges they face. Specifically, it will examine whether Roma children have constitutionally protected rights in Romania, Romania's response to the "Roma challenge", and international charters governing human rights like the UN Declaration of Human Rights. Students will research these topics using at least 10 sources and write a 10 page paper to demonstrate their understanding.
language death
Group 04 presented on the topic of endangered languages. The document defined language death as occurring when a language loses its last native speaker. It noted that over 7,000 languages are currently spoken but many are endangered and being replaced by more dominant languages. The types of language death were described as gradual, bottom-to-top, top-to-bottom, radical, and linguicide. Factors that can help preserve endangered languages were also discussed, such as strong ethnic identity, school programs in the language, and community involvement.
The Alphabetical Order of Things: The Language of Place and the Place of Lang...
This presentation focuses on the links between place, song, and language in Tibet, examining how social diversity is represented in musical constructions of place, and how this impacts on the maintenance of that diversity – specifically, linguistic diversity – in Tibet. I take as my starting point the observation that Tibet is linguistically diverse, but culturally integrated, and that song played a crucial role in this integration. Many speakers of non-Tibetic minority languages across the plateau traditionally sang in Tibetan, giving the language the status of what I call a ‘singua franca’ – a sung, rather than spoken, common language. Lyrics in traditional Tibetan songs expressed visions of place and space that described, and ascribed positive value to, linguistic and other forms of social diversity in Tibet. These visions of place, encoded in song, and reproduced amongst Tibet’s diverse populations, including its linguistic minorities, were part of a broader ideological environment of ‘banal cosmopolitanism’ in pre-modern Tibet. Since the late twentieth century, however, the lyrics of Tibetan songs began to imagine space and place in terms of a national geobody - a bounded, internally homogenous unit populated by people that speak the same language, share a common history (of descent), and share the same identity. Importantly, language - the Tibetan language - is portrayed as the soul or life-force of this geobody. This new expression of place in song, focused on a national geobody enlivened by a single language, is part of a pervasive environment of ‘banal nationalism’ in Tibet that has placed Tibet’s linguistic minorities under significant assimilatory pressure. Now, instead of singing themselves into a place within the diverse Tibetan world, Tibet’s linguistic minorities are singing their own alienation from the national geobody. The region’s ‘singua franca’ has lost its function as a shared medium of exchange between diverse peoples, and has instead become a shibboleth for national belonging and boundary marking. In tracking this change, I will explore how visions of place in song contribute to the maintenance or suppression of linguistic and other forms of social diversity.
Ch06
The document discusses several topics related to language and culture, including:
1. It provides examples of how language is tied to cultural identity and can be a source of isolation when suppressed, as described by an elder from the Dena'ina Indians.
2. It examines reasons why place names (toponyms) may change, such as after decolonization or political revolution, or to memorialize people or events.
3. It poses questions about deducing the original name of a place in North America based on its naming history by indigenous groups and later Spanish and English speakers, without using the internet.
Language
Language plays an important role in culture. This chapter discusses what languages are, how they develop and spread, and how they shape places and identities. It explores how languages form language families over time through sound shifts. The Proto-Indo-European language is used as a case study to show how linguists reconstruct ancestral languages and trace their diffusion. The chapter also examines how multilingualism, dialects, and global languages develop and impact geopolitics. Finally, it analyzes how place names can change due to factors like decolonization, revolution, and commercialization.
Languages of the world
This document provides information about the languages spoken around the world. It states that there are estimated to be over 7,000 languages spoken globally, with 90% spoken by less than 100,000 people. The document then profiles the top 15 most widely spoken languages, including Chinese, Spanish, English, Hindi/Urdu, Arabic, Bengali, Portuguese, Russian, Japanese, Malayan/Indonesian and others. It notes the number of speakers and countries where each language is official.
MApaperByScottStilsonOnRwandanLanguageAttitudesAndPolicy
This document provides a literature review of language attitudes and language policy in Rwanda. It begins with an introduction explaining the importance of studying Rwandan language policy given the country's colonial history and ethnolinguistic tensions. It then provides a brief overview of Rwanda's linguistic geography, noting that Kinyarwanda is spoken by 90% of the population as well as serving as the national language, while French and English also have official status. The document concludes with a sociohistorical account of Rwanda touching on the country's pre-colonial systems, the effects of German and Belgian colonialism in institutionalizing ethnic divisions and promoting French, and the genocide and its aftermath.

PLA presentation 2014
This document discusses the Omaha Public Library's efforts to serve immigrant and refugee communities in Omaha. It notes that refugees make up about 5.5% of Omaha's population, with large Sudanese, Arabic, Bosnian, Bhutanese, Burmese, French, Hmong, Karen, Kirundi, Nepali, Spanish, Somali, and Swahili speaking communities. The library has developed a dedicated World Language collection and provides information guides, videos, and classes in many of these languages to help newcomers access services and learn English. The library also partners with local organizations serving immigrants and refugees to provide orientation, ESL classes, citizenship preparation, and cultural events.
Honors geo. ch 8 p.p
The passage discusses the Navajo code talkers during World War 2 and their contribution to the war effort. It notes that the Navajo people were a preliterate society, yet their language skills made them heroes in using their native language to create secure codes that the Japanese were never able to decipher. Their unwritten language, which was very difficult for non-Navajos to learn, proved to be a decisive factor in the battle of Iwo Jima and other key battles in the Pacific theater. The passage also discusses the definition of language and dialects, the major language families around the world and in different regions, and issues around standard languages versus many local dialects.
Bilingualism
The document discusses bilingualism and its cognitive benefits. It notes that historically, bilingualism was seen as hindering development but research now shows that being bilingual strengthens cognitive abilities across the lifespan. Bilingualism improves executive functions like attention and problem-solving. It also delays dementia symptoms. Additionally, the document discusses multilingualism in communities historically and currently in areas like Africa and India where many languages are in contact. It provides examples of the status of languages in countries like The Gambia, Haiti, and Trinidad and Tobago. Finally, it discusses language planning and some of its common goals.
Samarjit Kachari-New media:Hope for literature and language survival?
The document discusses how social networking sites like Facebook are being used to promote the endangered Bodo language of Assam, India by facilitating the regular use of the language through uploading articles, poems, videos and images, and commenting in both Bodo and English. While increasing internet access could boost these efforts to strengthen the use of Bodo, political and economic factors will also influence whether the language survives alongside efforts to promote it through new media.
Language_and_the_Blogosphere
This document discusses blogging in Kiswahili. It provides definitions of blogs and notes that the first Kiswahili blogs emerged in 2004. It describes the author's experience starting his own blog to publish online without technology knowledge. The blog aims to demystify technology, civilize journalism, and be a place for cooperation versus competition. Blogging is encouraged as a way to learn and share in one's native language and make information accessible to more people.
Importance of english language
English is an important international language for several reasons:
1) It is spoken by over 1.5 billion people worldwide as either a first or second language.
2) English serves as a lingua franca that allows people who speak different languages to communicate.
3) Knowledge in many fields such as science, technology, business, and academia is primarily documented and shared in English, making it important for access to information.
History of the English Language pdf (1)
The document provides a history of the English language and how it became a global language. It discusses how English originated from various roots and became the working language of the global village due to factors like British colonialism, the power of the United States, and increasing need for international communication. The document also analyzes the three concentric circles of English - the inner circle where it is a first language, the outer circle where it is a second language, and the expanding circle where it is a foreign language. It notes how non-native English speakers now outnumber native speakers.

English and the african identity
This document discusses the impact of globalization and colonialism on languages in Africa. It notes that while over 2,500 languages are spoken in Africa, 48 of 57 African countries have adopted European languages like English, French, and Portuguese as official languages. However, the author argues this endangers local identities and cultures. The document examines factors that have led to the dominance of foreign languages, like colonialism and attitudes among some African parents who refuse to teach their children native languages. It warns that losing local languages could result in "the linguistic extermination" and complete loss of cultural identity for many Africans.
World Englishes
1) English has become a global language with more non-native speakers than native speakers. It is spoken by over 1.5 billion people worldwide and is used extensively in business, science, and pop culture.
2) Braj Kachru coined the term "World Englishes" to describe the diverse varieties of English that have developed as the language has spread globally. While traditionally only British English was considered the standard, Kachru argued that local Englishes have developed their own rules and norms.
3) English is becoming localized in many countries, taking on aspects of local languages and cultures while still providing a common means of global communication. It is growing as a means of cultural expression rather than solely as
Importance of English
English is an important language for several reasons:
1) It is a global lingua franca and is spoken internationally as a common language between people who do not share a native tongue.
2) English is widely used in science, technology, and education with the majority of scientific journals and technical literature published in English.
3) It is important for business, trade, and employment opportunities in fields like teaching, translation, media, and more. English allows access to international commerce, education, and opportunities on a global level.

Indigenous and minority languages about the use of virtual worlds
This document summarizes a paper about using virtual 3D learning spaces to teach indigenous and minority languages. It discusses two case studies of the Basque and North Sámi languages in Europe. For Basque, a survey of 38 teachers found interest in using virtual environments but also challenges due to technical issues and workload. North Sámi, spoken by up to 30,000 people, faces threats as the language is underrepresented in virtual spaces. Overall, the document discusses the potential benefits of virtual worlds for language revitalization but also epistemological reasons why some indigenous groups may not want their cultures represented in such environments.

This document discusses lingua francas, which are common languages used for communication between groups that do not share a native language. It provides examples of historical and current lingua francas such as Arabic, Spanish, Russian, and English. English has become the most widely used lingua franca due to factors like British colonialism, the world wars, and its use in domains such as media, business and science. However, the dominant lingua franca may change over time. The document also notes that people's choice of lingua franca depends on geographical, historical, political and commercial connections.

This event will adopt a hybrid format, allowing participants to join us either through an online Mircosoft Teams session or in person at TU/e located at Den Dolech 2, Eindhoven, Netherlands. The meet-up will be hosted by Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e), a research university specializing in engineering science & technology.
Power Grid Model
The global energy transition is placing new and unprecedented demands on Distribution System Operators (DSOs). Alongside upgrades to grid capacity, processes such as digitization, capacity optimization, and congestion management are becoming vital for delivering reliable services.
Power Grid Model is an open source project from Linux Foundation Energy and provides a calculation engine that is increasingly essential for DSOs. It offers a standards-based foundation enabling real-time power systems analysis, simulations of electrical power grids, and sophisticated what-if analysis. In addition, it enables in-depth studies and analysis of the electrical power grid’s behavior and performance. This comprehensive model incorporates essential factors such as power generation capacity, electrical losses, voltage levels, power flows, and system stability.
Power Grid Model is currently being applied in a wide variety of use cases, including grid planning, expansion, reliability, and congestion studies. It can also help in analyzing the impact of renewable energy integration, assessing the effects of disturbances or faults, and developing strategies for grid control and optimization.
What to expect
For the upcoming meetup we are organizing, we have an exciting lineup of activities planned:
-Insightful presentations covering two practical applications of the Power Grid Model.
-An update on the latest advancements in Power Grid -Model technology during the first and second quarters of 2024.
-An interactive brainstorming session to discuss and propose new feature requests.
-An opportunity to connect with fellow Power Grid Model enthusiasts and users.
