This development, to be presented in detail early this autumn, will support the creation of online access, free and plurilingual, to the universal compendium of useful human knowledge, as gathered and presented through the languages of every continent.
The Observatoire linguistique sends its congratulations to the Wikimedia Foundation for its pioneering accomplishments in such a few years towards this transnational goal, as well as its sincere thanks to the Institut français.
At the same time, the Observatoire linguistique has completed the task of publishing both volumes of David Dalby’s Linguasphere Register of the World’s Languages and Speech Communities freely online, in PDF-format on this site. See “Linguasphere Register Online” above, part of the Observatoire’s open public information service.
