This project aims to be a dictionary for as much as possible of world's languages that are at risk of extinction. A few examples are:
- Kashubian
- [] Lower Sorbian
- [] Upper Sorbian (though it is gaining popularity among the descendants of the native speakers nowadays)
- [] Rusyn
- [] Wymysiöeryś (Vilamovian)
- [] Yiddish
- [] Ainu
- [] Manchu
- [] a lot of Caucasian languages
- [] and many more... Apart from that, this website is going to be available in different languages. Here's a list of ready & planned:
- English
- Polish
- [] Spanish
- [] German
- [] Ukrainian
- [] Those which the dictionary has phrases in
This is a dictionary, which is an interlanguage medium associating phrases of different languages with each other. A dictionary is not an artwork. People use it to find out an analogous or a similar phrase in another language, not to please their eyes. Therefore, it does not depend heavily on stylesheets. I hope this is understandable.
Yes. The plan is to create a vortal about languages. A detailed roadmap follows:
- Assign definitions to various translations of entries
- Create lessons & excercises on the languages handled by the dictionary
- Extend this website so that the previous version will be just a section
- Sections for auxiliary, research, logical & philosophical, artistic, and other constructed languages
- Sections for natural languages, differentiated by the families they belong to
- Sections for pidgins and creoles
- Create resources on linguistics, especially phonetics & IPA
- Create resources about cultures of the world
- Create a forum (& a collaborative platform for constructed languages), but when the website will be hosted somewhere else, hence getting a prospect of being a dynamic one
My name's Antoni [an̪ˈt̪ɔɲi] (or Anthony in English) and am a highschool student from Poland, starting the last (4th) grade this year's September. I'm mainly a linguistics & computer science nerd, but am also interested in sociology, psychology, cultural studies, literature, and philosophy. I would like to study computer science and classics.
