Languages
Welcome to World University and School Wiki
which anyone can add to or edit.
The Global, Virtual/Digital, Open, Free, {potentially Degree- and Credit-Granting},
Multilingual University & School
where anyone can teach or take a class or course
- Add or take a Language.
Languages - About
- Each language is an university or a school, like the current one in English.
- Here are list of 281 Wikipedias, as one basis for WUaS Languages: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/List_of_Wikipedias.
- The Ethnologue is a list of 7,105 known living languages, as another basis for WUaS Languages: http://www.ethnologue.com/.
- Add languages below, and create a link to a new page for each new subject to wiki-add courses, and teaching and learning resources.
- Also see http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Help:Languages.
- Create World University and School in this language, any way you want, but you can start, too, using 'Courses' and 'Subjects.'
- For each new language, which will become a University and School itself, add language instruction in that language, and to/from that language; this language instruction may become the beginning point for many of these universities/schools.
- If literacy is a big key to reducing the population explosion especially in the emerging world, WUaS would like to prioritize its wiki language universities & schools' development (the plan is to develop a school in each of 3000-8000 languages) for women beginning around age 5 in countries with highest birth rates on OLPCs and similar computers.
- Mathematical symbols and languages too, so all symbols, as wiki, to allow for the creation of new symbols.
WUaS Universal Translator
http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/WUaS_Universal_Translator
World University and School, building on Google Translate with its at least 58 languages - http://translate.google.com/# - may become the basis for a WUaS Universal Translator, for conversation, translation and academic research, perhaps with a focus on context, to complement other online, translation projects.
