Language observatory : ウィキペディア英語版 | Language observatory
A "language observatory" is something which is built or implemented to observe language activities in society. The need for creating such an instrument is becoming more and more evident in view of the fact that a growing number of languages are endangered. ==The need for observatories== According to the UNESCO report "(Atlas of the World Languages in Danger of Disappearing )", it has been estimated that between 6,000 and 7,000 languages are spoken throughout the world today and, that many more have become extinct. The danger is more imminent in the cyberspace. Another UNESCO document, "(Recommendation concerning the Promotion and Use of Multilingualism and Universal Access to Cyberspace )" noted in its preamble that "linguistic diversity in the global information networks and universal access to information in cyberspace are at the core of contemporary debates and can be a determining factor in the development of a knowledge-based society", and recommended that UNESCO establish "a collaborative online observatory on existing policies, regulations, technical recommendations, and best practices relating to multilingualism and multilingual resources and applications, including innovations in language computerization."
