For the purpose of this project, an "indigenous language" is a language that is native to a region and spoken by indigenous people, but has been reduced to the status of a minority language. Synonyms are "small languages", "endangered languages", and "autochthonous languages"; some regions also use "aboriginal languages". Wikimedia Indigenous Languages focuses on languages under-represented on Wikimedia projects.

The role of Wikimedia Language Diversity is to support and encourage efforts to develop specific Wikimedia projects in small and endangered languages. It will serve as an international body to collect and share best practices, lessons learned, and methodology for developing small-languages Wikimedia projects and empowering endangered languages. It will offer support to people interested in developing initiatives and new projects. It will become the point of contact to set up cooperation with other organizations working towards the same goals, and it will actively seek such cooperation opportunities.
The proposed process for the creation of the WIL will be discussed once interested parties have been gathered, hence the initial phase is to reach and gather potential members. The creation of a mailing list has been requested to discuss ideas and the process of establishment of the organization.

Wikimedia Indigenous Languages meetup at Wikimania 2019, Stockholm, Sweden

Wikimedia Language Diversity (WLD) is the coordinating body for the promotion and development of indigenous languages on Wikimedia projects.

Mission

Wikimedia Language Diversity's vision is to see the sum of the knowledge available to everybody in their own languages and to share the knowledge of those languages themselves. It will achieve that by:

  • reaching out to indigenous language speakers with the goal of developing Wikimedia projects in their languages
  • establishing working cooperation with like-minded projects and organizations involved in the promotion, revitalization and/or recording of indigenous languages
  • sharing experiences and providing feedback to one another with a view to inspiring and enriching each others' events and programs
  • creating and expanding Wikimedia projects in all indigenous languages
  • supporting Wikilang as a project to document all languages
  • acting together to voice common concerns and interests inside the Wikimedia movement
  • a strong commitment to the advancement of minority languages and diversity within Wikimedia

Definition

For the purpose of this project, an "indigenous language" is a language that is native, or aboriginal to a region and spoken by indigenous people, but has been reduced to the status of a minority language. In some instances, this may include an island of speakers removed from their language communities by trauma and diaspora. Synonyms are "small languages", "endangered languages", "lesser-used languages", "minority languages", and "autochthonous languages"; some regions also use "aboriginal languages". Wikimedia Language Diversity focuses on languages and language communities facing the challenges and hurdles inherent to minority languages, related to corpus development, technical resources, sociolinguistic status, and/or lack of official recognition.

The status of these languages and language communities in Wikimedia may vary greatly from one case to the other, ranging from the most under-represented to those more developed and ranking on the middle-upper end of Wikimedia projects overall. All share a feeling of treading common ground from their lesser-used status, aspiring to both make universal knowledge available to everyone and local knowledge become universal, in close connection with each language's community.

Why is it important?

Languages are the pillars of cultures and the vehicles of oral traditions. They are an essential part of people's identities and an important heritage to preserve. Each language is a unique way of thinking and structuring a view of the world. Each loss of a language represents the loss of centuries-old knowledge, heritage, and history for ever. Cultures are greatly weakened by the loss of their languages and often vanish with it or soon after.

According to UNESCO, 43% of the languages spoken in the world today are vulnerable or in danger of extinction. A language becomes vulnerable when its youth no longer learns it.

Strategy

The role of Wikimedia Language Diversity is to support and encourage efforts to develop specific Wikimedia projects in small and endangered languages. It will serve as an international body to collect and share best practices, lessons learned, and methodology for developing small-languages Wikimedia projects and empowering endangered languages. It will offer support to people interested in developing initiatives and new projects. It will become the point of contact to set up cooperation with other organizations working towards the same goals, and it will actively seek such cooperation opportunities.

Operation

Many lesser-used languages operate at a regional level, often relying on a lingua franca for communication and a referential larger culture; it is the aim of this resource to establish common bonds, as well as cooperation, beyond these areas. Becoming a meeting point opens the opportunity to provide and receive assistance and feedback to learn from each other's experiences with events, programmes and/or helpful technical inventions, and to use information as a way to showcase one's own initiatives. The main language of communication is English, but any other languages are welcome; the goal is to make news and messages as communicative and far-reaching as possible.
