User:MinorityTranslate/Wiki

This Wiki is meant to gather practical and theoretical information on language revitalization and the use of languages in digital spaces, and link to good sources which are useful for learning or could be summarized here or elsewhere in the future. We can make substantial progress, if we all add just a little bit to it.

Currently, many of the subpages refer to external sources. We see that it would be useful to gather the information in one place, and into a focused and goal-oriented wiki, and we will strive to do that.

Also, this page is currently very little developed due to temporal constraints. You are however welcome to contribute, let's build it together.
