Aseto World Languages Project: PEOPLES, THEIR LANGUAGES AND THEIR LANDS

(French, Yoruba, Hausa versions below) Beside the physique, Language is the most outstanding of the features that distinguishes homo sapiens from other creatures.

Through language, human beings communicate with one another - and even with their creator. Through it, they bring meaning into their life and beautify their environment.

The phrase, In the Beginning there was Word, God was the Word expressed in diverse ways by various scriptures underlines the primacy of the tongue as far as existence is concerned. Words, needless to reiterate are bricks with which a language is structured, expressed and made meaningful.

Of course, there are as many languages almost as there are tribes or ethnic groups in the world. Embodied in each people's language is the collective memory of that people. Through their language, they express themselves; their past experiences, present travails and triumphs as well as their future aspirations - hopes and fears  - along with steps being taken or to be taken for the purpose of addressing such ontological imperatives.

Every social scientist knows that the more of a people's language at a person's disposal, the greater one's possible knowledge or understanding of the people in question. And the more knowledge of the people of the world we have, the better for us all. For, in such knowledge regales chances of greater understanding which in turn can lead to a better appreciation of each other's fears and respect for each other's feelings. Logically, what flows from such scenarios would be easy resolution of potential conflict areas, thus leading to greater peace in the world. Peace, understanding and knowledge, needless to reiterate, are a primary condition for survival and sustainable development anywhere in the world.

An important arm of the UN, UNESCO alerted that by the turn of the century, hundreds of languages would die. The quantum of the collective memory and the inherent knowledge that would be so lost can only be imagined.

We in the AGENCY for an enhanced SOCIO-ETHICS AND TRADITIONAL ORDER (ASETO) dread the possibility and consequence of such monumental loss. It is in an attempt to avert or at least mitigate the extent and/or enormity of the possible loss that impelled us into embarking on this project called ASETO's Indigenous People's Indigenous Languages Project - AIPILaP for short.

The first aspect of the project entails the listing of as many indigenous people as we can from all over the world as well as the language they speak. We will later go a step further by being briefly historical concerning the said people and their language. Countries where a given people reside and lands to which the given language has spread and/or spoken would also be mentioned. In each instance, we shall do all that is humanly possible in the circumstance to avoid the pecuniary politics attached to or associated with the people and/or their language.

Our hope is that the modest effort would compliment that of UNESCO and that of other organizations and individuals working at preserving our linguistic heritages.

We are not aware of a single source from which all languages of the world can be accessed. Part of our challenge in embarking on this project is to provide such a simple source so that researchers, policy makers and the general public can have information on any language and its purveyor at a mere click of a button.

It is hoped that efforts such as this would enable us all further appreciate how really united human beings are. A realization that we speak a common language (as defined by the organ, tongue, which is an important determiner of any verbal expression). Such a realization may impel division - and discrimination mongers to moderate their ways.

But above all we hope that through this and related projects, collective knowledge inherent in various peoples and their languages would be available for the general edification of mankind. Welcome on board. We are by no means assuming that we have even half of the world tribal groups and languages on our list yet for they are quite many.  . For instance, Vanuatu, (a small country of 13 islands and 70 islets in the Melanesian archipelago with a population of just 200,000 has about 106 languages according to UNESCO).  We wanted to wait until we could have a near exhaustive list. But we felt that we could start and keep updating. For this reason, we shall appreciate suggestions and links to sources for improving our list and the entire project itself.

Furthermore we are open to suggestions and contributions in any form so long as it is on the stated objective. You can reach us on aseto1@yahoo.com or africa_aseto@yahoo.com

A part le physique, la langue est le caracteristique plus remarquable que distingue l'home (homo sapien) de autres creatures. L'home utilise la lange por communique un a autre y aussi avec son createur. Dona l'homme a une raison de vivre et il fait que le environment etre beau.
L'expression 'En le commencement il etail un mot, Dieu etait le mot' que les gens s'ont exprime en facons divers  dans les Ecriture, Sacre, demontre l'importance de la langue enl'existence de la vie. Bien sur, il ya presque autant de langues qu'il y a les tribus. Incarne en la langue de chaque tribu est la memoire collective de cette tribu. Les gens s'experiment ses experiences passee, ses peineo/pernes et sus trromphes/tiromphes present, et ses aspirations futurs - les espoirs et les craintes, par sa langue.  Ansi, les gens s'experiment  les methodes que se pris por s'occuper des exigences  de la vie banalle. Chaque scientifique social sait que serait plus facile comprendre et connaitre les gens si nous savon beaucoup sur la langue de ces gens. Les plus que nous savons, de les gens que vivent dans le monde, le mieux serait por tont. Si nous comprenons les gens area que nous vivons, nous pouvons apprecier ses craintes et nous pouvons respecter ses sentiments. En consequence il serait facile resondre les problemes et garder la paix. La paix, la comprehension et la connaissance sont tres importante pour la survie el ledevelopment par tout dans le monde.
UNESCO a dit que dans ce siecle des centaines des langues mourrent.
Nous, les gens qui sont dans l'agence pour augmenter les ethiques - sociales et l'order traditionnel (ASETO, AGENCY for an enhanced SOCIO-ETHICS AND TRADITIONAL ORDER) avons crainte la possibilite et la consequence de une perte  tellement grand. Pour eviter on an moins limiter la perte de beaucoup de langues, nous en ASETO avons comence un projet que  nous avons appelle ASETO's Indigenous Peoples Languages Project (AIPILP).
Le premier  aspect du projet consiste en dressant les noms de toutes les tribus que nous pouvons dresser, et les langues que ces gens parlent. Plus tarde nous ecrirons un pen de l'histoire de ces gens. Nous ecrirons aussi les pays on les gens habite et autres endroits on il ya des gens que parlent ces langues.
Nous avons l'espoir que le travail que nous faisons complimentera le travail que UNESCO  fait y les travails des autres organisationes qui voulent conservernos heritages linqustiques. Nous voulons fournir une source simple on les chercheurs, les gens qui fait les politiques, et tout le monde pent obtenir les renseignement sur toutes les langues y ses fournisseurs  avec un declir d'un bouton.
Nous avons l'espoir que le travail que nous faisons aide tout le monde comprendre que nous sommes un.Surtont nous avons l'espoir que parce que nous avons fait ce projets come ce project, la connaissance collective qui sont dans les gens, y les langues de ces gens sera disponible pour edtier l'homme.

Ademas del fisico, el lenguaje es la caracteristria mas destacado que se distingua el hombre (homo sapien) de otras criaturas.
El hombre uso el lenguaje para comuniarse uno a otro, y tambien con su creador. Asi el hombre tiene razon de vivir y el hace que el ambiente sea bella.
La frase "En el comienzo habra una palabra, Dios fue la palabra" que la gente ha expresado en formas diferentes en las Sagradas Escrituras, demonstra la importancia del lenguaje en la existencia de la vida.
Por supuesto hay casi tantos lenguajes como hay las tribus en el mundo. Incorporado en el lenguaje de cada tribu es la memoria colectria  de esa tribu. La gente se expresa sus expenriencias pasadoas, sus dolores y sus triuntos presentes y sus anhelos futuros - las esperanzas y las aprensiones por medio de su lenguaje. Tambien la gente se expresa las medidas que se toma para dirigir las exigencias de lavida estidiana cada cientifico social sabe que seria plus facil comprender y conocer  una gente si sabemos mucho lo mejor seria para todos. Si nosotros comprendemos la gente con quien viivmos, podemos apreciar sus aprensiones y podemos respectar sus sentimentos. Por consiguiente sera facil resolver problemas y retiene la paz. La paz, el entedimiento y el corocimiento son muy importante para la supervivencia y el desen volvimiento en todaas partes del mundo.
El UNESCO a dicho que al cmienzo del siglo centos del lenguajes moriran.
Nosotros en una agencia que se realza los ethicos-socio y orden tradicional, (ASETO - AGENCY for an enhanced SOCIO-ETHICS AND TRADITIONAL ORDER) tememos  la posibilidad y la consequencia de una perdida enorme como este. Para apartar o a menos limitar la perdida de muchos lenguajes, nosotros en ASETO comenzamos un proyecto llamado 'ASETO's Indigenous Peoples' Indigenous Languages Project )AIPILP).
El primero del proyecto consiste en compilando los nombres de todas las tribus que podemos compilar el lenguaje que se habla . Mas tarde escribiremos un poco de la historia de estas tribus. Tambien compilaramos los paises donde vive la gente y los otros lugares donde se habla los lenguajes.
Esperemos que este trabajo ayudara el trabajo ue UNESCO hace, y tambien el trabajo que otras organizaciones hacen . Queremos proveer un lugar donde los investigadores la gente que hace los programas politicos y la gente en general pueden obtenir informacion sobre cualquier lenguaje y su abastecedor facilmente.
Esperamos que este trabajo nos ayda apreciar la realidad que somos uno. Tambien esperamos que el conocimiento que cada tribu tiene y su lenguaje sera disponible para el edificacion de lagente del mundo.
