Disappearing languages get lifeline from Technology - Global Journalist

"Once seen as a threat, the Internet is now an aid for endangered tongues.

The spread of the Internet has accelerated the global use of English. And the march of English has come as UNESCO forecasts that half of the more than 6,000 languages currently spoken in the world are likely to disappear by the end of this century, a decline fueled by globalization, migration and the spread of mass media.

Yet the Internet, often seen as a force for the Americanization of global culture, may be a tool to save endangered languages like Breton. “The Internet, computers and cellphones now play an important role in everybody’s life,” says Fulup Jakez, director of France’s Public Office for the Breton Language. “Consequently languages that hope to stay alive in the modern world must be online.”….."

Qu'est-ce qui attend l'association Bretagne TransAmerica en 2015 ? Son président, Jean-François Baudet, dévoile des actions inédites. En 2015, BTA sera présent à nouveau au château de Tronjoly pour l'exposition Ces Bretons d'Amérique. « Il reste encore deux ou trois panneaux importants à réaliser, sur les 100 ans de Gourin-City au Canada par exemple », explique Jean-François Baudet. Cet été, au château de Tronjoly, une salle supplémentaire devrait être réservée à BTA. En effet, lors de la prochaine assemblée générale (fin janvier ou début février), Jean-François Baudet présentera le projet d'exposition de photographies « Breizh On The Road ». « Avec Charles Kergaravat, président de l'association Breizh Amerika, nous devrions diffuser une série de dix à quinze photos et une vidéo de " Gouel Breizh-Fête de la Bretagne" qui aura lieu du 16 au 25 mai 2015 aux USA avec le soutien de la région Bretagne ». 


Kan ha diskan aux USA 


Un groupe breton de kan ha diskan « The Collective », renforcé de musiciens du Garifunas, parcourra les villes de New York, Rochester (État de New-York), Cleveland (Ohio), Chicago (Illinois), Albuquerque (New-Mexico). « Une première "offensive culturelle bretonne" au niveau du territoire américain pour présenter notre culture et notre région », se réjouit d'avance Jean-François Baudet. « En quelque sorte, c'est BTA qui présentera le résultat de cette formidable aventure culturelle aux États-Unis. J'ai vraiment hâte de voir ça ! »…

Hundreds of French expats and New Yorkers attended a rally for solidarity with France in Washington Square Park, NYC on Saturday to support the French after several brutal attacks by terrorists. The crowd sang France's national anthem, and also held up pens, pencils and anything to symbolize a writing tool, and the fight for freedom of speech against terrorism. Similar rallies will be held across the USA this weekend, including Washington DC, Charlotte, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Portland, LA, Las Vegas, Chicago, Santa Barbara, Boston, Austin, Dallas, Houston, Salt Lake City, San Francisco, and Atlanta. 

You can leave a condolence message regarding the attack which was carried out against the Charlie Hebdo magazine by clicking on this address: info@ambafrance-us.org
