Continuing looking through my pictures, I'm continuing my story of the Ethnologue (
http://trekincartwrights.blogspot.com/2019/09/ethnologue-part-1.html).
These pictures are from a display just down the hall from my office on campus:
 |
| The person in the picture is looking at a list of the languages listed in the 16th edition of the Ethnologue... |
 |
| A close-up of one area of the list of languages... |
 |
| The text at the bottom says: "This display lists the 6,909 known living languages as catalogued in the Sixteenth Edition of the Ethnologue." |
When Vanay takes tours through the building, if anyone on the tour has a particular language that they are curious about or have a heart for, she encourages them to look for it in this list - each time, the person is amazed to find a language listed that they thought no one (or only a few people) knew about...
I look forward to the day when there is one language again, in the earth made new. We will sing the song of Moses together.
