O projecto MediaGlyphs tem como objectivo a criação de uma língua auxiliar com base em ideogramas multimédia (chamados "mediaglyphs"). Oferece uma maneira simples e interessante de aprender novas palavras noutras línguas. Parte integrante do projecto é criar, com a ajuda da comunidade Unilang, uma enorme base de dados de vocabulário multilingue que use os mediaglyphs como uma ponte entre as línguas.
What is the MediaGlyphs project?
MediaGlyphs is a project to create a new easy auxiliary international language based on multimedia ideograms (named "mediaglyphs"). Everybody would be able to read (think, type, ...) in their own language allowing cross-cultural communication while at the same time protecting the diversity of local languages. [..MORE..]
Using a software interface, you can type sentences in your own language; the sentences are converted to mediaglyphs and transmitted to other users who can read them in their own mother tongue. The input phase is interactive (with possibility to select - in case of ambiguity - the intended words), and this overcomes the many problems of automatic translation.
MediaGlyphs project is a simple and stimulating way to learn new words in other languages, maintaining continuously growing semantic multi-language databases (words arranged by meaning and presented in organised machine readable form). The latest version of the databases is always available here.
MediaGlyphs project is a way to preserve the richness of the world's linguistic diversity and help its survival: sadly more and more languages are becoming extinct or have already disappeared. Uniting without uniforming, integrating without levelling. Languages are not stored as frozen samples but maintained as alive and usable entities.
MediaGlyphs project is a facilitated way to learn and teach the Chinese language, using the glyphs as alternatives to chinese characters. This is possible because MediaGlyphs grammar is modeled after the Chinese grammar.
MediaGlyphs project is a collaborative and non-commercial effort to create an international project/language which is not "?"-centric (eurocentric, malecentric, righthandedcentric...) and not "?"-ist (racist, sexist, fundamentalist...)[..MORE..]
MediaGlyphs project is an attempt to create a computer parsable language that can be used for programming and for Artificial Intelligence research. A language that both humans and computers can understand. [..MORE..]
MediaGlyphs project is a way to communicate concepts and sentences through music (singing, playing, listening) like in the Solresol language, with a musical pronunciation attached to every concept.[..MORE..]
