A year ago, the Untied Nations decided to place <strong>2008 <\/strong>under the general slogan \u201cLanguages matter\u201d. The year long celebration bore witness to the creation of <strong>over 200 initiatives in favor of languages<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Amongst these programs is the Fondation Chirac\u2019s \u201cSorosoro, so that the languages of the world may prosper!\u201d that UNESCO has saluted as an exemplary initiative due to its concrete actions<\/strong>. Rozenn Milin, the program\u2019s director for the Fondation, came to explain its objectives. It aims to \u201caccompany and round out the wonderful work undertaken by researchers and academics\u201d with the implementation of a Digital Encyclopedia of Languages. This linguistic wealth will be diffused thanks to an Internet site whose launch is planned for June 2, 2009. \u201cThere is no peace without development and no development without culture,\u201d Rozenn Milin insisted. This is why the Fondation Chirac has placed the safeguard of languages at the heart of its project for peace.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">UNESCO also lauded another initiative, the Maaya Network, a platform uniting various actors in linguistic domains from across the world.
