#Sondage / #Survey
Set up by colleagues in the USA gathering information on viability/endangerment of... not languages, but ***minority-language documentation & language work***. Recent events of withdrawal of government support serve as an opportunity to think more broadly about long-term resilience.

It comes in 2 versions:

Happy #Sámi National Day! Went to #Legoland #Billund #Denmark back in October 2025 and saw a lot of #Nordic, #Baltic and #European flags at the #ThemePark, so I built this there out of #Lego as well. Adopted in 1986, an official #Emoji of this #Flag is still missing.

In a world where AI speaks every major language,
some voices are still missing.

QashqAI-Voice-Core is about protecting endangered languages and human dignity — not replacing them.

AI should listen before it speaks.
