European Day of Languages, 26 September - Celebrating linguistic diversity, plurilingualism, lifelong language learning

At the initiative of the Council of Europe, Strasbourg, the European Day of Languages is celebrated since 2001 on 26 September.

800 million Europeans throughout the Council of Europe 47 member states are encouraged to learn more languages, at any age, in and out of school. Being convinced that linguistic diversity is a tool for more intercultural understanding, the Council of Europe promotes cultural richness and plurilingualism in whole Europe.
On the occasion of the day, a range of events are organised across Europe: happenings for children, television and radio programmes, language classes, conferences, etc. Member states and potential partners, in particular schools, are given a free hand to organise activities. To coordinate the activities organised at national level, the Council of Europe asks participating countries to nominate "National Relay Persons" who also disseminate promotional material produced by the Council of Europe.

Film - Body of lies

EN Based on Washington Post columnist David Ignatius' 2007 novel about a CIA operative, Roger Ferris (Leonardo DiCaprio), who uncovers a lead on a major terrorist leader suspected to be operating out of Jordan. When Ferris devises a plan to infiltrate his network, he must first win the backing of cunning CIA veteran Ed Hoffman (Russell Crowe) and the collegial, but perhaps suspect, head of Jordanian intelligence. Although ostensibly his allies, Ferris questions how far he can really trust these men without putting his entire operation - and his life - on the line.

"Patar nos" en Eulingu

Patar nos qv’est in cael

Est sanktirdt dun nom

Est arivir dun regnu

Y non conduktir-nus in temptazon

But liberir-nus ab mal

Por dun est nu regnu

Nu forzu y nu gloru

Por eternitu

Amen

The big question: How to form an artificial language which makes sense to everyone or at least to most of us?

One would agree that it seems a great and sometimes impossible challenge TO create a unilang which would serve all Europe and Europeans as a European auxiliary language such as Esperanto or Interlingua. While Esperanto & Interlingua were introduced in late 1880 and mid 1950, more up-to-date approaches seem necessary to deal with the enormous changes in social, cultural & European life. R u ready?

Democracies, elections (just look at Obama in the US), the internet, mobile phones & free boundaries opened up a new world which cannot be ignored, therefore the European Spirit needs to be held up high and its influence should be reflected in every step of our attempt in creating a European Unilang.

Quote by Thomas Jefferson

USA. I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around the banks will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered.'

Thomas Jefferson 1802

Nu lingu d'art LINGUA EURANA d'Klaus H. Dieckmann

DE Die Lingua Eurana ist als Sprache des europäischen Volkes entworfen. Sie ist logisch aufgebaut, "einfach" zu sprechen, mit einer regelmäßigen Grammatik. Die Lingua Eurana hat ihre Wurzeln im klassischen Lateinischen und ähnelt den romanischen Sprachen und kann in kurzer Zeit erlernt werden. Sie wird Ihnen sicherlich gefallen. Die Zeichenschrift zu beherrschen dauert natürlich länger, macht aber Spaß und vermittelt neue Einsichten und Ideen über die chinesische Kultur. Diese Schrift ist von besonderer Ästhetik. Je länger man sich damit beschäftigt, desto mehr Fazetten und unerwartete Assoziationen fallen einem auf, ein Aspekt, den die Lateinschrift nicht bietet.

Ni artikali: Nu, Ni y Un

Nu/Ni: The definite articles "nu" and "ni" derive from the Irish articles “an” (sgl.) and “na” (pl.). In Europun “nu” means “the” (sgl.) and “ni” “the” (pl.). There is no distinction between f, m and n =>

nu fem – the woman, ni femi – the women
nu patar – the father, ni patari – the fathers
nu strat – the street and ni strati – the streets

Un: The indefinite article is “un” and there is no distinction between f, m and n =>
un fem – a (one) woman
un patar – a (one) father
un strat – a (one) street

-u: There appear to be cases where an additional "-u" is added to words in the singular form to replace "ordinary" endings such as "-y", "-o", "-ia" or "-ie"=>
un dikzonaru - a (one) dictonary
nu solu - the solo
un cafu - a (one) cafe, coffee

COUSCOUS (la graine et le mulet) by Anton Bitel

Abdel Kechiche's third feature is an ensemble film about food, family, failure and friction within France's community of North African émigrés

Dar feature triast d'Abdel Kechiche un film ensembal sur fud, famil, failur y frikzon in categoru d'emigranti d'Nord Afriku d'Franzu

Take the grain away from fish couscous and you are left with nothing to absorb the acidity of the mullet or the spiciness of the sauce. A similar principle is at work in Abdellatif Kechiche's film.

All the ingredients seem to be in place for a predictable ensemble recipe where everything will come together harmoniously in the end - only for the director to leave us impatient and slavering, like the protagonist's drunken dinner guests in the final scenes, for a perfect dish that may never arrive. In other words, he make us hungry for wishful fantasy, while slyly serving up something with all the frustrations, disappointments and unsavouriness of real life, so that we simultaneously are invited to dream up a happy conclusion while witnessing a tragic catastrophe that tastes very bitter indeed.

In a memorable image from Couscous, we see the 61-year-old Slimane (Boufares) running in circles, getting nowhere except out of breath, as he pursues a trio of taunting youths who have just stolen his moped at a moment when his future employment depends on it...read more => HERE!

Yuropian by Florent Garet

Rouen/France. Yuropian is an imaginary variant of the English language, that could be the official language of the European Union.

Examples:
hi sing - he sings
taim it flai laik an aro - Time if flies like an arrow
da haus ov mai fader - The house of my father

Nice job, Florent!
