Spanish Newspaper about Indo-European language revival in Second Life: “My other me, the virtual one”
February 15th, 2007 by dnghu.org
This is part of the news appeared in a regional Spanish newspaper, Hoy (”Today”):
When talking about the Indo-European revival project, the article states that:
(…) Indo-European is a natural language (spoken in a prehistoric community, the Proto-Indo-European one), whilst Esperanto is a language invented by a Polish oculist. Furthermore, Indo-European is a culturally neutral language for the European Union, as (unlike English) it doesn’t imply the prevalence of one country over the others. Besides it is - like Latin - a language already known by professors and students of philology.
And, about Second Life itself, and the possibilities of its virtual world:
After virtual sex, interactive education is the second attractive of Second Life for newcomers. You can give a lecture, present a project or attend classes in University. Because of that, the Dnghu Association uses the virtual world to promote its project.
Even though the article is more about Second Life and virtual world opportunities, it is good news that Indo-European revival appears again in the news.
By the way, we are currently planning the specific shedule for Indo-European language conferences and/or classes in the virtual world, and we will post them in our Google Calendar and in our reports.
