Seeking listings for the BC Polyglot Blog Directory
Posted by Jim DeLaHunt on 19 Feb 2009 at 06:44 pm | Tagged as: British Columbia, language, multilingual
Do you know a blog which is by or for people in BC, and is in some language other than English? If so, submit it for the BC Polyglot Blog Directory!
I created this directory in honour of the 2009 Northern Voice conference, which starts tomorrow at UBC. I wanted to highlight all those minority-language bloggers in BC. In a little bit of searching I already have blogs in French, Traditional Chinese, and Japanese. I fully expect to find blogs in simplified Chinese and Punjabi as well. After all, 18% of people BC use a language other than English at home, according to Statistics Canada and the 2006 census.
I’ve created the directory on my site, at http://jdlh.com/en/pr/bc_polyglot_blogs.html. See the Rules and Q&A there for more information. You can submit listings for the directory by leaving a comment on this post, or by sending a message using that website’s Contact form for Jim DeLaHunt. Please supply the name of the blog, the URL, the language(s) in which it publishes, where the blog is located, and what geography it addresses.
I look forward to seeing this baby grow!
