Text can't express the nuances of a #language compared to #multimedia, and most of the world's languages are oral (and not written). We’re launching OpenSpeaks Archives, an open (@creativecommons licensed) and public digital language multimedia archive optimised for #Wikipedia and #Wikimedia projects, focusing on lesser-resourced languages.
