About

Ethnolinks started as an idea for an interactive Ethnologue. While Ethnologue is an excellent source for information about the languages of the world, there aren’t any easy ways for people who speak or are interested in those languages to have their voices heard. So Ethnolinks seeks to fill that perceived gap, providing links to some of the most prominent resources on the web as well as a discussion forum for speakers and students of the languages of the world to have their say.

This is very much an alpha release and is meant to serve as a proof of concept in hopes of moving toward something that can best serve the language populations of the world.

This site is built on the databases kindly provided by SIL International at the Ethnologue. See here for information about those databases and how they may be used.

This site was conceptualized and designed by David Ker with the following disclaimer:

Kevin Knox did the database magic for the Ethnolinks pages and imported them into WordPress.
