International : La Suisse gagnée par la guerre des langues
Les francophones ont du mal avec le suisse allemand, parlé par 70 % de la population. Les députés suisses doivent-ils obligatoirement s'exprimer en «bon allemand», afin de mieux se faire comprendre de leurs collègues francophones et italophones? Non, a répondu le Parlement helvète fin février, autorisant les politiciens à parler dans leur dialecte sous la Coupole.Cadre européen commun de référence
I wonder if I am the only one that gets seriously disturbed when I see claims that ancient Africans (excluding the Egyptians of course) were not using any writing systems before Arabs came into the continent bringing Arabic script. I believe such an assumption taken as fact is not only erroneous but is also one in several attempts to paint Africans as “lesser” in that everyone else in the world had writing systems except ancient Africans. The truth of the matter is that ancient Africans were writing and there are several African writing systems even though most of them may be forgotten now.
