Mozambique languages on Wikipedia

This is a language development and documentation project sponsored by LIDEMO.

Intro

Until 2010, I was known online as Lingamish. In keeping with my identity switch I'm going to now be posting on Wikipedia as Kanyimbe. See my old stuff on Wikipedia here: User:Lingamish

I have worked for more than a decade in Mozambique in linguistics, language development and Bible translation. Beginning in 2010 I was transferred to South Africa to work on regional language development initiatives.

My primary reason for jumping into Wikipedia was that I was looking at ways to make data and publications for Mozambican languages more accessible. I'm very interested in Ethnologue and have created a prototype of a "social Ethnologue," called Ethnolinks. My puzzler has been how to allow user contributions across 7,000 language entries without it descending into chaos. One possibility is to push traffic to the appropriate page on Wikipedia and allow speakers to negotiate links and information here.

IRL

I am David Ker, a linguist and director of Little Zebra Books.
