“

Language is a city to the building of which every human being brought a stone.

”

— Ralph Waldo Emerson

Lingua Libre has been designed so that everyone can pass on to future generations
the fragile treasure of orality

The words, phrases, expressions thus collected thanks to you will improve some Wikimedia projects (like Wikipedia, Wikimedia Commons and the Wiktionary) and help specialists in their work.

About

This ambitious project aims to bring together a unique audio corpus that will help to bring visibility to minority and regional languages by improving the different linguistic versions of Wikipedia and providing audio material to illustrate Wiktionary entries.
