Minority languages and geography


This is to introduce our website GeoNative, a amateur Internet
resource dedicated to geography, with a very particular focus:
minority languages and placenames. It is at:

http://www.geocities.com/Athens/9479

Also shortcut through:

http://geonative.home.ml.org
 
Languages and place names from little nations, native cultures and
minority languages almost never appear in the maps. Geography ignores
us. GeoNative provides listings of placenames and maps for several
native and minority languages, from Breton to Uzbek or Mari.
 
We have extensive information about languages and minorities of the
former Soviet Union at

http://www.geocities.com/Athens/9479/sov2.html

Also about other minorities of Eastern Europe, as, for example,
Hungarian minorities outside Hungary at

http://www.geocities.com/Athens/9479/magyar.html
 
We hope to add more information in the future about so many minorities
not listed yet in our site. Comments, suggestions and contributions
will be appreciated. Any feedback please to our personal mail:

mailto:geonative@geocities.com or mailto:nabigatzen@jalgi.com

Thanks in advance
 
Best regards
