So I think this conference is sort of a bridge to bring people together and enable them to work together because the community that really is contributing towards the development of languages and ensuring that communities make use of their own language on the internet, that's really missing. And it's a really small community out there. So I think bringing so many people together just sort of opens that door for people to work together and also share the issues that they are experiencing in their own work.

So I think the first part, what I could do to support these languages, I think my first, you know, contribution would be to create resources that are educational in nature so that people that are developers or are technically competent could make use of those resources and do something for their own language, because they're the best people to do anything for their own language. And a language community has to take the lead in reviving languages or making a language thriving on the internet.

So many minority languages are not necessarily spoken by communities that are, you know, financially unstable. So it's a very different thing for many other communities. For example, in India there is the Parsi community. The Parsi community is generally financially very stable. They're mostly business people, so they have enough resources financially to support if they want to do anything in their language and culture.
