       | Interesting. I've been looking up at setting up Internet-in-a-box
       | for a what-if scenario (ex. what if people can charge their
       | phones but have no internet access), and am amazed that you can
       | download wikipedia in well over a hundred languages.
       | 
       | I wondered, after getting the key languages spoken here (English
       | being #1 by far) about Blackfoot, but see that there is no
       | version of Wikipedia in that language. I wonder if they have any
       | first nations languages (and yes, I understand that it depends on
       | volunteers writing the articles in those languages, and that they
       | almost certainly speak English better).

       | I'm surprised obscure languages like Oji-Cree have unicodes
       | 
       | As more human languages go extinct, I wonder if people in the
       | future will forget where some unicodes come from and if they will
       | try to repurpose some codes

       | For those less comfortable reading Oji-Cree, CBC has helpfully
       | published a translation in English:

         | The CBC has never done this before: posted a complete article
         | in an indigenous language on the main English site.
         | 
         | An awesome read that brings home the point of the people trying
         | to keep their native languages alive.

         | Yeah, I was confused when first looking at this. But, the title
         | of the English version is "Why I am reclaiming my mother's
         | language before it's too late". So, pretty cool on CBC's part
         | to put make a translation like this.
