Gathering inspiration from Stephen Fry's Planet word Tv program on the BBC it got me thinking how I can refine my concept to come up with something more interesting than just adopting a word and paying money that will go to charity.
Planet Word
On The Guardian the newspaper published a list of all the endangered and extinct languages on the planet. Other articles that I am going to include that I can start with as good references are Wikipedia and National Geographic
List from Wikipedia which categorises the countries within there specific continents. Originally I had the idea of choosing a country from each continent and raising awareness for people but from my mini crit with Ben and Aaron they suggested just choosing one and really focusing on what is in that language.
Something important that I got from look into this is were there are 473 languages that are endangered of being extinct.
