Birthday greetings in Malayalam

The good news is that I have never received more numerous, more colorful or more multilingual birthday greetings in my life. Rahul Upadhyay created this beautiful pictured item in Malayalam; Naoki Watanabe wrote a birthday greeting in no fewer than 18 languages, several of which he is probably the only speaker on Earth. Many, many others wrote, especially through Facebook, and I thank you all.

The bad news is that we need to raise at least $600 in pledges in the next 24 hours or we’ll be seriously falling behind. If you were waiting to see whether others would back our campaign, please wait no longer. If you were not sure about the value or the impact of the Endangered Alphabets–well, that cascade of birthday wishes from all over the world is the evidence you need. Please support us now by clicking HERE.

Since the Endangered Alphabets began in 2010, we have gone from being a back-room obsession to a global non-profit working to save endangered languages, written and spoken.

During that period of amazing growth, by far the most significant source of funding has been our crowdfunding Kickstarter campaigns.

We have just launched our most ambitious yet–to support the creation of a major exhibition of carvings saying “mother tongue” in endangered languages, to be launched on International Mother Language Day in February 2017.

We cannot do this without your support. Please check out the video HERE,  and support our campaign. And please recommend your friends do likewise: we are going to need all the help we can get!

Thanks.
