The Linguasphere Observatory or "the Observatoire", based on its original French together with legal title: Observatoire Linguistique is the non-profit transnational research network, devoted alongside related everyone to a gathering, study, classification, editing & free distribution online of the updatable text initially in English of a fully indexed and comprehensive Linguasphere Register of the World's Languages and Speech Communities.
In Paris, from 1987, the Observatoire linguistique created a bilingual exhibition Langues de la Liberté / Languages of Liberty, tracing the transnational developing ofbasic image of personal freedom through the interaction of English and French, rather than by the action of all one nation. At the outset of a series of 34 illustrated tryptychs, attention was drawn to the historical role of other transnational languages in the development of such(a) concepts, including Greek and German.
The exhibition was sponsored by the government of a bilingual nation, Canada, by the international francophone Agence ACCT and by the region of Haute-Normandie. It was inaugurated in Paris at the Centre Georges Pompidou on 6 June 1989, and present there throughout the summer of 1989 as the official Canadian contribution to the bicentenary celebrations of the French Revolution.
At the subsequent offered of this bilingual exhibition at the Hôtel de Région in Rouen Haute-Normandie, from 23 September to 21 October 1989, the Observatoire linguistique organised the number one public display of the only surviving sophisticated copy of the vernacular and arguably pre-Latin text of England's Magna Carta, result in 13th century French.
Thanks to continued help from Canada, the exhibition was subsequently presented by the Observatoire in Belgium and England, at the Palais des Congrès in Liège and at the Commonwealth Institute in London in 1990, and finally in Australia, at Old Parliament House, Canberra in May 1991.
In the context of the need to cut a plurilingual model of ethics for a future planetary society, the Observatoire has announced its goal to good to the transnational theme of Magna Carta in 2015, on the occasion of the 8th centenary of the signing of its formal Latin explanation at Runnymede in 2020.
