Portuguese in the Internet

PPI

Presence of Portuguese Language in the Internet. This is a study conducted, between 2/2021 and 8/2021, by OBDILCI and UNESCO CHAIR ON LANGUAGE POLICIES FOR MULTILINGUALISM, with the support of Brazilian External Affairs Ministry, via Instituto Internacional da LĂ­ngua Portuguesa (IILP). This study, which gathers a large amount of data and indicators about the presence of Portuguese language in cyberspace, concluded with a diagnostic and a set of recommandations. This was the first step of a series of coherent actions which are exposed in sequence.

SEPREPI

SEPREPI, an international workshop about Portuguese in the Internet, was organized by OBDILCI and UNESCO CHAIR ON LANGUAGE POLICIES FOR MULTILINGUALISM in November 2022. The workshop, standing on the PPI results, proposed a strategic analysis of the place occupied by Portuguese in a multilingual Internet, in light of the aim of universal access to cyberspace proposed in UNESCO documents. It presented and discussed the needs and contributions of Portuguese-speaking countries and societies in this context, with the aim of establish a set of recommendations for the strategic development of the presence of the Portuguese language on the Internet.

Indicators for the Presence of Languages in the Internet

In 2017, we devised a new approach that could help to better follow the progress and prevalence of languages online. Using this approach, we were able to identify meaningful indicators outlining the presence of 343 languages on the Internet.
