- Toute l'Histoire le montre : les idiomes des **Etats** dominants conduisent souvent à la disparition de ceux des **Etats** dominés. Le grec a englouti le phrygien. Le latin a tué l'ibère et le gaulois. A l'heure actuelle, 25 langues disparaissent chaque année ! Comprenez bien une chose : je ne me bats pas contre l'anglais ; je me bats pour la diversité. Un proverbe arménien résume merveilleusement ma pensée : « Autant tu connais de langues, autant de fois tu es un homme. »
  All history shows: idioms of dominant **states** often lead to the disappearance of the languages of the dominated states. Greek engulfed the Phrygian. Latin killed the Iberian and Gallic. Currently, 25 languages are disappearing every year! Understand one thing: I'm not fighting against English, I fight for diversity. An Armenian proverb wonderfully summarizes my thought: "The more languages you know, the more you are a person."
