Bonjour Roy,

IMHO it would be great... It would be a way of letting people know about these
languages (and the people) even if they don't go as far as learning them...
Otherwise only people with a special interest in these languages (and knowing
them already...) would get these programs...

An example : before your post I didn't know anything about Yupik, Inuktitut,
Deg Xinag... now at least I know they exist and Hypercard programs could help
me learn more... even if I have no special interest (other than personal)
in learning the language...

Yes... thanks in advance...

Amicalement,
