The 'Same Name' Project

A brand new initiative. Grouping languages together in a way that's never been done before. About Right now, just about the whole world is in contact with each other but the languages that grouped our communities together in the first place are stopping us from connecting with other communities because of the linguistic barriers that exist. This project is here to do its bit in breaking down this barrier, without forcing a new language on anyone or risking the loss of another one. Each country,... city, town and village has a name, a name that they chose. I've never heard a Scotsman refer to his country as Écosse or a Spaniard refer to herself - as I suppose - a Spaniard. Universalisation is something that is going to happen. And so I propose this: that each place, whether big or small, be referred to using the name it was given by it's people, allowing universalisation on our own terms. Where you come in To help spread this cause and make this a successful project please follow and reblog, it would really be appreciated.
