[Japanese]/[Esperanto]
I introduce "KAMUY YUKAR which are verse tales of Ainu people and Ainu language newspapers" in Japanese and Esperanto.
"INPAKU" is the name for Internet Fair 2001 Japan.
We, members of the worldwide movement for the promotion of Esperanto, declarate "PRAGUE MANIFESTO (outside of INPAKU)"(The versions in languages of several countries for PRAGUE MANIFESTO(outside of INPAKU)) in July, 1996 in the 81st world Esperanto convention held in Prague in Czech Republic. In this declaration, while a criterion, a point of argument, etc. in international communication is shown, Esperantist's (Esperanto users') position is defined and the role which Esperanto can achieve is raised. In this declaration, the right of language (linguistic human rights) is taken up by the 5th clause. Moreover, the diversity of language is taken up by the 6th clause.
If it says about the right of language, the 2nd article of the "Universal Declaration of Human Rights (outside of INPAKU)" adopted by the 3rd United Nations General Assembly has made reference, saying "Everyone is entitled to all the rights and freedoms set forth in this Declaration, without distinction of any kind, such as ......, language, ......", the 27th article of B agreement of the "International Covenants on Human Rights" adopted by the 21st United Nations General Assembly has made reference to the right which uses its own language and has said the rights of language is positioned as human rights.
Many of Esperantist claims that "the right of language (linguistic human rights)" is one of the human rights hung up over the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and they are endeavoring after the spread of the Declaration of Human Rights.
From the viewpoint such the right of language and the diversity of a language, "Ainu Shin'yooshuu (Collection of Ainu Sacred Songs) and Esperanto" and "An Ainu language newspaper and Esperanto " are introduced in Japanese and Esperanto on this page.
Ainu is the indigenous people of Hokkaido which is an island in the north in Japan.
