The linguists, indigenous communities, and language learners can be access to resources that are until difficult to obtain now. For linguists, scientific data from world’s languages will be easy to get information in on-line newspaper. For indigenous communities, the Web will be a great mechanism for upholding language as educational resource. For students and educationalists, a new tool will be available for teaching and learning minority and rare languages.
