School news and current events
- Looking for contributors.
School history
The School of Literature and English Studies was founded within the Wikiversity's Department of Humanities on 15 July 2004, in the time when Wikiversity was still part of the Wikibooks project. Eventually, it became one of the most developed Wikiversity's schools.
On 30 March 2005, the School of Foreign Language Learning was founded within the Department of Practical Arts and Sciences, although it was actually never organized properly, nor it ever worked well.
Soon after the Wikiversity became a separate Wikimedia project, these two schools were merged together, creating the School of Language and Literature, as part of the Faculty of Humanities.
Selected biography
Quote
"Language is guardian of a nation. As long as the language exists, as long as we keep it, love it, and respect it, as long as we write in it and speak it; the nation exists as well, and it doesn't flow over into another one, nor it will disappear."
— Vuk St. Karadzic, Serbian slavicist

Did you know...
- ...that Slavonic languages are mutually more similar than the German dialects?
- ...that Russian is the third most used language in the world, after English and Chinese?
- ...that John Ronald Reuel Tolkien, author of The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit, has highly influenced later fictional literature worldwide? And did you know that he was also a great expert in languages, and that he has created about twenty artificial languages himself?
- ...that Esperanto is the most famous among many artificial languages? It is an auxiliary language created by Polish doctor Zamenhof, whose pseudonym was doctor Esperanto.
- ...that Indo-European languages, according to the theory that is accepted by most linguists and historians, have most probably originated in present-day India and Iran, but there are also some linguists who believe that they originated from Europe, since the most of them are spoken in Europe?
