Méthode
How to read the observatory.
The five axes.
Vitality: number of speakers, dynamics, transmission. Reach: institutions, media, diplomacy. Crossroads: vehicular and trade role. Written heritage: antiquity of script, historical corpus. Modern presence: Wikipedia, automated translation, TTS/ASR, open corpora.
Where the data comes from.
From Umuzi episodes, their preparation dossiers, and primary sources cited line by line. Nothing is taken from a directory without verification.
Corrections.
A language that challenges a line or brings new information writes to moise@moisebselph.com. The correction is added, dated, and the original line remains visible. We don't erase, we layer.
