Peopleize Decolonized Language Model

The Core Principle is that Language should not be specific to the colonial languages. This idea is using a common emoji icon base for the writing and each spoken language understands the emojis in their native language. You are no longer forced to write in the language of oppressors.


Preserve Your Ancestral Language Before It’s Gone


URGENT: Linguistic Genocide in Progress

There are approximately 7,000 languages spoken by diverse cultures worldwide. Thousands of these Indigenous, First Nations, and Tribal languages are at risk of linguistic genocide. With so many languages endangered, linguists estimate we lose one language approximately every 14 days. Each loss represents irreplaceable cultural knowledge.

Have you ever wondered why you speak the language of your colonizers? The greatest deception of colonization was making you believe English, French, or Spanish is your mother tongue, while systematically stripping away the language of your tribe, nation, and ancestors.

Now you can reclaim what was almost lost with the Peopleize First Nations Language Preservation Tool. Every language we save is a victory against cultural genocide.

Our Mission

We’re building a living dictionary to preserve your original language as an integral part of your culture and identity. All you need to do is contribute by collecting and preserving spoken words before they’re lost forever.

To provide a written form to communicate between all First Nations and people, we use emoji for the written form to communicate between people, creating a universal visual language that transcends colonial linguistic boundaries.

πŸ“˜ Core Idea: Visual System

A written way to communicate with emoji and icons for all languages. Colors can be used to show emotions.
πŸ–€ Love (Black color does not reflect any colors and includes all colors to make it black), πŸ’š Nature Heart (reflects the color green), πŸ’œ Celebrating Heart (reflects color purple), πŸ’› Fresh Heart (reflects color yellow), 🀍 Sad Heart (white reflects all colors and does not include any color), πŸ’™ Cold Heart (reflects color blue), ❀️ Friendship Heart (reflects color red, attention), 🩷 Relationship Heart (reflects color pink)

Integration with Peopleize Education

The Visual Shorthand System (with Numbers) aligns perfectly with Peopleize Education principles:

How This Supports Peopleize Values:

  • Universal Numeracy: Visual number system works across all languages and education levels
  • Mathematical Equality: Same number symbols understood by children and adults worldwide
  • Practical Application: Numbers integrated with communication for real-world use
  • Cultural Neutrality: Hand-based symbols avoid cultural biases in number representation
  • Progressive Learning: Builds from basic counting to complex mathematics visually
  • Lifelong Utility: Useful for daily life, education, business, and creative expression

This complete visual language systemβ€”combining communication, emotion, and mathematicsβ€”provides a practical tool for implementing Peopleize education principles. It enables clear, emotional, and quantitative communication that respects individual expression while building universal understanding.
