# NamesOfTheLand
**NamesOfTheLand** uses citizen-created maps to put regional and endangered languages back upon their territories. We therefore showcast the traditional names of the land, questioning the visitor and the comunity on their current naming usage of their territories.
## Background
This project has been initiated by Gascon, a subgroup of the Occitan people. A lively language family with about 15 millions speakers around 1900, this practice was mostly disapeared following sustained monolingualist French policies. Today, rare elders and few younger people support its conservation and modest revitalisation. We want to remember, hear, pronunce the native names of our villages, our mountains, our plains, rivers and modest lakes. We wish to share these calls, voices, whistles with our gone grand parents. We these ancient sounds waves of our land, we connect back with generations and generations of our ancestors living accross these landscapes they knew and cared for for centuries.

## Replication
### Requirements
Skills :
- Wikidata / SPARQL (basic)
- Lingualibre recording
- Github (basic)
- Text editing
Variables :
- ISO of your labels language (ex: `oc`)
- Wikidata Qid of your language (ex: `Occitan whistled from Aas (Q117707514)`)
- Wikidata Qid of your target administrative area (ex: `Pyrénées-Atlantiques (Q12703)`)
- Wikimedia Commons prefix for your language (ex: `LL-Q117707514`)
- Latitude of OSM map view's center (ex: `44.2`)
- Longitude of OSM map view's center (ex: `-0.3`)
- Zoom altitude of OSM map view (ex: `11`)
### Recording toponyms
1. Open [Wikidata Query service](https://query.wikidata.org/), input the following SPARQL
- replace `oc` by your language ISO.
- replace `Q12703` by your administrative area of interest.
```sparql
#defaultView:Map
SELECT DISTINCT ?id ?label ?label_fr ?coord ?population
WHERE {
SERVICE wikibase:label { bd:serviceParam wikibase:language "[AUTO_LANGUAGE],oc,fr,en". }
VALUES ?humanSettlementTypes {
wd:Q515 # city
wd:Q3957 # town
# wd:Q484170 # French communes
wd:Q486972 # human settlement
wd:Q618123 # geographic feature
wd:Q3257686 # locality
wd:Q123964505 # populated item
}
VALUES ?administrativeArea {
wd:Q12703 # Pyrennees-Atlantic
}
?id (wdt:P31/(wdt:P279*)) ?humanSettlementTypes ;
wdt:P131 ?administrativeArea .
?id rdfs:label ?label . FILTER(LANG(?label) = "oc")
?id rdfs:label ?label_fr . FILTER(LANG(?label_fr) = "fr")
?id wdt:P625 ?coord . # geo coordinates
OPTIONAL { ?id wdt:P1082 ?population . }
}
```
2. Run query : results appears > Click "Link" > Right-click on "SPARQL endpoint" : copy link address
3. Open [Lingualibre studio](https://lingualibre.org/wiki/Special:RecordWizard) > Step 3 : click "External tools" > paste the link adress.
4. Record these labels, publish them to Wikimedia Commons.
Within a week or two, these toponyms recordings will be added to their Wikidata concepts.
### Hack the map
1. Open `index.html`
1. Replace `oc` and `ocw` by your ISO
2. Replace `Q117707514` by your language ISO or Wikidata Qid, depending on your [audio filenames prefix within Wikimedia Commons LinguaLibre's categories](https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Lingua_Libre_pronunciation)
