Before learning Chinese, Ke Yi Blue learned Arabic.
The Division Round Straight University of Arizona Master of English and linguistics, familiar Latvian, Spanish and Korean, and other "foreign language." In 2007, an introduction to the "Beijing film children" subtleties blog that he differences between Chinese have a strong interest.
He currently lives in Beijing, Peking University Guanghua School of Management MBA program taught, and operates a small consulting firm. He is also one of the founders of Chinese Linguistics Sinoglot site.
"Character uncle" from learning Chinese to create the "Chinese Zi", exhausted most of their lives in the effort and all the money. The blue and Division Ke Yi round straight, because their linguistic background, to create "accent Court", it is more than the "Chinese uncle," To easily.
After 2009, when the Chinese Nanjing Ke Yi blue when exposed to a variety of southern dialect,louboutin milano, had founded the "accent Court,http://bbs.jzwjw.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=379220&fromuid=13642," the idea, and told the Secretary round straight. Ke Yi blue felt, "far from home people,http://dgzjia.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=70398&fromuid=4330, suddenly heard the voice of the home, the feeling is very warm."
Next year, they make arrangements for the project with colleagues Sinoglot site. April 2013, "accent Court" has 45 of the Chinese dialects of audio, 75 registered users of the project, officially the Internet operations. After more than two months, "accent Court" has 167 Chinese dialects audio and more than 4100 registered users, and growing.
World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) Richard Istiklal (Richard Ishida) said: "The accent Court is seen one of the most beautiful sites I design, but also very interesting!"

In the "speaker map", the dense variety of colors marked "pushpins." "Thumbtack" with different colors representing different Chinese dialects: green, Mandarin; yellow, Hakka; blue, Min; orange, Wu; reddish brown, the Xiang; Rose Red, Gan; purple, Cantonese; brown, Jin.
Click on each "thumbtack", you can see the storyteller's name, age, place of birth, nationality and photo, spoken dialect and tells the story of the subject matter, you can play the Chinese dialects of these people land Road tells the story of audio. Each audio narrator, are ordinary people; each audio length, most of all in about 5 minutes.
So vivid form, and extremely rich graphic production,nike air jordan, it is quite affinity. In the above election listen to a typical kind of accent is that ordinary readers will find pleasing.

We hope to retain this heritage dialect, and everyone can
"Accent Court is aimed by recording thousands of Chinese dialects oral stories, these stories for future conservation projects and languages. We have a team of volunteers from home and abroad." "Accent Court hopes storytelling form , record sound for each dialect of Chinese. "
What "accent Court," the goal is? Website very clearly said, "We are trying to record the incredible diversity of Chinese dialects The ideal goal is to record at least every town or city and different Chinese dialects," "expects Chinese dialects retain this heritage."
So, who can upload audio story? Web site says "Everyone can. We only ask storytelling audio is Chinese or Chinese dialects native speakers, and tell the story of Chinese dialects with people."
As for the participation record and upload audio mentality, "accent Court" registered users "Da Qiu" says: "I do not want our Mandarin dialect gradually replaced the tradition of what we need, is not it.?"
George Mason University in Virginia, already created a language accent archives (Speech Accent Archive), who recorded hundreds of different accents of people reading the same paragraph in English.
In the US, there is one called "Story Corps (Story Corps)" archive, recorded 45,000 American folk story of word of mouth. Ke Yi blue and Division round straight feel, if the "Story Corps" approach, the family history has been recorded, it makes sense.
"Accent Court" will be Chinese Linguistics and audio oral history together, we should derive some inspiration. But Ke Yi Blue believes that projects similar to this world, there is currently no large-scale public mode of a public resource.
And the "Chinese Uncle" and "Characters Etymology" sites, operators' accent Court "website has been starting at their own expense, and now also receiving sponsorship. According to the Secretary round straight, he said in May this year, they had to raise some funds,http://www.healthcarehall.com/viewnews-301.shtml, and use the money to buy some recording equipment.
Just started doing "accent Court" when, although the Chinese have been very fluent, but dazzling Chinese dialects, or let them a headache. Division Round Straight, said: "I know very little dialect is Mandarin and northern dialects,http://babyuc.com/home.php?mod=space&uid=124680, so 95% of the translation organize content,http://bbs.i539.cn/home.php?mod=space&uid=36577, it is done by volunteers."
