The Origin of the Name “Linglobe”
The name Linglobe is a coined word created by combining two simple yet powerful ideas
“Ling” = Language, speech, voice “Globe” = The world, Earth, humanity

“Linglobe” = A world connected through language.

“Ling”–More Than Just Language

“Ling” doesn’t just mean vocabulary or grammar.
It represents worldviews, emotions, stories, and memory—
the essence of culture, passed down from generation to generation.

“Globe”–The Whole Planet,Every Voice

“Globe” captures Linglobe’s global mission:
to shine a light on endangered languages and their unique cultures from every corner of the world.



Ling + Globe = A Message

Connect the world through words

Let forgotten voices be heard again.
Linglobe aspires to become a living archive—a “library of human expression”
where each word, greeting, and game tells the story of a people.

The Meaning Behind Linglobe’s Blue

The primary color of Linglobe, blue, is not a mere aesthetic choice—
it reflects the very heart of the project’s philosophy.

The Blue of the Sky

The sky stretches above all people, regardless of race, nation, or belief.
We all live under the same blue sky—a universal truth that transcends borders.
This blue represents harmony among cultures and Linglobe’s core belief:
No one is left out of this world.

The Blue of Water

Water is the foundation of life and a crucial part of how languages and cultures have evolved.
It connects people like rivers flowing between lands.
In Linglobe, blue symbolizes connection, origin, and continuity—
a living current of human heritage.

White and Blue

Paired with blue, white expresses neutrality, inclusion, and clarity.
It shows that Linglobe does not judge or exclude; it listens, preserves, and shares.
White also symbolizes purity, renewal, and openness—
a blank page where forgotten cultures can once again be written.

Blue is not about belonging. It’s about embracing.
Linglobe’s blue is a color for all cultures, all voices, all stories.
