Art about language(s) are one way of focusing attention on the importance of languages. David Crystal has suggested this category as one of the key ones for International Year of Languages (IYL) in his "LADDA" schema.
Some efforts along these lines include:
- "Poem-pleas" by Francisco Gomes de Matos
- Poem-Plea 1: 2008 The International Year of Languages, A poem-plea addressed to all Languistic Diversifiers (in English & em Português)
- Poem-Plea 2: PEACEFUL LANGUAGE USE - a poem-plea
- Map-art: A project to map the personal and research locations of people working on on endangered languages, by Victoria Cheung
- deviantArt 2008 International Year of Languages Project
- World Poetry Day
- Poem-Plea 1
