THE TOPIC OF THE THIRD INTERNATIONAL DON QUICHOTTE CARTOON
CONTEST IS "WORLD LANGUAGES"
In our world today 6800 languages are spoken in over 200
countries. Even in the countries having the same language
exist dialects. Consequently each country adds its own
social values to the language and makes it more colorful. On
the other hand, in the latest 500 years about 750 languages
are disappeared forever. According to the linguists, every
15 days a language is disappearing on the earth. One of the
crucial reasons for this devastation is colonialism for
sure.
There is a dialogue among languages as well. For example
Latin lies at the root of many languages. In connecting
people language plays an important role; while doing so it
can build borders and remove them as well. Chinese is the
most widespread language in the world. Second comes Spanish.
English is the state language of 52 countries as you can
surmise.
Even if we cannot imagine a positive religious dialogue we
can talk about a worldwide linguistic dialogue which is much
more attractive and active. The aim of our contest is to
convey this rich variety through cartoons as much as
possible. The most successful cartoonists in reflecting the
linguistic dialogue will be rewarded by the worldwide top 15
jury of cartoonists whose members are also in the "Don
Quichotte Cartoon Committee".
