AI and Multilingualism Q3: How Mohammad Merajul Islam’s Experience

in Bangladesh Shapes the Book’s Perspective

https://medium.com/p/bfbcc19b9339?postPublishedType=initial

No one can know, or even understand, what life is in the Global South, in this case in Bangladesh in the Indian subcontinent in Asia. The author Md. Merajul Islam is discreet and even humble, keeping at a distance not to appear as speaking of his own situation, but rather of that of a young man from what we would call a poor family in any country in the world. Low education. Packed mud walls of their lodgings with corrugated metal on the roof, at times even only two or three layers of palm leaves, and some rats living in these palm leaves. The huts are detached most of the time or semi-detached. They have no electricity, or they have electricity with numerous cuts, particularly at night. No real scholarships to help the kids through their low education. Hardly any prospect of being admitted to a better school, and no future in universities.

As for work, unemployment is sky-rocketing with a vast proportion of men and women, young or not so young, with no jobs at all and reduced to odd jobs with very long hours, low pay, and no guarantee for tomorrow, or for healthcare. Imagine what it means for someone who develops asthma in such a tropical climate. The odd jobs are manual and have to do with all sorts of masonry, or agriculture if there is any possibility. If you want to grow some rice for your family, you have to work the paddy of someone else. You do all the work, you provide all the equipment, including the seeds and the fertilizer, and yet you have to share the harvest 50-50 with the landowner who provided the land. That is feudalism.

And since they are Muslims, they are the constant victims in the West of segregation, rejection, and despise. That is called islamophobia, the Muslim equivalent of antisemitism for the Jews. And they dream of Ishmael, the first son of Abraham from his wife’s Arab slave, rejected later on by Abraham after he got a son from his wife, and Ishmael and his mother were thrown into the desert to die of thirst and hunger. Ishmael is the founding figure of Islam.

Read Mohammad Merajul Islam’s text and then the book. We sold the first copy yesterday in France.

AI and Multilingualism Q2: Forced Migration and the Survival of Languages

https://medium.com/p/18a617b38d14?postPublishedType=initial

The debate on Artificial Intelligence is deepening and becoming global. Can the whole of humanity, every single nation, every single culture, every single language benefit from AI? The answer is somewhere in the confrontation of three zones. The USA and its Silicon Valley corporations have invested and built a full infrastructure for it. They are ready to colonize the world with their English LLM.

China has made AI compulsory in the school system starting at six. They invest a lot in the implementation of their AI, digitally simpler, cheaper in energy consumption, and just as efficient. Yet we do not know how it really works, and how they cope with the multidialectal Chinese, and the multilingual China with Chinese (simplified or traditional), Tibetan, Uyghur and Mongolian, plus smaller isolated languages. The Chinese policy in the field is to encourage the revival of all local, isolated and autonomous cultures and languages. So, how do they do it?

Europe wants to assert itself, but they do not have an alternative. The only possible way to dig some trenches in the US-dominating stance seems to be Advanced Problematization suggested by Edmond Gerard Anna: working on the prompt and elaborating this prompt with primary research before writing it, so that instead of one sentence, you could submit one page’ with contradictory elements and the request to elaborate on differences, and why not choose one or two languages, besides or instead of English.

It is essential to avoid the US colonial approach of AI already implemented and spreading in the world. I can already hear the chant rising from the Global South: Viva La Butlerian Jihad!

Artificial Intelligence and the Multilingual World Q1: Between Technological Progress and Digital Colonization

https://medium.com/p/c428f2e65ff5?postPublishedType=initial

The rapid development of Artificial Intelligence has transformed the global technological landscape within only a few years. Large Language Models, automated translation systems, predictive algorithms, and generative AI are now becoming central to education, communication, administration, research, and economic production. Yet behind this technological acceleration lies a major question that remains insufficiently explored: can Artificial Intelligence genuinely function in a multilingual world without reinforcing new forms of linguistic domination?

This question becomes particularly urgent for the Global South, where linguistic diversity is not an exception but the normal condition of social life. Thousands of languages continue to exist across Asia, Africa, and Latin America, often within multilingual societies where several languages, dialects, and religious traditions coexist simultaneously. Modern AI systems, however, are largely concentrated on a very small number of dominant languages, supported by massive amounts of digital data. This imbalance raises the possibility that AI may unintentionally create a new form of digital hierarchy with thousands of minority languages reduced to translated extensions of the few dominant ones. The problem is not simply technological. It is also cultural, linguistic, philosophical, and civilizational.

After Jean Coulardeau (1942-2022) and his book, The Computer, The Ultimate Tower of Babel, Éditions La Galipote, 2006, Pope Leo XIV just required the slowing down of Artificial Intelligence to avoid a Tower-of-Babel syndrome, and to remain  human, in his encyclical letter, MAGNIFICA HUMANITAS
on safeguarding the human person in the time of artificial intelligence. Yes, indeed, our times are recurrently disquieting.

FROM META-TECHNOLOGICAL ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE

TO MULTILINGUAL PHYLOGENY

https://medium.com/p/c15e0c675719?postPublishedType=initial

The triad of circulation/displacement/transfer, voluntary/involuntary/forced. Cohabitation/coexistence/cooperation-or-collaboration against communitarianism and culturalism, thus existential linguistic identity.

The triad market/identity/or-and-multilingual vision confronted with AI, raises deep questions.

Statistical and probabilistic LLMs lead to the homogenization of each language in a pool of up to twelve languages ​​(monolingual LLMs of several trillion data points), producing a common, reduced, nuance-free dialect.

An LLM covers one single language. 7,488 languages ​​rejected by the technology. They must be translated by an AI and integrated into one of the 12 dominant languages, into the LLM of the target language. Differenticide, linguistic culturicide that produces a fantastical hybrid LLM.

How do the Chinese do? Four different languages: Mongolian, Uyghur, Tibetan, and Chinese, with ten regional dialects. Phylogenetically distinct languages: isolating and agglutinative. How do they manage to generalize AI from age six?

And in Europe? Three languages ​​can have an LLM: English, French, and Spanish. Germanic languages ​​should homogenize from Norwegian to Austrian. Slavic languages ​​, from Polish to Serbian, not counting Russian, the only Slavic language with its own LLM. Agglutinative languages: Hungarian, Georgian, Finnish, Estonian, Sami, Basque, and Turkish. And then the languages ​​of immigration.

Triad of domination/vulnerability/isolation. Triad of linguistic-insecurity/alienated-identity/social-cohesion. Look at Ukraine and Palestine. Bangladesh has six isolating, Dravidian, and Indo-Aryan languages, and three religious cultures: Hinduism, Buddhism, and Islam.

Do we largely construct ourselves through language? In linguistic phylogeny, yes. But language grows through communication between speakers of that language. Contact with others must remain marginal, to avoid the risk of creolization: linguistic insecurity/collapse/emergence, a dialectical relationship.

Hence, the importance of digital education. Digital technology is simply a coding technique. In all fields, digital technology dominates or serves users through regenerated/revitalized/transcended practices. What about the existential level? According to Bernard Marr, LinkedIn, March 23, 2026, "AI breaks down jobs into tasks, and that changes everything." This leads to a conclusion about the AI meta-technology, which disregards other communicational techniques, linguistic, musical, pictorial, gestural, and behavioral, except to imitate them. Does it merely make us believe that it guarantees unambiguous and error-free communication?

DE L’INTELLIGENCE ARTIFICIELLE MÉTA-TECHNOLOGIQUE

À LA PHYLOGÉNIE PLURILINGUE

La triade circulation/déplacement/transfert, volontaire/involontaire/forcée. Cohabitation/coexistence/coopération-ou-collaboration contre communautarisme et culturalisme, donc l’identité linguistique existentielle.

La triade vision marchande/identitaire/ou-et- plurilingue confrontée à l’IA, d’où de profonds questionnements.

Les LLMs statistiques et probabilistes mènent à l’homogénéisation de chaque langue d’un pool de douze langues maximum (LLMs unilingues de plusieurs trillions de données). D’où dialecte commun, réduit, sans nuances.

Une LLM est d’une seule langue. 7 488 langues rejetées par la technique. Elles doivent se traduire dans une des 12 langues dominantes, traduction par IA dans la LLM de la langue cible où elle devra s’intégrer. Différenticide, culturicide linguistique qui produit une LLM hybride fantasmatique.

Comment les Chinois font-ils ? Quatre langues différentes, Mongol, Ouighour, Tibétain, Chinois, lui-même avec dix dialectes régionaux. Langues phylogénétiquement différentes : isolantes et agglutinantes. Comment font-ils pour généraliser l’IA dès six ans ?

Et en Europe ? Trois langues peuvent avoir une LLM, anglais, français, espagnol. Le germanique devrait homogénéiser du norvégien à l’autrichien. Le slave du polonais au serbe, sans compter le russe, seule langue slave avec sa LLM. Les langues agglutinantes, hongrois, géorgien, finlandais, estonien, saami, basque et turc. Et les langues de l’immigration.

Triade domination/vulnérabilité/repli-sur-soi. Triade insécurité-linguistique/identité-aliénée/cohésion-sociale. Voyez l’Ukraine et la Palestine. Le Bangladesh a 6 langues isolantes, dravidiennes, et Indo-Aryennes, et 3 cultures religieuses, hindouisme/bouddhisme/islam.

Se construit-on très largement par la langue ? En phylogénie linguistique, oui. Mais la langue grandit par communication entre locuteurs de cette langue. Le contact avec d’autres doit rester marginal, risque de créolisation : insécurité-linguistique/collapse/émergence, relation dialectique.

D’où le numérique éducatif. Le numérique n’est qu’une technique de codage. Dans tous les domaines, le numérique domine ou sert les utilisateurs aux pratiques régénérées/revitalisées/transcendées. Que dire au niveau existentiel ? Selon Bernard Marr, LinkedIn, 23 mars 2026, « L'IA décompose les emplois en tâches, et cela change tout. »

Conclusion sur la méta-technologie IA qui ne considère pas les techniques communicationnelles, langagières, musicales, picturales, gestuelles, comportementales, sauf pour les imiter. Se contente-t-elle de nous faire croire, qu’elle garantit la communication univoque et sans erreur ?

HIDE THAT BREAST FROM ME, I CAN’T BEAR TO SEE IT!

https://medium.com/p/4b9007afd539?postPublishedType=initial

ENGLISH – But you are blind, my good man, not to see that this nourishing breast providing gratuitous and prefabricated discourse is Artificial Intelligence, Generative Artificial Intelligence at that, which is nothing more than the invention of some evanescent Silicon Valley. This is first and foremost an office of high-ranking CE, CT, or CF officers who force everyone's language and the thoughts of those left behind into the conforming and homogenizing mold of a well-tempered existence, even if the scale note B is artificial and without any physical justification. Jean-Philippe Rameau tempered it in his time, and the brilliant, slightly hazy disturbance of this key tonal note of the Western scale has become the archetype of what civilization claims to be: the single, unified temperament of all human tastes, feelings, passions, and follies. That's all there is to it. […]

FRANÇAIS – […] Alors, dorénavant, et pour toujours, les locuteurs européens d’origine des quelques langues dominantes du fait de leurs énormes Large Language Models bien emmaillotés dans trois couches de boxers absorbants ultra++, prétendent produire la langue propre et saine que l’on doit utiliser en toute occasion.

Les autres langues, qui n’ont pas la chance de jouer avec des milliards sinon des trillions de données, devront accepter d’être traduites dans une des langues majeures par des machines d’Intelligence Artificielle formées à la traduction dans une seule des langues dominantes. Garde à vous ! Fixe ! Repos ! Quand on n’a pas la LLM nécessaire, on peut toujours utiliser une alèse jetable que l’on trouve dans toutes les pharmacies linguistiques de la grammaire universelle inventée en anglais par des migrants divers installés aux USA et ne considérant vraiment que l’anglais comme langue première de départ. Merci, Chomsky. Et tous les Martins et les Duponts du monde vont couler toutes les langues dans cette seule matrice.

Joseph H. Greenberg, Brilliant and Bold Binarist

https://medium.com/p/b1074b69b831?postPublishedType=initial

He was a pioneer in his time with his multi-language comparative linguistics that led him to very fundamental assertions, such as all languages originated in Black Africa and from there moved to the whole world, explaining that all Black Africans who never left Africa and had had no procreative contact among their ancestors with people from the other continents do not have any Neanderthal or Denisovan DNA. They never met them.

But at the same time he defended an absolutely binary method to reflect on the universality of language. He reduced it to an “either-or” approach, which is naturally false since languages are fundamentally ternary, and communication too. Walking on two feet is maybe human and good, though it requires quite a good set of muscles to keep the perfect running equilibrium and momentum based on falling from one foot to the next, though each leg has a ternary tempo: raise-land-push.

 This silence, this silencing procedure that eradicates, erases what everything present and future is coming, emerging, being born from in the past. The past is the procreating mother or the impregnating father, whose loving contortions of them both will cast into the world their children, offering their genetic and memorial heirlooms to the tempests, storms, and hurricanes of tomorrow.
