Dear Narjeet,
Thank you too! Yes, recordings would be great. And I at Work World University and School could wiki-add also as an example of how teachers in all 22 official languages in India (and all other languages there) could wiki-add them on their own (& maybe I have already done so, regarding Jagjeet Sir's course if the recordings are, or could be, the same as the classroom link).
Thanks again for the course and your email especially
!
Best wishes,
Scott
I've added this course to the free, open, wiki Punjabi language page at WUaS -
https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Punjabi_language - as you'll see. I've also updated the /LANGUAGE_TEMPLATE at World Univ & Sch -
https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/LANGUAGE_TEMPLATE - and with this great class as an example, adding a new section right at the top for "Free Upcoming Classes" - which might get people checking World Univ & Sch pages more frequently than now, and for your GEG India classes in the future too. Perhaps people will begin to wiki-add their own free courses and classes soon! And as these WUaS wiki pages develop, and as information technology and coding-wise especially, this will add a calendar function too.
While India has 22 separate official languages , it is home to a total of 121 languages and 270 mother tongues. It's also home to the world's oldest language, Hindi.Oct 31, 2021

WUaS News and Q&A 3/28/22
Dear Universitian friends,
Greetings! The next WUaS News and Q&A is on Monday,
Am amazed and grateful for these online WEB World Univ & Sch resources, many interactive, and when, for example, you add a pic or video to Google Street View with time slider, you begin to teach or learn using artificial intelligence, I'd suggest:
Here is an wondrous growing CAMPUS for World Univ & Sch, and it's the whole earth virtually (and see below a picture I've added to the realistic virtual Harbin Hot Springs below, as ANTHROPOLOGY field site, and a HISTORY field site too, and for STEM, and avatar bot electronic medical records for all 7.9 billion people on planet, each a Wikidata Pin # :!) ~

HERE'S THE PICTURE OF THE HARBIN GATE HOUSE I ADDED SOME YEARS' AGO ... (in 2009 I think, and the picture is from 2001 ... and I'd like to facilitate all of us entering and visiting Harbin Hot Springs virtually - in an emerging realistic virtual Harbin - so we could both see it, and possibly do ethnographic research too, - in those years!) ~

Check out all these developing WUaS web resources, and begin to teach further or learn more, or in new ways, if you'd like! :)
Friendly regards, Scott

Dear All,
And as another aspect of this World Univ & Sch CAMPUS, the number of languages in the world, always in flux, as the scholars debate this, and the databases further code for this, just rose from 7,139 known living languages, to 7,151 -
Each language's place, a virtual campus in a sense?
When on Google Maps, Earth, Google Street View with a time slider, with TensorFlowAI, do all these people live, and speak? How can these virtual places where people speaking 7151 different languages become developing campuses (even with avatar bots of speakers / people who may have passed away ... like the Cromarty language in Scotland, where the last 2 brothers and speakers of this language may have passed away in the last decade)?
AND REGARDING THE TWO BROTHERS WHO SPOKE CROMARTY FLUENTLY, SEE THIS 2012 BLOG POST -

Cromarty fisherfolk dialect's last native speaker dies
Published 2 October 2012

Bobby Hogg was the last person to speak the Cromarty fisherfolk dialect fluently
The last native speaker of the Cromarty fisherfolk dialect has died.
Retired engineer Bobby Hogg, 92, was the last person who was still fluent in the dialect used in parts of the Black Isle, near Inverness.
His younger brother Gordon was also a native speaker. He died in April last year aged 86.
The dialect is believed to have arrived in the area with fishing families that moved north from the Firth of Forth in 15th and 16th centuries.

Listen to archive of Bobby Hogg and his brother Gordon
The families were thought to be the descendants of Norse and Dutch fishermen.
In 2009, researcher Janine Donald compiled a booklet of Cromarty dialect words and phrases for Highland Council's Am Baile project.
The initiative, which involved recording conversations between the Hogg brothers, was part of an effort to preserve the dialect.
The 40-page publication produced also has weather lore, biblical expressions and local tales and customs.
Included was the word "tumblers" for dolphins and harbour porpoises and phrases such as "At now kucka" for a friendly greeting.
Other words and phrases included bauchles which means old, ill-fitting shoes, droog-droogle for heavy work in wet weather and Jenny Muck, a female farm worker.
Earlier this year, Highland Council made a commitment to recognise and protect the region's languages and dialects.
