I think of the 12 main links ... Languages, Countries, Applications to WUaS ... Music School ... Research ... in the table on this page as a kind of HOBBIT HOLE from JRR Tolkien's "The Hobbit"...

at the new interlingual (MIT OCW-centric) WUaS ... interlingual/worlduniversityandschool.html ...

(... and hope to make it look more like a hobbit hole artistically eventually).

  "Gandalf in the meantime was still standing outside the door, and laughing long but quietly.  After a while he stepped up, and with the spike on his staff scratched a queer sign on the hobbit's beautiful green front-door.  Then he strode away, just about the time when Bilbo was finishing his second cake and beginning to think that he had escaped adventures very well" (Tolkien's "The Hobbit" 6-7).

The portal is made, ... and
Gandalf has scratched a rune there;
Enter the world of
Multi-faceted linguistic wonders, and
Vis-a-vis knowledge generation,
and even STEM-centricity ...

What's extraordinary about this possible journey is, for example, the possibility of a WUaS universal translator -

http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/WUaS_Universal_Translator -

which will include human invented languages, such as the Elvish language, called Sindarin, created by Tolkien, for example, in addition to the 7,105 languages listed in the "The Ethnologue"...

and because WUaS is wiki.

We'll be able to integrate Elvish into this Universal Translator, building on Google Translate, for example, and on smartphones ...

Here are some Elvish language, or Sindarin language, resources:
