M +, Maya, mother tongues ....


My little trip to Belize me very well ;-) On the subject of "migrant support migrants" I've learned: Sometimes, to help immigrants who are new in the country, these migrants, the almost 'locals are. In Belize, for example, the Mennonites supply the entire country with rice, meat and dairy products. They had come only a few decades and make up barely 5 percent of the population. In addition to the indigenous Mayan population lives in Belize migrants from many different countries. The Mennonites have their "colonies" with pasture and arable land in the middle of the tropical rain forest maintain their own schools and administrations, and live with multilingual Plautdietsch, English, German and English - most of them can also regional Creole.

The photo shows an old Mayan temple in Lamanai, close to the Mennonite colony Blue Creek . The photo was on 21 Made in February 2008, on NATO Nalen International Mother Language Day, shortly before I've climbed all the steps ...
