<DIV>I have often wished that it would make it easier for indigenous languages
to be use orally on Facebook. There are many speakers of indigenous languages,
including in the Americas, whose primary use of their language is oral rather
than literate. Facebook does not permit mp3 files to be posted. It would help
oral communication on Facebook if they could be. Of course, it would help most
if there were some easy method of chatting orally in indigenous languages on
Facebook. Maybe there already is, but I have often checked and the closest thing
I have found is video chat. And video chat takes a lot of bandwidth. I don't
think there is group video chat yet on Facebook.</DIV>
