About OMO KIBISH Inc.

The idea of studying the interrelationships between the languages and cultures of the world was born out of a personal observation in interacting and working with friends and co-workers from different cultural backgrounds. This observation led to a groundbreaking article titled Parameterization of Ancient Civilizations Using Unique Identifiers, which was posted at www.i-lang.com on February 5, 2006. About one month later, in its March 2006 issue, the National Geographic Magazine published the results of its Genographic Project. The magazine called the report "The Greatest Journey Ever Told, The Trail of Our DNA." The story of the report is that Omo Kibish in the Omo Valley of Ethiopia is the source of humanity that has today dispersed to various corners of the world. The report made the observation of the interrelationships between languages and cultures even more interesting, and OMO KIBISH became a symbolic name of this study replacing i-lang, which was meant to stand for international languages. The interest has now grown beyond the study of the interrelationships between the languages and cultures of the world to the study of the origin of languages. We hope that a close study with the help of mathematical analysis will help the quest to understand humanity’s common past better. Surely, this is an ambitious undertaking, but we have confidence that with the active participation of bi-lingual scholars, a meaningful mapping of the world’s languages is achievable because we feel that we have a grasp on the source.
