You then find yourself having to "draw the line" - i.e. if you (as is my case) officially have only Spanish and not Portuguese in your language combination then you might rapidly hit a limit and develop a very subjective idea of "where Spanish ends and where Portuguese begins"
But our perception of these language variations and also of accents is always shaped by our background and there are strong cultural and geographic biases in Conference Interpreting. Our profession at the highest echelons suffers from a genuine lack of diversity!
Really excited about the 17 authors who entered the Indian #publicdomain in 2021! Authors from all across India feature in this list, so look out languages of India... you just got richer this year! #linguisticdiversity 
In India, the criteria for expiration of #copyright is 60 years since the death of the author, and that the work was published before their death. This year, books of authors who passed away in 1960 are coming into the public domain.
And here we go- some #Indianwriters featured in our #publicdomain post at the blog...
