This is a National Geographic project, in collaboration with Living Tongues, which seeks to document the world’s disappering languages.
The site provides overviews of the world’s hotspots for endangered languages, a list of projects showcasing revitalization efforts, and a description of the Enduring Voices project, which, wille team will send teams to “meet with last speakers, listen to their stories, and document their languages with film, pictures, and audio to help communities preserve their knowledge of species, landscapes, and traditions before they vanish.”
One of the goals of this project is to help empower local communities by using appropriate learning technologies, such as written materials, video, photographs, computers with language software, and where possible, the Internet.
