DOBES Initiative

The DOBES Initiative (Documentation of Endangered Languages) is a project dedicated to recording and preserving languages at risk of disappearing. It involves collecting audio, video, and written materials to capture speakers' vocabularies, stories, and cultural knowledge. By doing so, the initiative helps maintain linguistic diversity, supports language revitalization efforts, and provides valuable resources for researchers and communities. Ultimately, DOBES aims to ensure that these languages remain accessible and recognizable for future generations, safeguarding cultural heritage through careful documentation.
