ELDP (Endangered Languages Documentation Project)

The Endangered Languages Documentation Project (ELDP) is an initiative aimed at preserving endangered languages around the world. Many languages are at risk of disappearing as their speakers age or shift to more dominant languages. The ELDP supports researchers in recording and documenting these languages through audio, video, and written materials. This documentation helps ensure that the linguistic and cultural heritage of these communities is preserved for future generations, aiding in language revitalization efforts and contributing to a greater understanding of human languages and cultures.
