Endangered Languages Documentation Programme

The Endangered Languages Documentation Programme is an initiative focused on recording, preserving, and revitalizing languages that are at risk of disappearing. Many languages have few speakers left, and as they fade, unique cultures and knowledge are often lost. This program involves researchers working with native speakers to document these languages through audio recordings, written materials, and digital resources. The goal is to provide tools and resources for communities to maintain their languages and encourage new speakers, thus helping to protect linguistic diversity for future generations.
