Rosetta Project

The Rosetta Project is an international effort to preserve and share human languages by creating a digital archive of thousands of languages, including many that are endangered or less commonly spoken. Named after the Rosetta Stone, which helped decode Egyptian hieroglyphs, the project aims to document linguistic diversity, prevent language loss, and foster understanding across cultures. It combines traditional fieldwork with modern digital storage, ensuring that future generations can study and access these languages, supporting cultural heritage and linguistic research worldwide.
