The endangered languages catalogue (ELCat)

The Endangered Languages Catalogue (ELCat) is a comprehensive database that focuses on languages at risk of disappearing. It collects and organizes information about these languages, including their number of speakers, geographical distribution, and the factors threatening their survival. ELCat aims to raise awareness of language endangerment and support efforts for documentation and revitalization. By providing accessible data, it helps researchers, policy-makers, and communities work together to preserve linguistic diversity and cultural heritage, highlighting the importance of every language in shaping human identity and knowledge.
