Why give to Living Tongues Institute?
We are dedicated to our work, and we are playing an important part in endangered language research and raising awareness about linguistic diversity. Since 2005, we have contributed to the creation, publication and curation of hundreds of Living Dictionaries in support of under-represented and endangered languages.

Some of the Living Tongues researchers around the globe! This team meeting brought together linguists and anthropologists based in the US, India, Mexico, Nigeria, Ukraine and South Africa.

Every year, we hold virtual and in-person workshops, during which we empower endangered language speakers with valuable digital skills that allow them to launch their own Living Dictionaries and maintain as well as expand them over time. We publish scientific articles and books about our research findings and speak at conferences around the world.

We contributed a chapter to the The Handbook of Linguistics Human Rights, available through Wiley Blackwell.

We rely solely on the generosity of donors and grants to fund our field expeditions, publications, multimedia projects and assistance to indigenous communities struggling for cultural and linguistic survival. Your 100% tax deductible contribution can help us preserve valuable knowledge for future generations.
