All human languages are tools of creativity and webs of knowledge. Every two weeks, the last fluent speaker of an endangered language passes on. In this critical time, we are working to document and maintain these languages so that future generations may speak them.Living Tongues Institute for Endangered Languages has many ongoing documentation projects currently taking place around the world. We need your help to sustain these projects. Our mission is to record vanishing languages as well as create state-of-the-art digital audio-visual materials in collaboration with speakers of endangered language.
In buying one of our products, all funds will go directly to helping linguists and language activists document, conserve and maintain an endangered language. You are also helping future generations gain access to printed materials or online resources produced in their own language.
All of our products are made with environmentally friendly materials, such as canvas and cotton, and all of our screen-printing is done by hand using water-based inks. The products are all available for sale via our Living Tongues Etsy Site. Thanks for your support and we hope you enjoy these items!
