Languages are entities that are alive and in constant flux, and their extinction is not new; however, the pace at which languages are disappearing today has no precedent and is alarming. Over 40 percent of the world’s approximately 7,000 languages are at risk of disappearing.

The Endangered Languages Project (www.endangeredlanguages.com) puts technology at the service of the organizations and individuals working to confront language endangerment with resources to document, preserve and teach them. Through this website, users can not only access the most up-to-date and comprehensive information and resources on endangered languages, but also play an active role in putting their languages online by submitting information in the form of text, audio or video files.

This presentation will explore the status of endangered languages on a global scale and look at ways of using and contributing to the Endangered Languages Project website.
