Aims

The aims of the Foundation are:
  • to raise awareness of endangered languages, both inside and outside the communities where they are spoken, through all channels and media;
  • to support the use of endangered languages in all contexts: at home, in education, in the media, and in social, cultural and economic life;
  • to monitor linguistic policies and practices, and to seek to influence the appropriate authorities where necessary;
  • to support the documentation of endangered languages, by offering financial assistance, training, or facilities for the publication of results;
  • to collect together and make available information of use in the preservation of endangered languages; to disseminate information on all of the above activities as widely as possible.
