Title | New Endangered Languages Project Website |
Body | The Endangered Languages Project is an online resource to record, access, and share samples of and research on endangered languages, as well as to share advice and best practices for those working to document or strengthen languages under threat. Google oversaw the development and launch of this project, but the long term goal is for it to be led by true experts in the field of language preservation. As such, oversight of the project will soon transition to First Peoples' Cultural Council and The Institute for Language Information and Technology (The Linguist List) at Eastern Michigan University in coordination with the Advisory Committee. Explore the new website at http://www.endangeredlanguages.com The languages included in this project and the information displayed about them are provided by the Catalogue of Endangered Languages (ELCat), produced by the University of Hawai'i at Manoa and The Institute for Language Information and Technology (The Linguist List) at Eastern Michigan University. For more information about ELCat, go to http://linguistlist.org/issues/23/23-2792.html The launch of new website has generated a flurry of media attention to endangered languages, language documentation, and language revitalization. Here are some of the many news reports and press releases: http://edition.cnn.com/2012/06/21/tech/web/google-fights-save-language-mashable http://www.ibtimes.com/articles/355046/20120621/google-endangered-languages-project-speech-culture-video.htm http://arstechnica.com/science/2012/06/google-launches-endangered-language-project http://techland.time.com/2012/06/22/google-joins-fight-to-save-nearly-3000-endangered-languages/#ixzz1yd8bOp1R http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2012/06/endangered-languages-project-supporting.html http://manoa.hawaii.edu/news/article.php?aId=5162 http://news.tangatawhenua.com/archives/18282 http://www.timescolonist.com/life/Island+takes+centre+stage+battle+save+languages/6824099/story.html#ixzz1yX286qic http://www.cbc.ca/news/technology/story/2012/06/22/tech-google-endangered-languages.html http://news.nationalpost.com/2012/06/21/google-sets-out-to-save-the-dying-languages-of-the-world http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/national/google-cataloging-endangered-languages/article4358882 http://www.vancouversun.com/life/first+nations+preserve+dying+languages+with+Google+help/6818639/story.html#ixzz1yRQbV5fN |
