Title: International Workshop on Spoken Languages Technologies for Under-resourced Languages
Body: This International Workshop on Spoken Languages Technologies for Under-resourced languages (SLTU) will be held at Hanoi University of Technology, Hanoi, Vietnam, May 5 -May 7, 2008. The SLTU meeting is a technical conference focused on spoken language processing for under-resourced languages. This first workshop will focus on Asian languages, and the idea is to mainly (but not exclusively) target languages of the area (Vietnamese, Khmer, Lao, Chinese dialects, Thai, etc.). However, all contributions on other under-resourced languages of the world are warmly welcomed. The workshop aims at gathering researchers working on: * ASR, synthesis and speech translation for under-resourced languages * portability issues * fast resources acquisition (speech, text, lexicons, parallel corpora) * spoken language processing for languages with rich morphology * spoken language processing for languages without separators * spoken language processing for languages without writing system Grants will be given to students and young scientists, by ISCA to attend this workshop. To find out how to apply, see http://www.isca-speech.org/grants.html . Visit the workshop website at http://www.mica.edu.vn/sltu .

Body: From http://www2.nau.edu/~jar/SIL9brochure.html 15th Annual Stabilizing Indigenous Languages Symposium Language is Life: Strategies for Language Revitalization High Country Conference Center, Northern Arizona University Flagstaff, Arizona, May 2 & 3, 2008 For the past fifteen years the Stabilizing Indigenous Languages Symposiums have been disseminating information about effective practices to teach and learn Indigenous languages. Held across the United States and Canada, these symposiums have brought together community language activists, language teachers and linguists to share and disseminate ways to revitalize our precious Indigenous linguistic heritage so that it will not be lost to our children. The Fifteenth Symposium is proud to announce three distinguished keynote speakers: Dr. Christine Sims (Acoma) teaches at the University of New Mexico and has worked for the last quarter century with tribes in areas of language planning, language teacher training and language revitalization. She co-chairs the Indigenous Special Interest Group for the National Association for Bilingual Education as well as the New Mexico Bilingual Advisory Committee.

Founded in l987, the Institute's mission is to research, promote and preserve the South Piegan (Blackfoot) Language. He designed the Cuts Wood School immersion program. This privately funded school is one of the exemplary models of tribal language revitalization. He has worked with indigenous communities in New Zealand, Hawai'i and the Balkans and with over one hundred American Indian tribes. He is a noted historian and filmmaker and belongs to the two oldest Blackfoot societies: Okan Medicine Lodge and Medicine Pipe. Dr. Peggy Speas is a Professor of Linguistics at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. She is a founding member of the Navajo Language Academy, which promotes scholarship on the Navajo language and supports Navajos in their efforts to keep their language alive and strong. She is the co-author (with Dr. Evangeline Parsons Yazzie, SILS 15 Symposium Co-Chair) of Diné Bizaad Bínáhoo'aah (Rediscovering the Navajo Language) For more information about the symposium, visit http://www2.nau.edu/~jar/SIL9brochure.html .

Title: Endangered Language Fund
Body: From http://www.endangeredlanguagefund.org/request.html The Endangered Language Fund provides grants for language maintenance and linguistic field work. The work most likely to be funded is that which serves both the native community and the field of linguistics. Work which has immediate applicability to one group and more distant application to the other will also be considered. Publishing subventions are a low priority, although they will be considered. Proposals can originate in any country. The language involved must be in danger of disappearing within a generation or two. Endangerment is a continuum, and the location on the continuum is one factor in our funding decisions. Eligible expenses include consultant fees, tapes, films, travel, etc. Overhead is not allowed. Grants are normally for a one year period, though extensions may be applied for. We expect grants in this round to be less than $4,000 in size, and to average about $2,000. Applications must be received by APRIL 21st, 2008. Decisions will be delivered by the end of May, 2008. For more information and application information, go to http://www.endangeredlanguagefund.org/request.html .
