The Language Conservancy
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Language Conservancy is a nonprofit organization that provides language revitalization support to the world's endangered languages, restoring them to health and stability, and safeguarding them for future generations. It supports several ongoing language restoration efforts through its affiliate organizations, and includes the Lakota language and the Hidatsa language. The Language Conservancy raises funds for and revitalizes these languages.
[edit] Native American language crisis
The Language Conservancy is currently focused largely on indigenous languages in the United States, where only a dozen or so of the original 400-500 have a chance of surviving beyond the next thirty years. Government aid to this problem has been severely limited and the few grant-proving foundations are over-burdened.
