Living Tongues Institute for Endangered Languages
The Living Tongues Institute for Endangered Languages (LTIEL) is an organization based in Salem, Oregon, United States that scientifically documents endangered languages, and assists communities with maintaining and revitalizing knowledge of their native languages. The institute is led by two linguists, Dr. Gregory D. S. Anderson and Dr. K. David Harrison.[1][2][3]
One of the institute's projects involves training indigenous youth who are not native speakers of their communities' traditional languages to record and document their elders' languages, in order to improve documentation of those languages and to "build pride" among speakers.[4]
