Support ILI
We are at a critical point in human history where much of our cultural diversity is in danger of disappearing forever. This diversity, which has served as a driving force behind innovation, art, and creativity, is first and foremost characterized by the thousands of languages spoken in the world today. However, due to a wide range of social and political factors, most of these languages are losing speakers at an alarming rate, and many will no longer be spoken in ten years time.
ILI promotes grass-roots community initiatives which help put the power back in the hands of indigenous people to preserve, revitalize, and most importantly, use their languages on a daily basis in all aspects of life. Indigenous languages can only be saved by the people who speak them every day; ILI provides support, knowledge, and technological know-how to help in the struggle to make sure all indigenous languages will be heard long into the future.
