Leading the revitalization of endangered Native languages by educating the public and by providing critical support to tribal language programs.Protecting Languages. Preserving Culture.We are dedicated to rescuing the world's endangered languages, restoring them to vital use, and safeguarding them for future generations. The Language Conservancy helps prevent the extinction of languages by 1) raising funds for research, 2) increasing the international public awareness of the social and personal consequences of indigenous language loss, and 3) providing technical support to organizations and communities engaged in revitalizing their languages. The Language Conservancy was founded in 2005 to be a global vehicle of language revitalization expertise, as an offshoot of the Lakota Language Consortium, a grassroots, community-driven non-profit implementing a unified plan for the revitalization of the Lakota language. The merit of the Lakota plan quickly gained the attention of other indigenous language advocates in the US and internationally, who sought the same kind of planning and support for their languages. The expertise of the Lakota Language Consortium, which is now the national leader in community-driven Native American language rescue, is fully available to indigenous language communities working with the Language Conservancy.
