 Brief Summary

The Documenting Endangered Languages (DEL) program is a partnership between
the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) and the National Science
Foundation (NSF) to develop and advance knowledge concerning endangered
human languages. Made urgent by the imminent death of an estimated half of
the 6000-7000 currently used languages, this effort aims also to exploit
advances in information technology. Awards support fieldwork and other
activities relevant to recording, documenting, and archiving endangered
languages, including the preparation of lexicons, grammars, text samples,
and databases. DEL funding is available in the form of one- to three-year
project grants as well as fellowships for six to twelve months. At least
half the available funding will be awarded to projects involving fieldwork.
