We are pleased to announce the release of a new multimedia collection of
materials on the Endangered Languages and Cultures of Siberia. The collection
was created as part of the projects funded by ELDP (2003-2006, Major
Documentation Grant awarded to Tapani Salminen), a British Academy Small
Research Grant (2011-2012, project number 9480 BX51), a Leverhulme Trust
Research Fellowship (2012-2014, project number RF-2012-131), a SOAS Faculty of
Languages and Cultures Strategy Fund award (2014) awarded to Irina Nikolaeva,
a grant from the Academy of Finland awarded to Larisa Leisiö (2009-2012,
project number 125225), and an AHRC-funded project ‘Prominent Possessors’
awarded to Irina Nikolaeva (PI), Oliver Bond and Greville G. Corbett
(2015-2019, project reference AH/M010708/1).

It is hosted by the Surrey Morphology Group at the University of Surrey
(www.smg.surrey.ac.uk).

Endangered Languages and Cultures of Siberia
www.siberianlanguages.surrey.ac.uk

This resource is a multimedia collection of linguistic and cultural
information, which consists of a corpus of original audio and video texts in
several minority languages of Siberia. The texts are accompanied by
transcriptions, translations and analyses, as well as general information
about the language, references, dictionaries, and images, all linked to
present a flexible and interactive exploration space for a variety of users
and to document a wide range of phenomena. The aim is to provide people from
various backgrounds (linguists, anthropologists, speakers, language planners
and the general public) with a database that can serve a variety of purposes.

At present, the site hosts the data from seven languages: Even, Forest Enets,
Kolyma Yukaghir, Northern Khanty, Tundra Nenets, Tundra Yukaghir and Udihe. 

The audio and video recordings on the site were collected during fieldwork in
Siberia by a team of language specialists, whose participation is gratefully
acknowledged.
