Sociolinguistics of Language Endangerment 6
Sponsored by the Comité International Permanent des Linguistes

Convened at the Research Institute of Languages and Cultures of Asia,

Workshop Theme: Mapping Endangered Languages
There have been various attempted inventories of the endangered languages of
the world, some stand-alone and others embedded in overall surveys. The aim of
this workshop is to bring the leaders in all the main projects together and
work out a co-operative way forward. CIPL has been one of the leaders in this
process since 1991, and through UNESCO produced the Atlas of Languages in
Danger, 1st and 2nd editions among many other atlases. The Ethnologue has been
the largest and longest-running atlas of all the world’s languages, with 22
editions since 1951 and another to be released 21 February 2020. The Catalogue
of Endangered Languages, based at the University of Hawaii, is a web-based
listing. The Russian UNESCO Committee is co-ordinating an atlas of
communication covering the entire world. The Foundation for Endangered
Languages has been deeply involved since 1996 and was responsible for the 3rd
edition of the UNESCO Atlas of Languages in Danger; its editor, Christopher
Moseley, also edited three edition of the Routledge Atlas of the World’s
Languages among other related things. Suwilai Premsrirat has long led a team
at Mahidol University both documenting endangered languages around Thailand
and helping communities to maintain them.

Invited presentations are to be given by (in alphabetical order) David Bradley
(CIPL), Dave Eberhard & Gary Simons (Ethnologue), Gary Holton (ELCat project),
Evgeny Kuzmin (Russian UNESCO committee) and Christopher Moseley (FEL and
UNESCO atlas project).
