Meeting Description:

The aim of the workshop is to provide a space for the development of
dialogue between dialectologists, language community activists, and others
working on the development of orthographies regarding the issues that
arise during the creation of writing systems in places where there is dialect
variation and there is no writing system, or there is a writing system for a
national language but not for the particular language. Presentations will be
20 minutes in length, followed by a 10-minute discussion period. Please
note that there could also be sessions for poster presentations depending
on participants' interest.
