CALL FOR PAPERS – CILLA XI
Center for Indigenous Languages of Latin America, The University of Texas

at Austin

The eleventh CONFERENCE ON INDIGENOUS LANGUAGES OF LATIN AMERICA will be held online on October 15-17, 2026, by the University of Texas at Austin. This year, the conference is dedicated to celebrating the 25th anniversary of the launch of AILLA, the Archive of the Indigenous Languages of Latin America.

We invite the submission of abstracts on research about any aspect of Latin American Indigenous languages. In honor of AILLA’s 25th anniversary, we are particularly interested in abstracts that focus on the collaborative efforts to archive the results of language documentation and related activities (such as (re-)vitalization, teaching, and advocacy), as well as interesting and meaningful ways that archived materials have been (re-)circulated, resocialized, and used within their originating communities. Topics may include, but are not limited to:

Grammar Typology

Linguistic Anthropology Sociolinguistics

Language Planning Language Politics

Linguistic Theory Historical Linguistics

Language Vitality Discourse

Indigenous Literatures Cooperation with the Community


Spanish is encouraged for presentations; English and Portuguese are also acceptable.
