Subject: Help us fund the Online Tseltal Mayan Dictionary!

 
A crowdfunding campaign has been launched to fund a native-speaker-friendly
free-access online dictionary for Tseltal, an indigenous language of
southeastern Mexico. This project needs the support of many people to be
possible:

a

This dictionary will help strengthen this language, which is now in decline,
despite its large number of speakers. We need donations, however small, to
make it a reality.

On behalf of the Tseltal Documentation Center,
