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, and Cooperation with Community.
Spanish is encouraged for presentations; English and Portuguese are
also acceptable.
CILLA XI Keynote Speakers:
 - Lyle Cambell, University of Hawai'i, Emeritus
 - Hilaria Cruz, University of Louisville
 - Robin M. Wright, University of Florida Gainesville, Emeritus
Presenters are allowed 20 minutes for presentation and 10 minutes for
discussion. Papers will be selected based on the evaluation of an
anonymous abstract, which may not exceed 500 words (excluding
references). We cannot accept more than one paper as principal author.

Deadline for receipt of abstracts is April 15, 2026. Please send your
