FW: project: Endangered Languages of Indigenous Peoples of Siberia

[Johanna Laakso]

Dear All,

FYI: an interesting information and project portal ­ of Uralic languages, so
far only some Selkup projects are mentioned.

Best

Endangered Languages of Indigenous Peoples of Siberia [pdf]
http://lingsib.unesco.ru/en/index-1.htm
At least 30 languages of the Siberian region are considered endangered, and
UNESCO is hoping to preserve, anchor, and develop them. The "Roundtable"
link in the menu near the top of the page, allows visitors to read a few
sentences by the contributors to the roundtable, on three thematic blocks.
Visitors can click on "text" at the end of the paragraph to read the whole
discussion, and view a picture of the contributor. "Thematic Block II" is
particularly interesting, and concerns the "Experience and problems of
teaching endangered languages in universities in Russia", and offers such
contributor discussions as "Languages of numerically small peoples of the
North, Siberia, and the Far East in the dynamics of linguistic education
environment change". The "Instruments" link gives visitors a glimpse into
what a linguist in the field might find useful to do their work. The
sections of instruments include "software", "fonts (UNICODE)" and "voice
recording". In the "software" section, there are "electronic dictionaries",
"programs for managing keyboard layout" and "programs for input and
manipulation of linguistic data". [KMG]
