Welcome to the webpage of the Laboratory for Endangered Languages Research and Documentation. Work is continuing at the lab on developing online talking dictionaries and archives of data that provide resources to communities whose languages are at stake. With state-of-the-art technology we're striving to support the continuing development and usage of languages in small communities.

Some of the talking dictionaries: Tuvan talking dictionary, Siletz talking dictionary, Matukar talking dictionary.
