My husband’s latest alumni bulletin had a lot of great articles. One was about a new effort to save endangered languages, starting with Zapotec, an indigenous Mexican language.
If you go to this website and click the buttons, you can see and hear the effort that has gone into recording the ways that Zapotec words are pronounced. It’s the “Tlacolula Valley Zapotec online talking dictionary.”
The initiative has received support from the National Geographic and the Living Tongues Institute for Endangered Languages.

This is really wonderful–will share it. Thank YOU for sharing it first ❤
I was hoping you would see it. The article in the Haverford magazine had more information that I wanted to share, but I couldn’t copy and paste given their format.
I’ll check out the full article–I was enthralled by the Living Tongues Institute and the notion of talking dictionaries
I hope others try creating talking dictionaries. It needs to catch on.
