THE ENDANGERED ALPHABETS PROJECT
We’ve all heard about endangered species. But what about endangered languages? Tim Brookes researches languages on the brink of being completely forgotten, and he’s here to break ‘em down and store ‘em up with his Endangered Alphabets project. Brookes carves and paints near-extinct writing systems from Indonesia, Nigeria, and beyond into wood, and he’s planning a traveling exhibition to preserve these scripts and the fascinating cultures they embody.
The Endangered Alphabets Project needs invites for a Vermont a professor traveling the world to attempt to save endangered languages... Please help.

I have just returned from a meeting of our university International Development Group. We talked about a project we are developing which requires us to research access to low bandwidth internet, cell phones and landline telephones in Sub-Saharan Africa. I would like to get in touch with IPP colleagues to see whether they might be able to point us in the direction of appropriate source material. Thanks and best wishes, |
