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.

IPP Professors are the Project's academics in the field. They travel to developing-world universities to help further the project goals related to population, environment and security studies, but are also welcomed into the project from most academic disciplines. International Professors both teach and develop internationalized curricula at their chosen universities. They mentor about-to-be and fledgling professors at the local level, to help develop a well-trained corps of International Professors. Join our new IPP Professors Message Board!
