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.

| President Vang Honored |
In July, Hanoi University of Foreign Studies President Vang and HUFS were honored by receiving the noble award, the Order of Independence from the President of Vietnam for outstanding achievement. Only the Order of Ho Chi Minh medal is a greater honor. HUFS' International Relations Department is rapidly developing, and a new IT Department is now established, through which all courses will be taught in English. Details of English learning via IT will be sent to IPP as the program progresses.
