The Institute on Collaborative Language Research
CoLang is an opportunity for community language activists, linguists, and students of linguistics to receive training in skills needed to document, maintain, and/or revitalize minority languages. CoLang started in 2008 (as InField - the Institute on Field Linguistics and Language Documentation), and has been held every other year since.
The next CoLang will be held in 2018 at the University of Florida at Gainesville.
