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.
