Our Endangered Languages Campaign

Did you know that a language disappears every two weeks? With each loss, we lose unique knowledge, culture, and identity. That’s why we’ve launched 500 Languages Online by 2030.

This is a global campaign to digitise, promote, and teach 500 endangered and under-resourced languages before the end of the decade. Whether you're a learner, teacher, speaker, or simply curious, this movement is for you.

What if you could learn a language spoken by only a few people—one that embodies centuries of culture, knowledge, and memory, yet is nowhere to be found online?

That’s the question behind 500 Languages Online by 2030. This bold campaign aims to bring the world’s most endangered and under-resourced languages into the digital age.

Turn your phone into a mini immersion zone! Switch your device settings to your target language, follow native speakers on social media, and narrate your daily routine out loud as if you’re vlogging in that language. It’s a fun, low-pressure way to surround yourself with the language every day—without booking a flight!

In the Peruvian Amazon, the Shipibo-Conibo language isn’t just spoken. It’s sung, woven, and painted. Its sounds are mirrored in the intricate geometric designs found on traditional textiles, each pattern telling a story or reflecting a song passed down through generations.

As the language becomes endangered, these artistic traditions also risk fading. Saving Shipibo-Conibo means protecting a language where speech, song, and art are all part of the same living, breathing culture.
