## Description

Living Dictionaries is a pioneering initiative aimed at preserving endangered, under-represented, and diasporic languages through mobile-friendly web tools. Established in 2006 by linguists Gregory D. S. Anderson and K. David Harrison, the platform was designed to be a collaborative multimedia project led by community activists worldwide. The updated Living Dictionaries platform offers a rich set of features, including real-time entry management, audio recording and playback, offline data access, and customizable privacy settings.

The Living Tongues Institute for Endangered Languages, based in Salem, Oregon, supports this initiative by providing research expertise and resources necessary for communities to document and promote their languages. This non-profit organization emphasizes the cultural significance of languages, highlighted by their connection to ancestral wisdom and local identities. By encouraging the documentation of languages, Living Dictionaries not only contribute to cultural preservation but also foster educational opportunities that uplift community well-being. Join their mission to empower linguistic diversity and ensure that future generations can access this invaluable heritage.
