About Me

Native Languages of the Americas: Welcome to our blog! Native Languages of the Americas is a small non-profit organization dedicated to preserving and promoting indigenous languages of the Americas, particularly through the use of Internet technology. We make small grants to Native language preservation projects, and we create Internet and classroom resources to support language learning programs. Let us know how we can help your community's language projects today!

We are using this blog for a question and answer forum to publicly respond to selected questions that have been submitted to us. Although we have speakers and learners of more than 40 different Native American languages in our organization, we do not know everything and we welcome additions and corrections.
