Mission

Every passing day, languages across the world are becoming endangered due to several factors. In India alone, the perilous situation of languages spoken by lesser known tribal communities is alarming. Language endangerment is followed by language extinction. Once a language got extinct, the world view and the traditional knowledge system which are embedded in the language of the community too parishes. Saving and preserving through digital documentation and archiving of these endangered languages of the country is the mission of the SPPEL.
