About

7000 Languages is a non-profit organization established in 2016, headquartered in New Hampshire. The organization focuses on empowering communities worldwide to teach, learn, and sustain endangered languages, particularly among Indigenous communities in the United States and Canada. The mission of 7000 Languages is to support these communities in revitalizing their languages through technology. They create free language-learning software in collaboration with Indigenous partners, developing courses in nearly 50 endangered languages. Their approach emphasizes cultural relevance by incorporating local practices and knowledge into the learning materials. The organization also utilizes technology tools donated by partners like Transparent Language to enhance their language documentation and curriculum development efforts. 7000 Languages actively collaborates with community partners and offers various job and volunteer opportunities for individuals interested in contributing to language revitalization.
