January 2008: Xllth conference of the foundation for Endangered Languages
In 2008 the Foundation for Endangered Languages (FEL) will organise its Twelfth Conference in the Netherlands, in association with the Mercator European Research Centre on Multilingualism and Language Learning and the Fryske Akademy. The theme of the conference will be Endangered Languages and Language Learning. The conference will be organised and sponsored in the framework of the jubilee program KNAW 200, the bicentenary celebration of the foundation of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences in 1808.
The FEL exists to support, enable and assist the documentation, protection and promotion of endangered languages. One of the possibilities to reach this is to bring specialists together during conferences, which have been held every year since 1996, most recently in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia (2007), Mysore, India (2006), Stellenbosch, South Africa (2005) and Barcelona, Spain.
