Our Mission:
Empower.
The Language Documentation Training Center of the Department of Linguistics at the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa aims to train community members of underdocumented languages in the skills of language documentation, while spreading awareness about linguistic diversity and language endangerment.
Our Goals
We equip native speakers with basic skills in linguistics, to offer them a public outlet for sharing information about their languages, and to inspire them to become language advocates in their own communities.
