7000 Languages
More than 7000 languages are spoken worldwide... and due to colonization and violence, nearly half of these languages are endangered. Each language itself is valuable. But language revival is also linked to happier, healthier kids, advances in science, and more resilient communities. When you help a community protect their language, you aren’t just protecting words – you’re protecting a cultural identity and the well-being of real people. We do it because everyone deserves the chance to teach, learn, and speak their ancestral language.
7000 Languages is a non-profit that helps Indigenous communities around the world teach, learn and sustain their languages through technology. We create free online language-learning courses in partnership with Indigenous, minority, and refugee communities so they can keep their languages alive.
7000 Languages is a 501(c)(3) public charity.
