Hi all,

I really hope we can keep this conversation going. Like Domenico, I'm not an expert, but trying to learn as much as I can. Here's something of interest. Today and tomorrow there is a workshop, ComputEL on "The use of computational methods in the study of endangered languages" as part of the 52nd Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics. I thought you might find the schedule interesting. 

Best,
A.

I think the idea of a working group is very interesting, although
personally I would try to connect to existing activities and
initiatives. For example the Maaya network for linguistic diversity
(http://maayajo.org), or the wonderful terralingua.org project.

I'm not an expert of endangered languages, but this semester I was
co-teaching a course module on biocultural diversity with biologist
and environmentalist Marcello Buiatti. You can find our syllabus here:

Buiatti, among other things, is author with Vandana Shiva and others
of the "law of the seed":

Please feel free to contact me if you want to know more! I can send
the slides of my course and other materials.

Ciao!

Domenico
