About Us

Mission

The Endangered Alphabets Project is a federal 501c3 nonprofit based in Vermont. Its mission is to preserve and revitalize endangered cultures by researching, cataloging, and promoting their indigenous writing systems, and using them to create educational materials, games, and artwork.

Vision

We envision a world in which all cultures are able to use their own written and spoken languages, as outlined in Article 13 of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples: “Indigenous peoples have the right to revitalize, use, develop and transmit to future generations their histories, languages, oral traditions, philosophies, writing systems and literatures, and to designate and retain their own names for communities, places and persons.”
