Soccer balls and T-shirts and prep-work, Oh My!

Now that we are finished with our prep work we can all relax and play soccer. No, just kidding! Our team is working hard to prepare in these final weeks. The soccer balls and T-shirts are among the various items that we are donating to a school in Chugchillan as a thank you to our contact, Manuel, for all of his help and information he has provided us. We are also bringing red bandannas, beads, and American foods as gifts and material remunerations for our guides and translators.

About This Project

It is estimated that within the next 100 years, over 90% of the world's languages will become extinct due to events such as contact with prestige languages. Salasaca Kichwa, a Northern Highlands dialect of Ecuadorian Quechua, is currently labeled as endangered by several leading linguistic organizations. Our goal is to support the preservation Salasaca Kichwa through the documentation of linguistic material, and suggest a new means by which endangered languages can be saved from extinction.
