Global Observatory for Languages and Linguistic Diversity

The Global Observatory for Languages and Linguistic Diversity works to preserve, promote and transmit the world’s linguistic heritage as a vital expression of human dignity, cultural identity and social cohesion. It focuses on endangered languages, multilingualism, language policies, plurilingual education, Indigenous languages, scientific documentation, language technologies, digital inclusion and the intergenerational transmission of knowledge.

By bringing together linguistic research, institutional cooperation, community participation, digital innovation and policy support, the Observatory helps public institutions, universities, cultural organizations, linguistic communities and development actors protect linguistic pluralism. Its work makes languages and linguistic diversity essential levers for cultural justice, access to knowledge, intercultural dialogue, peace, collective memory and sustainable development.
