20 Endangered Languages in 2020

You can read the first post I wrote about this challenge here, but basically, the gist is that in 2020, I’m going to learn the basics of 20 endangered languages and document my progress on this blog.

I’ve also built a resources spreadsheet (Google Sheets) that you can find here. If you have any resources you think I should add, please leave a comment or send me a message somewhere! I’m updating them as I start each language at the moment; if I get a free day, I might throw up everything I have so far.

Here’s a list of the languages I’ll be trying and links to the posts about them:
