A fellow "language geek"

I wrote kayĆ¢s (long ago) that I would mention sites here from time to time that appear to share the same goal of promoting indigenous languages. Something of a nerdy Nehiyaw myself, I can empathize with the name of the website Language Geek (run by Christopher Harvey).

I have come it across numerous times in my google searches, and as a link from other sites. In its own words: "This site is dedicated to the promotion of Native North American languages, especially in providing a means by which these can be used on the internet."

Harvey currently works for the Santa Fe, New Mexico-based Indigenous Languages Institute, which "facilitates innovative, successful community-based initiatives for language revitalization through collaboration with other appropriate groups and organizations, and promotes public awareness of this crisis." Its links page looks promising too.

Now you know.
