About Us
Many languages and dialects still spoken in Iran have no certain status and could become extinct. These languages must be preserved before it is too late. The main problem is that these languages and their endangerment status have not been sufficiently studied. There is little or no information available about which languages are actually endangered and to what extent. The first important step is to identify and locate these languages.
The purpose of International Symposium on Endangered Iranian Languages (ISEIL) is to provide an opportunity for scholars coming from different disciplinary backgrounds to discuss the challenges, problems and new developments regarding documenting and encourage fieldwork on these languages and dialects. ISEIL aims also to develop an Atlas of endangered Iranian languages.
