Digital collections on linguistic diversity
The digital collections on linguistic diversity have been part of the world document heritage since October 2015 . Audio - visual and written evidence of 102 languages and cultures are recorded in 64 collections of language documentation and science , including many endangered ones .
The documents gathered around the world over a period of ten years include myths and legends , orally transmitted knowledge , but also personal stories . The collections were created by the linguistic research archive of the Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics (location Nijmegen in the Netherlands ). The archive is financed by the Max Planck Society , the Royal Netherlands Academy of Sciences and the Berlin-Brandenburg Academy of Sciences .
The results of the documentation of threatened languages , a research project on threatened languages (e.g. the work of Achim Schumacher, Nathalie Böcker and Francisca Condori Mollo on the Chipaya language ), are also part of the World Heritage. This documentation was funded by the Volkswagen Foundation.
The collections have been digitally archived and are freely accessible on the Internet.
