With support from the National Science Foundation, Dr. Alan Yu will undertake a three-year comprehensive multimedia documentation of Washo, one of the most critically endangered and least documented of Native American languages. The Washo language, which belongs to the Hokan family, is currently spoken by about 13-20 elderly speakers who live in several townships near the California-Nevada border southeast of Lake Tahoe. A full documentation of Washo as it is spoken today will be undertaken. The main objective during the proposed tenure of this project is a detailed study of the phonetics and phonology of the Washo language since a solid understanding of the phonetics and phonology of the language is paramount to understanding the other components of the language (e.g., the morpho-syntax, syntax, and discourse). Another priority for this project is the creation of a web-accessible digital archive to make Washo data accessible to scholars and, of equal or greater importance, to the native community itself. The concrete goal of this digital archive is to produce a bilingual lexicon (including textual references, etymology, audio material and usage notes) of 3000 entries, and less complete documentation (perhaps only morphological information and gloss) for an additional 2000 entries, for a total of 5000 lexical entries.

在美国国家科学基金会的支持下，Alan Yu 博士将承担为期三年的关于和商语的综合多媒体记录工作，这是最濒危且文献记载最少的美洲原住民语言之一。和商语属于霍坎语系，目前约有 13 至 20 名老年人使用该语言，他们居住在太浩湖东南部加利福尼亚州和内华达州边境附近的几个乡镇。我们将对今天所说的和商进行完整的记录。该项目拟议任期内的主要目标是详细研究和商语言的语音学和音系学，因为对语言语音学和音系学的深入理解对于理解语言的其他组成部分（例如，形态）至关重要。 -语法、句法和话语）。该项目的另一个优先事项是创建一个可通过网络访问的数字档案，以使学者以及同等或更重要的本土社区本身能够访问和商数据。该数字档案的具体目标是制作一个包含 3000 个条目的双语词典（包括文本参考、词源、音频材料和使用注释），以及另外 2000 个条目的不太完整的文档（可能只有词法信息和注释），总共5000个词汇条目。
