The disappearance of the world's languages makes language documentation one of the most urgent scientific tasks in this new century. Although there has been an increase in the amount of research in language documentation, some of that funding is coming to an end without a clear replacement. Understanding what the recent upsurge in funding has accomplished or failed to accomplish is essential to our planning for the next decade's worth of effort in this area. Having a long-range plan for supporting work on endangered languages is essential to the efforts currently in place or waiting to begin.The National Science Foundation will sponsor a workshop to bring together leading language researchers and current and potential funders of language work. The researchers will examine the results of past documentation efforts, both to assess the success of current efforts and to describe that is needed for the future. The representatives of funding agencies will begin to address how their organizations can contribute to the world-wide effort at documenting these languages while there is still tie. The workshop will be held at the New England Center, on the campus of the University of New Hampshire.

世界语言的消失使语言文档成为新世纪最紧迫的科学任务之一。尽管语言文档的研究数量有所增加，但其中一些资金即将结束，没有明确的替代。了解最新资金的兴起已经完成或未能实现的目标对于我们在未来十年在这一领域的努力的计划至关重要。 制定一项长期计划来支持濒危语言的工作对于当前的努力或等待开始的工作至关重要。国家科学基金会将赞助一个研讨会，以将领先的语言研究人员以及当前和潜在的语言工作提供者汇集在一起​​。 研究人员将研究过去文档工作的结果，既要评估当前努力的成功，又要描述未来所需的。 资助机构的代表将开始解决其组织如何在仍然有领带的情况下为这些语言的全球努力做出贡献。该研讨会将在新罕布什尔大学校园的新英格兰中心举行。
