The Archive of the Indigenous Languages of Latin

www.ailla.org This paper presents an overview of the goals and visions of the Archive of the Indigenous Languages of Latin America at the University of Texas at Austin. The archive is a digital repository of multi-media language resources with a web-based interface.
