The Archive of the Indigenous Languages of Latin America (AILLA) will be a web-accessible database of audio and textual data from the indigenous languages of Latin America, focusing on naturally-occurring discourse. Scholars, students, and indigenous people will be able to access the AILLA database using their web browsers, search and browse the contents of the database, and download audio and text files from the database onto their own computers, which they can then listen to or read immediately, using free, downloadable software. AILLA will archive primarily unpublished and previously unavailable audio recordings and texts, and both preserve them and make them easily accessible by creating a centralized and organized repository of digitized copies of these materials. In developing and implementing the database and web-browser interface, AILLA will create a robust information infrastructure for use by researchers, students, and indigenous peoples. It will also develop: search tools for comparative, typological, and historical research on language; language data related protocols including a metadata scheme, data structures, and applications; and standards and tools to address ethical issues of privacy and intellectual property rights for language materials on the web. The fundamental goal is to create an infrastructure for distributed scholarship in language-related disciplines concerned with indigenous Latin America.In addition to making data available for basic research, AILLA will provide a wide range of data for use in teaching courses in anthropology, linguistics, and other language-related fields. It will facilitate the interchange of data between Latin American, North American, and European scholars and between scholars and indigenous communities, and will form an important new link in the network of people working with the indigenous languages of Latin America. AILLA will also be a resource for indigenous communities working to preserve, maintain, and revitalize their languages.

拉丁美洲土著语言档案（AILLA）将是一个可通过网络访问的拉丁美洲土著语言音频和文本数据库，重点是自然发生的话语。学者、学生和土著居民将能够使用网络浏览器访问AILLA数据库，搜索和浏览数据库的内容，并从数据库下载音频和文本文件到自己的计算机上，然后他们可以使用免费下载的软件立即收听或阅读。AILLA将主要存档未出版和以前不可用的录音和文本，并通过创建这些材料的数字化副本的集中和有组织的存储库来保存它们并使它们易于访问。在开发和实施数据库和网络浏览器界面时，AILLA将建立一个强大的信息基础设施，供研究人员、学生和土著人民使用。它还将发展：用于语言比较、类型学和历史研究的搜索工具;语言数据相关协议，包括元数据方案、数据结构和应用程序;以及解决网上语言材料隐私和知识产权的道德问题的标准和工具。其基本目标是为与拉丁美洲土著人有关的语言相关学科的分布式奖学金建立基础设施，除了为基础研究提供数据外，AILLA还将提供广泛的数据，用于人类学、语言学和其他语言相关领域的教学课程。它将促进拉丁美洲、北美和欧洲学者之间以及学者与土著社区之间的数据交换，并将在从事拉丁美洲土著语言工作的人员网络中形成一个重要的新联系。AILLA还将成为致力于保护，维护和振兴其语言的土著社区的资源。
