This collaborative project involves the Rosetta Project at The Long Now Foundation, the LINGUIST List, Stanford University, Eastern Michigan University, the Open Language Archive Community, and the Endangered Language Fund. The investigators are leading a global team of language specialists and native speakers to build a publicly accessible online archive for all documented human languages that serves as the definitive reference work on the languages of the world to date. Rosetta currently serves over 30,000 text pages documenting writing systems, phonology, grammar, vernacular texts, core wordlists, numbering systems, maps, audio files, and demographic/historical descriptions for over 1,000 languages. A major sub-component of the Rosetta archive is the ALL Language Word List Database - a collection of 200 term core vocabulary lists for the languages of the world, currently supporting 1,300 languages. This project supports the growth of this aspect of the Rosetta library with an expectation of increasing the coverage from 1,000 to 2,500 languages. Integral with this effort, LINGUIST is expanding and elaborating the functions of its "people" database - an index of the majority of the world's contemporary linguists, searchable by languages and families of interest, current research and teaching interests, course offerings, and contact information. This database is a critical resource to support the open contribution and peer review process, which builds Rosetta, as well as for educators wishing to find others with related teaching interests and sharable pedagogical materials. A compelling web environment offers "anywhere, anytime" tools for scholars and speakers to contribute and collaboratively view, vet, comment, correct and contextualize all the materials in the archive. These tools are combined with a user-focused site design, enabling both skilled and unskilled users to easily browse, locate, and download materials of interest. The result is an online digital library, which enables educators, researchers and learners to engage language datasets of unprecedented range and diversity. For many languages the Stanford Library and other libraries are providing links to "shelf materials" that provide more depth. This resource is also usable in linguistics courses that focus on properties of language, and it facilitates student research projects. The Cognitive, Psychological, and Language Sciences Program in the NSF Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences (BCS) is providing significant co-funding of this project in recognition of its value in serving the broader educational goals of BCS and its parent Directorate for Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences.

这个合作项目包括Long Now基金会的Rosetta项目、语言学家名单、斯坦福大学、东密歇根大学、开放语言档案馆社区和濒危语言基金会。调查人员正在领导一个由语言专家和母语人士组成的全球团队，为所有有文件记录的人类语言建立一个可公开访问的在线档案，作为迄今为止关于世界语言的权威参考工作。Rosetta目前提供30,000多页文本，记录1000多种语言的书写系统、语音、语法、白话文本、核心词表、编号系统、地图、音频文件和人口统计/历史描述。Rosetta档案的一个主要子组成部分是所有语言词表数据库--世界语言的200个术语核心词汇表的集合，目前支持1300种语言。该项目支持Rosetta图书馆在这方面的发展，期望将覆盖范围从1 000种语言增加到2 500种语言。作为这一努力的一部分，Languist正在扩展和详细说明其“People”数据库的功能--这是一个关于世界上大多数当代语言学家的索引，可按感兴趣的语言和家族、当前的研究和教学兴趣、课程设置和联系信息进行搜索。该数据库是支持建立Rosetta的开放贡献和同行审查进程的重要资源，也是希望找到其他有相关教学兴趣和共享教学材料的教育工作者的关键资源。一个引人入胜的网络环境为学者和演讲者提供了“随时随地”的工具，让他们可以共同查看、审查、评论、更正档案中的所有材料，并将其与背景联系起来。这些工具与以用户为中心的网站设计相结合，使熟练用户和非熟练用户都可以轻松地浏览、查找和下载感兴趣的材料。其结果是形成了一个在线数字图书馆，使教育工作者、研究人员和学习者能够接触到前所未有的范围和多样性的语言数据集。对于许多语言，斯坦福图书馆和其他图书馆正在提供更深入的“书架材料”链接。这一资源也可用于侧重于语言特性的语言学课程，并有助于学生的研究项目。美国国家科学基金会行为与认知科学(BCS)分部的认知、心理和语言科学计划为该项目提供了大量的共同资金，以承认其在服务于BCS及其上级社会、行为和经济科学理事会更广泛的教育目标方面的价值。
