SIL works with partners in a number of countries in Eurasia, impacting an estimated 140 language communities in translation, storying, literacy, multilingual educational, language documentation and ethnoarts. Learn more: eurasia.sil.org

Guided by our values, SIL’s development of an ethics statement on #AI represents our intentional and proactive efforts to see that AI development leads to opportunities for all communities to experience human flourishing. Learn more: ow.ly/SchA50Rh8Vk
One of SIL's goals is to help bridge linguistic barriers & promote vital health education throughout language communities around the 🌍. Learn more about our #GlobalHealth efforts in this article by @CCIntlhealth! ccih.org/sil-africa-bui…
It's #FunFactFriday! 🎉 According to @theEthnologue, the African continent is home to 30% of the world's languages! Can you name one?
Thanks to your support, we were able to partner with 1,420 language communities in 2023. Check out some of the impact stories on our blog: sil.org/blog 🌍 #PeopleLanguagesLife #PeopleLanguagesLife #PeopleLanguagesLife
“The limits of my language mean the limits of my world.” —Ludwig Wittgenstein #LanguagesMatter
Today, we join the praises lifted up in languages across the globe. Happy Easter from SIL — He is Risen!
Glimpses from the 4th meeting of National Consultative Group on #MLE held at the @BritishCouncil reaffirm the furthering of understanding of MLE within NGOs, state govts, funders, academia and practitioners.@CAREIndia @IgnusPahal @ncert @roomtoreadindia @SILintl @unescobangkok
Of the 7,164 languages used around the world, approximately 3,511 have little to no Scripture. We are eager for the day when all people enjoy equal access to Scripture and resources for spiritual growth - no matter what language they speak or sign.
This word comes from the #Agutaynen language, spoken by around 15,000 people on Agutaya Island and several surrounding islands. Agutaynen is one of the 175 living indigenous languages of the Philippines. #DictionarySpotlight 📖
We're overjoyed that SIL was able to hold its first ever #DeafBlind workshop this year! Several parents also attended, hoping to learn how to best relate to and support their children. Learn more: sil.org/blog/sil%E2%80…
3,078 languages are endangered, with 80% of those in just 25 countries. How many languages are vulnerable where you live? #infographics #Languages #INDIGENOUS @slatornews @langmag @Babelzine @UNESCO @SILintl @CLEARGlobalOrg
Let's celebrate our diverse tastes and flavors together—share your favorite food from your culture!🍴🌏 👇#PeopleLanguagesLife
14 language communities came together for an app-building workshop. The result? New, exciting language-learning resources that will help lay a foundation for flourishing in all areas of life! “So many of us have waited so long for something like this.” ow.ly/nPSv50QIVAA
#Fact: Half of the women in South + West Asia and sub-Saharan Africa cannot read or write. We want to help change that. This #InternationalWomensDay, we celebrate the work being done across the globe to help open doors to education & ultimately greater flourishing for women!
According to recent data, approximately 800 women die every day from preventable causes related to #pregnancy & #childbirth — that's about 1 woman every 2 minutes. Most of these deaths are entirely preventable. THIS is why literacy programs + resources in local languages matter.

@SILintl We have personal connections with far too many young women who have died soon after childbirth. Nigeria’s maternal mortality rate is 100x the UK’s. 100x. It’s heartbreaking.
@SILintl Even if medical facilities, doctors and nurses are suitably trained and equipped a striking contributory factor is that the language and status disconnect between medics and patients leads to unnecessarily poor outcomes as patients don’t have a say in their own treatment.
All languages hold equal significance. BUT multilingual education is far from being a reality, creating a learning barrier for millions of learners. On #MotherLanguageDay, let’s commit to inclusive education! on.unesco.org/3wu2QD2
Today is #MotherLanguageDay! 🙋♀️💬 Let's acknowledge the power of multilingual education as a cornerstone of intergenerational learning. 👨👧 on.unesco.org/3wu2QD2
