The single most important imperative of contemporary linguistics is to document, describe, and analyze endangered languages and other lesser-known languages and dialects. This open access, peer-reviewed series publishes titles on poorly studied languages and dialects around the world, and especially welcomes contributions on languages of Japan and the rest of the Asia-Pacific region. Single and multi-authored monographs discussing a single language or multiple languages are welcome, as well as thematic collections of contributions by various scholars. Authors not affiliated with the National Institute for Japanese Language and Linguistics (NINJAL) or with the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa (UHM) are encouraged to apply for open access funding with their own institutions or with relevant private or governmental funding organizations. Information about open access publishing with Brill may be found here.

Interested scholars may contact the Acquisition Editor at Brill, Dr Uri Tadmor. Please direct all other correspondence to Associate Editor Elisa Perotti.

As the importance of cultural diversity for the survival of humanity is increasingly acknowledged and the central role language plays in culture is understood, it has become vital to preserve the linguistic diversity of the world for future generations. The Endangered Languages Yearbook provides a forum for scholars to publish the results of research on endangered and minoritized languages. It is published in collaboration with the Foundation for Endangered Languages (FEL), which celebrated its 25th anniversary in 2021. FEL was set up to respond to the disappearance of the world’s languages, and collaborates with academics, communities, institutions, and organisations to support and assist the documentation, protection, and promotion of endangered languages. Volumes of The Endangered Languages Yearbook consist of selected, peer-reviewed, and edited papers presented at the annual FEL conferences, as well as articles submitted by other authors on the relevant topic.
