UCL Database of London's Languages
|
|
London is a remarkably diverse linguistic city, with over 230 languages
reportedly spoken by its inhabitants. This unique situation makes the capital’s
speakers a valuable resource for linguistic research: it is often vital to have
access to native speakers of the studied language in order to form and test
hypotheses. A UCL Research Challenges 2008 grant awarded to Dr Kriszta Szendrői
has enabled the Linguistics department to create a database of native speakers
of different languages in London
in order to make these languages accessible to researchers. Already, more than
500 native speakers have registered, between them representing over 100
languages.

"I live in London and studied Linguistics at UCL. With London being a meeting point for so many diverse and exciting cultures, the project is a superb idea." Christine Ohuruogu We are looking for more native speakers, particularly of the languages which we donot yet have represented on the database. |
