Iran and other countries with Iranic-speaking communities are home to scores of Iranic minority languages, rooted in ancient linguistic history which have enriched the identity of these regions for thousands of years. Languages and dialects such as Mazandarani, Gilaki, Talysh, etc are remain thoroughly undocumented and lack educational facilities for those who wish to learn said languages. Preservation and revitalization efforts of these languages is critical in order to safeguard the cultural and historical aspects that these languages hold. Therefore, the establishment of the Endangered Languages Initiative is essential for the educational initiative that the Hafez Institute for Iranic Linguistic Heritage undertakes to support the safeguarding of these languages.
