SIL’s service with ethnolinguistic minority communities is motivated by the belief that all people are created in the image of God, and that languages and cultures are part of the richness of God's creation.

 

SIL works with ethnolinguistic minority communities as they build their capacity for the sustainable development of their own languages.

 

Over 950 of SIL's workers hold advanced degrees, and many regularly present papers and publish their research.

 

SIL offers training in a variety of disciplines relevant to sustainable language development.

 

SIL's primary partnerships are with local language communities and with other agencies serving them.

 

Technology brings much of the world together, yet can also be a barrier to participation of some communities in the global community.

 

SIL is involved in translation work in partnership with more than one thousand language communities around the world.
