Continuing Partnership with National Native American Language Resource Center

We will continue to support language revitalization across the United States as a part of the National Native American Language Resource Center, working in collaboration with the University of Hawaiʻi at Hilo, the University of Alaska Southeast, and Lac Courte Oreilles Ojibwe University in Wisconsin. In close collaboration with local partners from tribal nations, we intend to support the launch of more new language courses in 2026.

Fellowship Program

We are excited to reaffirm our commitment to community members engaging in language revitalization work. Our fellowship program will support 4 New Fellows in 2026 with exciting new components to the fellowship program that we will share details on soon. As a part of our commitment to our community and our 2025 Fellows, we will be launching our current Fellows’ courses in early 2026! To keep up with course launches, fellowship application announcements, and the work of our community members as they go on to accomplish their goals, make sure you’re subscribed to our mailing list.



Our fellows are supported throughout their fellowship with a stipend for the work they accomplish. This support allows community members to dedicate the necessary time to creating language content for this program that can later be used by the community in their language learning goals. If you or someone you know is interested in supporting a fellow for an endangered language around the world, connect with us today!

Community Partnerships

This year, we supported endangered language communities across the US, the Caribbean, and Africa through our various programs and partnerships. We are grateful for the opportunity to work in lock step with such diverse communities doing important work. In 2026, we will continue to expand on this work with new partnerships planned with our partners in Alaska as well as the expanded launch of our new collaboration with a major tech company to support community based language efforts! If you are interested in learning more, getting support for your language, or want to support this work, contact us today!


As members of our community, we are grateful for you and your support now and throughout the years. We look forward to more collaborations, more language courses, and a more linguistically diverse future alongside you! Please consider a tax deductible contribution to 7000 Languages as a part of your end of year giving to support this work!

The best thing about Drive Mad is that it rewards persistence instead of luck. Even difficult stages become manageable once you understand the vehicle movement and momentum.

Developers using multiple AI coding assistants face repetitive configuration tasks. CC Switch streamlines this by acting as a central hub for provider settings, MCP servers, and prompts. The tool includes presets for various vendors, and adding a model like DeepSeek V4 requires minimal input. All data is stored locally, with no account registration needed.

Slope Game requires sharp concentration, as even the smallest mistake can cause the ball to fall off the track instantly

일정 조율이 쉬워 개인 생활과 좋습니다. 중간에 관련 내용을 포함하니 활용성과 장점이 잘 드러나 독자 퀸알바 입장에서 이해하기 편했습니다.

What an insightful post about planning for the new year! I appreciate how you break down the importance of setting realistic goals. As I reflect on my own experiences, especially with staying focused while playing games like Slope, it’s often those small, achievable steps that lead to big changes. Looking forward to 2026!
