The Rosetta Project
URL: http://www.rosettaproject.org/

Description:
"The Rosetta Project is a global collaboration of language specialists and native speakers building a publicly accessible online archive of all documented human languages," fifty to ninety percent of which are predicted to disappear in the next century. The site provides classification information (searchable, or browsable by language name, country, or language family) for hundreds of languages, audio samples of selected languages, and more. A project of the Long Now Foundation.
