LinguaLibre.org is a Wikimedia France's project which supports languages by recording pronunciations. Since it started, more than 2,700 have submitted 1.4 million recordings across 312 languages. Hugo Lopez from the Lingua Libra project will lead a session introducing the project, show you how to create a vocabulary list, and make a minimal bilingual e-dictionary for your target linguistic community. This session will have hands on elements. |

 "Lightning Talk: Wikifunctions and smaller languages" by Nicolas Vigneron Wikifunctions officially launched in July 2023. It is a collection of computer functions that make it easier to create code, templates, or even articles (Abstract Wikipedia). Nicolas Vigneron will give an overview and a first glimpse of how smaller language communities can use Wikifunctions, what is possible and what is needed (spoiler: Wikidata and Lexemes). |

| 14:40 | 15mins |  The National Library of Wales plays a key role in supporting the Welsh language. Jason Evans of the NLW will talk about how the public can work with authorities to create and improve content such as sound clips, photographs and collecting local place names. Using his work with Eryri Park rangers and the Standardisation of Welsh Place Names committee as an example of what this looks like in practice. |
| 14:55 | 15mins |  "When Can We Cite Low-Resourced Language Oral Histories in Wikimedia Projects?" by Subhashish Panigrahi Though Wikipedia aims to become "the sum of all human knowledge," it does not allow citing oral history, a form that most of the world's communities use to disseminate knowledge. At the OpenSpeaks Archives, we are building practical tools to document low-resourced languages lacking scripts or historical writing traditions. This session would delve into the current citational barriers for oral history in such languages, particularly in Wikipedia and Wikimedia projects, and detail some of the alternate citational pathways. |
| 15:10 | 30mins | "Unlocking Irish Data" by Dr Abigail Walsh, eSTÓR
In this presentation Dr Abigail Walsh discussed what language data is, how it can be collected, challenges with collection and how it has been used in the eSTÓR project to support the development of technical tools for the Irish language. |
