Evaluating Sources for this Assignment

You have to find language preservation and teaching materials. Some of the archives above might have relevant materials for your languages.

Also ask yourself:

How close to native speakers is this material? Can I tell that native speakers worked on it, or at least that linguists worked on it with native speakers?

Is this material specific to my language, rather than a general language learning resource?
