Practica
The last week of CoLang will be a fieldwork practicum in collaborative language documentation and revitalization. The purpose of the practica is to apply the linguistic, ethical, practical and technical skills gained in the workshops in a guided apprenticeship. For CoLang 2026, we are honored to offer practica focused on the three languages indigenous to Northern Nevada: Wašiw (Washoe), Numu (Northern Paiute) and Newe (Western Shoshone). The practica will be taught by passionate and dedicated language experts who are leaders in their communities.
