Every language carries identity. Every voice carries dignity.
And no human story should disappear.
GELPP is founded on a truth the world can no longer ignore:
When a language dies, an entire universe of memory, medicine, culture, ecology, and human wisdom dies with it.
At Dar Al Marjaan Translation Services, we believe languages are not only tools of communication — they are vessels of identity, history, belonging, and humanity.
GELPP is our commitment to the world: to ensure every language finds its place, permanently — preserved, digitized, translated, and made accessible for generations.
Connecting communities across continents to preserve linguistic heritage
Documenting not just words, but the wisdom and worldview they carry
Honoring every voice and the identity it represents
Languages are expected to disappear by the end of this century
speakers remain for some endangered languages
Survive only in oral traditions, never documented, never translated, never shared with the world
Every extinction is a silent tragedy — and a permanent loss for humanity.
GELPP exists to stop that loss.
Without urgent action, these languages will vanish forever.
We are running out of time.
And that is why GELPP must exist now.
GELPP is a global preservation framework built on four pillars:
Recording oral traditions, stories, rituals, histories, and spoken language from native speakers.
Writing endangered languages in their original script where possible, and translating them into English to make them accessible worldwide.
Using AI to create:
Creating a global digital archive so that:
GELPP transforms endangered languages into permanent digital heritage.
Led by Dar Al Marjaan Translation Services — a Ministry of Justice–licensed, ISO 9001 & 17100-certified translation authority.
Linguists + community storytellers + AI researchers working together.
Not just "saving words" — but preserving identity, worldview, mythologies, philosophies, and lived experience.
Embassies and Cultural Missions, UNESCO Desks and Heritage Organizations, Language Commissions, Academic Institutions and Universities, Indigenous Councils and Community Leaders, Researchers & NGOs, Linguists and Researchers, Technology Partners, Media & Philanthropic Organizations, and Other.
We treat languages not as data… but as living cultures deserving dignity, respect, and protection.
A simplified overview of our preservation process
Select endangered languages with urgent need for documentation.
Collaborate with native speakers, elders, and storytellers.
Video, audio, oral histories, vocabulary, grammar, and cultural practices.
Rendering oral languages into written form; translating to English.
Building searchable, analyzable, lifelong digital models.

GELPP is open for collaboration with organizations worldwide
Whether you want to sponsor a language, support and collaborate on research, or join our volunteer linguist team — your contribution becomes part of global history.
Protecting a language is protecting humanity itself.
If we do not act today, thousands of languages — and everything they carry — will disappear without leaving a trace.
GELPP is not just a program. It is a responsibility. A promise. A legacy project for all of humanity.
You can play an essential role in strengthening, expanding, and sustaining the Global Endangered Languages Preservation Program (GELPP). Whether through awareness, knowledge-sharing, or community engagement, your participation helps amplify the voices of languages at risk of disappearing.
