International Decade of the World's Indigenous People, and,

Summer Institute of Linguistic in the Philippines - 50th Anniversary

The first Summer Institute of Linguistics (SIL) linguists arrived in the Philippines in 1953 at the invitation of President Ramon Magsaysay and others. Twenty years later, SIL achieved the distinction of receiving the Magsaysay Award for International Understanding. Today SIL is recognized as an international Non-Government Organizations (NGO) in consultative status with UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) and the Economic and Social Council of the United Nations.

SIL has provided linguistic research and vernacular materials in almost 100 languages/dialects of the Philippines. The Department of Education, Translators Association of the Philippines, and the Linguistic Society of the Philippines are long-term partners along with University of the Philippines, De La Salle University, Philippine Normal University and others. Numerous community-based associations in language areas where SIL has worked now carry on similar translation and literacy programs for themselves. The 50th Anniversary Bibliography of SIL Philippines lists almost 3,500 titles of academic research and literacy publications for the benefit of the minority peoples of the nation. The work SIL began in the Philippines has spread to benefit minority groups across Asia and the Pacific.
