SIL is an international organization dedicated to language development especially among minority languages. The SIL Pacific Area is one of the five areas of the world where SIL International is involved in language development.
SIL has members from over 20 different countries serving the Pacific nations including Australia, Papua New Guinea, Solomon Islands and Vanuatu.
SIL is involved in linguistic research including language description, orthography design and dictionary making. We also place a high value using our expertise for training in the areas of vernacular literacy and translation. We are delighted to offer the results of our linguistic research online.
