Living Languages
Living Languages is an international non-profit organisation which was established to advance the sustainability of the world's Indigenous languages.

History
The organisation was founded as the Resource Network for Linguistic Diversity (RNLD) in 2004 by linguists Margaret Florey and Nicholas Thieberger as a resource organisation aiming to support linguistic diversity by offering a range of training programs, facilitating networking between language maintenance practitioners, and maintaining a website with various practical resources. Living Languages is incorporated in Victoria, Australia, and is registered as a tax-exempt organisation. Funded activities by Living Languages are primarily supported by the Indigenous Languages and Arts (ILA) grant scheme from the Government of Australia. In September of 2019, it renamed to 'Living Languages', with the stated goal of better reflecting the organisation's mission.

Mission
When initially founded as the RNLD, its mission statement was stated as:

"RNLD's mission is to advance the sustainability of Indigenous languages and to increase the participation of Indigenous peoples in all aspects of language documentation and revitalisation through training, resource sharing, networking, and advocacy. Through our activities, we contribute to the holistic health and wellbeing of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities by providing direct relief from the suffering and distress that arises from the loss of Indigenous languages and the consequent alienation from cultural heritage and Indigenous identity."

Since renaming to Living Languages in 2019, this was updated to:

"To create a positive input to Australian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community resilience, health, wellbeing and cultural identity through enabling the sustainability of Indigenous languages."

Training
Living Languages collaborated with AIATSIS in 2019 to deliver the Paper and Talk workshop. Living Languages also provides training to linguists to make their work more accessible to communities.

Resources
Living Languages is the publisher of the Learner’s Guide Template, which is both an instruction set and Plain English template for writing a learner's guide for an Indigenous Australian language.

Living Languages also manages the active email discussion list, which still goes by the RNLD name. The organisation also helps to coordinate Linguistics in the Pub events in Melbourne, London and other cities.
