User:Mopnsecampos/sandbox The Mexican Secretariat of Education uses a four risk scale to measure endangered languages. The lowest is non-immediate risk of disappearance, then medium risk, high risk, and lastly very high risk of disappearance. Currently, Chatino is considered at high risk of disappearance.

In an effort to help revitalize the Chatino Language, a team of linguists and professors came together to make The Chatino Language Documentation Project. The team included Emiliana Cruz, Hilaria Cruz, Eric Campbell, Justin McInstosh, Jeffrey Rasch, John Ryan Sullivant, Stephanie Villard, and Tony Woodbury. They began the Chatino Documentation Project in the summer of 2003 hoping to document and preserve the Chatino Language and its dialects. Using audio and video recordings they have been able to document the language during everyday life interactions. Up until 2003, Chatino was an oral language, with no written form. After beginning the Chatino Documentation project Emiliana Cruz with the help of the team, began to create a written form of the Chatino Language. This transition has created more resources for revitalization projects. They hope the resources they have made will soon be used to create educational materials like books to help the Chatino people be able to read and write their language.
