Adopted Mukurtu
LangArchive-TH (Mahidol University)
LangArchive-TH, developed at Mahidol University's Research Institute for Languages and Cultures of Asia, uses the open-source Mukurtu platform to preserve endangered languages — its digital archive includes collections from 18 ethnic groups in Thailand. Built in collaboration with the Endangered Languages Archive (ELAR, SOAS), the project took a bottom-up, participatory approach with a Thai-localised interface, letting depositors retain data rights and set access restrictions. A Thai example of Mukurtu applied to community-led language archiving in the Global South.
