Forum for Language Initiatives (FLI) Preserving for future generations the richness of traditional stories and customs. Pakistan is a country of rich culture and ethnic diversity.

Many of Pakistan’s people recognize the importance of preserving the wealth of its cultural heritage, including its many languages. Until this day there has been a lack of institutional support in this area, which was the reason for the Forum for Language Initiatives (FLI) to be founded in 2003. The idea was to function as a resource centre for the many language communities in Pakistan’s mountaino

us North. Some people want to compile dictionaries, some want to develop community literacy programmes, others see the need for producing literature in their languages. Many also see the need for good descriptions of the many intriguing cultural and linguistic phenomena observed in their communities. FLI has for the last eight years provided training and mentorship for a number of language activists, social workers and local researchers in the area of language and culture documentation. This has primarily been carried out in a practical one-year programme called the Discovery Programme. FLI has also facilitated the establishment of pilot projects which take the mother tongue as the starting point for curriculum development and children’s learning to read and write, gradually transitioning from the mother tongue to focusing on imparting skills in Urdu and English. Some of FLI’s goals are:
- To preserve oral traditions, poetry, proverbs, folk tales and other aspects of their cultural heritage
- Make bilingual or trilingual dictionaries and glossaries
- Improve reading and writing skills
- Produce literature in the national, regional and vernacular languages of northern Pakistan
