What if open source could help save endangered languages? In this FOSSASIA Summit 2026 lightning talk, Chisomo Banzi introduces Starlog, an open-source platform designed to support language preservation by helping communities document, assess, and protect their linguistic heritage.
Learn how Starlog maps vocabulary coverage, empowers communities with data sovereignty, and provides collaborative workflows for elders, documenters, and language experts. Featuring real-world deployments with Shona and Paiwan, this session showcases how open technology can preserve culture, strengthen education, and support endangered languages.
