January is generally the month in which we reflect on the past and think about the year ahead. For the Ethnologue, however, our year begins and ends in February. Later this month, on International Mother Language Day (February 21st), we'll release the 19th edition of the Ethnologue.

As I have mentioned a few times in the past, the Ethnologue represents three generations of ongoing research. This project has involved thousands of linguists over the years from SIL International, from partner organizations, and from many, many individuals.

Sometime in the next few weeks the Ethnologue 18th edition print volumes should become available through your preferred bookseller.

Happy New Year from all of us here at Ethnologue Central!

Our overlords and task masters have ordered us to take a break here (not even to answer emails!), so this post will be short. As I write, we are all resting in our cells getting ready for the exciting things to come in 2015.
