November 28, 2008: First Meeting for the Sorosoro Scientific Council
Compile a Digital Encyclopedia of Languages, create an online Language Television, and contribute to the vigor and development of communities whose language and culture are in danger: these three stages of the program “Sorosoro, so that the languages of the world may prosper!” cannot be undertaken without the expertise of men and women in the field.

- Barbara Glowczewski, anthropologist (Aborigines of Australia), Social Anthropology Laboratory, EHESS
- Colette Grinevald, linguist (Amerindian languages), Dynamic Laboratory of Language (DDL), Lyon 2
- Michel Launey, linguist (languages of Guyana and Mayotte, education), CELIA/CNRS
- Cécile Leguy, ethno-linguist and africanist (Mali), Laboratory of Languages, Music, Societies (LMS/CNRS), and University of Paris Descartes, Paris 5
- Claire Moyse, linguist (language of New Caledonia and the Pacific), LACITO/CNRS
- Stéphane Robert, linguist (languages of Senegal), LLACAN/CNRS
The Council will meet three times a year to study and approve the program’s upcoming endeavors: examining projects, choosing populations to film, establishing film methodology, implementing partnerships…
