Abstract | The report describes an Ontario (Canada) project to establish standards for the written and oral languages of its natives, including two language families and 13 languages still present in the province. The project has two streams: (1) a series of language conferences intended to establish consensus within an entire community regarding standard written script and orthography, and (2) preparation and publication of bilingual dictionaries and reference grammars. The three conferences held to date are noted, targeted languages are listed, and issues in maintenance of geographically isolated languages are discussed briefly. The role of the Ontario government in language planning and in indigenous language and heritage maintenance, revitalization, and awareness-raising is also discussed. Appended materials include details of the individual language projects, Algonkian and Iroquoian language family charts, a list of aboriginal languages and first nations of Ontario, native literacy program enrollments and contact persons, a list of Ontario centers for the study of aboriginal languages, a list of Ontario schools offering aboriginal languages as a regular subject, a list of Ontario school districts offering native languages as a second language, and information on the reservation schools in which aboriginal languages are taught.
