Welcome to the web site of SIL (Sociedade Internacional de Lingüística) in Brazil!

About this Site

This site provides information on SIL in Brazil, its work and its history.

There is also information here on the indigenous groups of Brazil, their languages and cultures, and literacy and education among them. You will find material written in some of these languages, and about some of these languages.

SIL Brazil can also provide access to dictionaries, grammars and other technical publications about these languages, including recent papers that have been presented. You may want to consult our bibliography, both before 1995 and from 1995 until 1999. (Note: Publications available on this web site are in Adobe Acrobat format. If you do not have the free Adobe Acrobat reader, click here to download it.)

If you are looking for information about linguistics courses in which SIL personnel participate you will find it here also.
