Wycliffe and SIL have been active in Canada for way longer than just CanIL! Pictured here are participants in that program playing volleyball behind a hotel in Briercrest, SK, used for the Canadian SIL program in 1945. #linguistics #training #translation #TBT #throwbackthursday

Do you know where the word Halloween comes from? ‘Hallow’ used to mean ‘saint’ and ‘een’ was a shortening of ‘even’ or ‘evening.’ Originally the term was used to refer to the night before All Saints Day which is celebrated on November 1.

Did you know that before computers, linguists used shoeboxes to store lexical data? Nowadays, linguists have access to an array of advanced technology to aid them as they study languages. One program is even called 'Shoebox'.
Language developers work alongside communities to record, document and translate a language. At CanIL, we challenge our students to understand and translate words from raw phonetic data, using real-life examples to prepare our students for future language work.
