Comment: Not much has improved since the last two declines. I searched online but found nothing substantial on the subject so it's best to decline it for two reasons. 1- it was tagged as UPE, and 2- I'm worried the creators will keep resubmitting it. It's WP:TOOSOON for an article on this. —Saqib (talk I contribs) 08:14, 4 June 2024 (UTC)

Forum for Language Initiatives The Forum for Language Initiatives[1] (FLI) was founded in 2002, with its first office established in Peshawar, the provincial capital of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan. Located in the northern part of the country, Peshawar served as the initial hub for FLI's operations. Originally known as the Frontier Language Institute, the organization underwent a transformation in 2009 when its office relocated to Islamabad, the federal capital city of Pakistan. This move led to a change in its title, with FLI adopting its current name, Forum for Language Initiatives, in accordance with new registration laws in Islamabad. FLI's target area encompasses the northern region of Pakistan, co[1]mountainous areas, developing unique social systems, customs, cultures, languages, and, in some cases, their own religious and ethnic identities distinct from the majority. Historically, peaceful coexistence and harmony characterized relationships within and between these communities. They developed social systems rooted in indigenous wisdom, derived conflict resolution strategies from their experiences, and strove to mitigate violence. They cherished the arts and appreciated artistic expression. However, unavailability of any patronage from any side eroded these norms, and they gradually faded. Without government or external support, speakers of these languages[2] began to distance themselves from their languages and cultures, seeing no benefit in preserving them. Excluded from the education system and media, these languages were at risk of extinction. This scenario prompted the establishment of FLI to preserve[3], promote, revive, and develop these distinct languages and cultures, safeguarding their oral literature and cultural heritage[3].[3] FLI's target languages are following: 1. Balti
2. Bateri
3. Brokskat
4. Burushaski
5. Chilisso
6. Dameli
7. Domaaki
8. Gawarbati
9. Gawri
10. Gojri
11. Gowro
12. Hindko
13. Indus Kohistani
14. Kalasha
15. Kalkoti
16. Kam-Kataviri
17. Kashmiri
18. Khowar
19. Kundal Shahi
20. Madaklashti/ Dari
21. Mankiyali
22. Ormuri
23. Pahari-Potohari
24. Palula
25. Pashto
26. Shina
27. Torwali
28. Ushojo
29. Wakhi
30. Yadgha
What FLI does to preserve these languages is to train the[3] mother tongue speakers under its enablement program in language documentation, advocacy, research, etc. Here is its [https://fli-online.org/newsletters/ Annual report of 2023.
