[DoBeS](http://www.mpi.nl/DOBES) (funded by [VolkswagenFoundation](http://www.volkswagenstiftung.de/index.html?L=1)) stands for Dokumentation Bedrohter Sprachen, or in English; Documentation of endangered languages. In 2000 the VolkswagenFoundation started the DoBeS program to document endangered languages and to archive the results in a proper and easily accessible way. Currently 47 teams are operating world wide to document about 70 languages which are in danger of becoming extinct.
