It identifies up to four high-performing students who may participate in the IOL (International Linguistics Olympiad) under the ASLO initiative, subject to eligibility, registration, and approval by the relevant IOL organizers

​A language is not just words. It's a culture, a tradition, a unification of a community, a whole history that creates what a community is. It's all embodied in a language.
