The Permanent International Commitee/Comité International Permanent des Linguistes (CIPL) is an international organization founded in 1928 during the first international congress of linguists which took place in The Hague.
It is a non-governmental organization founded to assist in the development of linguistic science. It tries to further linguistic
research and to co-ordinate activities undertaken for the advancement of linguistics. It considers it as its special task to promote
mutual contact between linguists and to make the results of linguistic research known internationally.
CIPL consists of a General Assembly and an Executive Committee.
Quintannual international congresses are organised in close collaboration with national committees of linguistic research. So far 17 congresses have been held.
Also CIPL prepares and publishes a linguistic bibliography which aims at giving a complete and reliable survey of all linguistic publications, irrespective of the country of their appearance or the language in which they are written.
In cooperation with UNESCO CIPL sponsors special linguistic projects such as projects in the field of Endangered Languages.
