It recruits grad students to collect new field research on little-known languages as the topics for their Ph.D. dissertations. The Himalayan Languages Project was officially commissioned by the government of Bhutan to devise a standard romanization of Dzongkha. Since George van Driem's move to the University of Bern, many members of the Himalayan Languages Project are now based out of Switzerland. (en)
