The '''Rosetta Project''' is a global collaboration of language specialists and native speakers working to develop a contemporary version of the historic [[Rosetta Stone]]. Run by the [[Long Now Foundation]], the project aims to create a survey and near-permanent archive of 1,500 [[language]]s that can enable [[comparative linguistics|comparative linguistic]] research and education and might help recover or revitalize lost languages in the future.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2012-03-24 |title=The Rosetta Project |url=https://www.abc.net.au/radionational/archived/linguafranca/3903626 |access-date=2023-09-26 |website=ABC Radio National |language=en-AU}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=2011-03-07 |title=Dr. Laura Welcher - The Rosetta Project & The Language Commons |url=https://longnow.org/ideas/dr-laura-welcher-the-rosetta-project-the-language-commons/ |access-date=2023-09-26 |website=Long Now |language=en}}</ref>

The project works through an open-contribution, open-review process similar to the one that created the ''[[Oxford English Dictionary]]''. The archive will be publicly available in three media: a [[HD-Rosetta]] micro-etched [[nickel]] [[alloy]] disc three inches (7.62 cm) across with a 2,000-year life expectancy; a single-volume monumental reference book; and a growing online archive. <!-- I thought the metal was going to be [[Monel]]; did they change it, or did whoever write this not know the name/that we have an article on it? -->
