We are using the acronym OAILL, pronounced /owaıl/. With my accent, this sounds like the German weil (=because), but it should be more the w in the English well.

OAILL is supported by the Language and Applied Research Center at San Diego State University (SDSU-LARC) and the Southern Area International Languages Network (SAILN).
