Languages Studied

Students may apply to the DILS program to study any language not taught at Yale. Below is a list of the languages that students are pursuing during the current semester, followed by a list of languages that have been studied at least once since the program's inception in the spring of 2001. Many languages have been studied at multiple levels. Some languages previously studied through DILS are now taught by regular university faculty through programs in departments and area studies councils.
