Extractions: The"Linguistic Olympics" is a fun and educational problem-solvingactivity designed for secondary school students (ages 11 through 18). Students compete by solvingpuzzles based on real languages they have never learned.

TheLinguistic Olympics has been a regular part of education in Russia since 1965,and has been implemented three times at the University of Oregon in Eugene,Oregon, USA. On this site you will find a selection of puzzles from the lastthree US Linguistic Olympics competitions, as well as other resources that maybe valuable to teachers who would like to expose their studentsto the tremendous variety, complexity and beauty of the world's language. History The LinguisticOlympics was conceived by Russian linguist A. Zaliznyak, and in 1965 the first linguisticOlympics competition was held at Moscow State University. In 1996, over 450 studentsparticipated in the Moscow Linguistic Olympics and 350 in the St. PetersburgOlympics. Other Linguistic Olympics events have been held sporadically in other countries, but never in the United States until 1998. A "mini-" Linguistic Olympics was held in the Summer of 1997, with the help of Dr. Valentin Vydrine, the founder of the St.Petersburg Linguistic Olympics. Since then, an event very similar to the Russian Olympics has been held at the University of Oregon each Spring. The US Linguistic Olympics is still very much in the formative stages, so any suggestions or comments are appreciated.
