International Linguistics Olympiad

The International Linguistics Olympiad (IOL) is а student competition for secondary school students from the International Science Olympiads. Its abbreviation, IOL, is deliberately chosen not to correspond to the name of the organization in any particular language so that member organizations can choose for themselves how to designate the competition in their own language. This olympiad furthers the fields of mathematical, theoretical, and descriptive linguistics.
