The Linguistics Olympiad is a competition for high school students who are interested in language and logic. You will be given assignments about a wide variety of ancient and modern languages and writing systems. Knowledge of the languages themselves is not necessary; if you like languages and you also like mathematics, you have a good chance of winning great prizes. 

The Linguistics Olympiad is held annually and consists of a qualifying round and a final round. The entrants of the best solutions in the qualifying round have qualified for the final round which will be held on April 16, 2022 in Leiden at the University.
