Asia Pacific
Linguistics Olympiad

The Asia Pacific Linguistics Olympiad (APLO) is a regional problem-solving competition for secondary school students, focusing on analytical challenges in language and linguistics, with the aim of escalating attention to the scientific study of languages and advancing linguistics education across the Asia-Pacific region. It is similar to the International Linguistics Olympiad in spirit, and the nature and style of the problems. The APLO began in 2019 and takes place annually between late March and early April.
