North American Computational Linguistics Open Competition NACLO 2025

Are you a middle school or high school student with a talent for languages, logic, and computational thinking? Would you like to challenge yourself by deciphering an ancient script or identifying the characteristics of some Martian animals?

NACLO, short for the North American Computational Linguistics Olympiad, is a contest specifically designed for high-school students (or younger) to solve linguistic puzzles. Participants are given linguistics problems to solve, which are based on different languages. All you need are logical and reasoning skills. No prior knowledge of languages or linguistics is necessary.

NACLO consists of two rounds: the Open Round and Invitational Round. The national winners from the Invitational Round are eligible to participate in the International Linguistics Olympiad (IOL).
