LINGUA is a student-run linguistics organization at The University of Texas at Arlington. Nearly every semester, Lingua hosts lectures in linguistics and related fields given by faculty and scholars from the UT Arlington Department of Linguistics and TESOL, GIAL, and other organizations and schools. In addition, Lingua organizes the annual student linguistics conference at UT Arlington (UTASCILT) with linguistic scholars from around the world.

Lingua has encouraged, supported, and fostered the study of lesser-studied languages of the world, such as Akposso, Kam, Kadai, Kurdish, Thai, Hausa, Bai, Bulgarian, Vietnamese, Mixe-Zoque, Tamil, Panjabi, Sinhala, Sanskrit, Greek, Hebrew, Angas, Yi, Taiwanese, Korean, Japanese, Mandarin, Jarai, and Albanian. Lingua's past and current members have conducted research in Albania, Cambodia, Myanmar, Papua New Guinea, Nigeria, Ethiopia, Liberia, India, Pakistan, Australia, Mexico, Thailand, Vietnam, Taiwan, China, Korea, Japan, Russia and all corners of the globe!
