The Northwestern German Linguistic Colloquium (NWLK) is the public forum of the Gesellschaft zur Förderung der sprachwissenschaftlichen Forschung im Nordwesten (GFsFNW) and is organized annually by either the University of Bremen or the University of Oldenburg.

The aim of this colloquium is to present, to discuss and to make – also in the form of corresponding publications – the linguistic research that takes place in northwestern Germany, specifically the Oldenburg/Bremen area, accessible to a wider scientific public.
