Our planet is home to over 7000 languages currently spoken, yet this unique linguistic diversity—the defining characteristic of our species—is under extreme stress, as are the indigenous communities that speak these increasingly endangered languages.
Indigenous and other historically marginalized speech communities are leveraging new digital tools and technologies in inspiring ways to reclaim their languages and move historically oral traditions into online spaces.
The National Research Council of Canada (NRC) is working on various collaborative projects that aim to utilize speech- and text-based technologies to assist the stabilization, revitalization and reclamation of Indigenous languages. I have included a screenshot of the different projects from the website: https://nrc.canada.ca/en/research-development/research-collaboration/programs/canadian-indigenous-languages-technology-project
