M3P4: Using technology to help revitalize indigenous languages

This article provides a clear overview of the Indigenous language loss and revitalization on a global scale. It is a helpful resource while I am preparing for my paper because it provides a “big picture” overview of the larger trends that have and are occurring. It discusses global action that is being taken, including steps by the UN to “promote and protect Indigenous languages” as well as references the recognition of “community goals of self-determination” . In regards to technology, it mostly focuses on radio and TV. I also like this article because throughout the text it provides hyperlinks to other articles and topics. For example, I explored a hyperlink to an article titled “The world’s languages, in 7 maps and charts”. I like this feature because it allows the reader to follow their interests and curiosities and there seems to be quite a few hyperlinks available.
