Language is more than a means of communication; it is an identity.
There are 6000-7000 languages spoken by indigenous peoples around the world but indigenous languages extinction is going unnoticed. So many people who desire to revitalize indigenous languages are trying to promote and help make it more accessible to people by using some playing cards that double as a language matching game.
This radio tells us how indigenous languages are learned and grown and how challenging it is to maintain. We know some best ways to learn a language such as playing games, immersion programs, etc, but those are not enough to revitalize and flourish endangered indigenous language. In order to help reclaim and revitalize endangered languages, not only individual efforts, also government or community-based funding should be accompanied that make it more accessible to learn the various languages by using technology. Technology can play a role as the bridge of generation gap as well as geographic distances.
Thanks for sharing, David.
Do you know where these cards can be purchased from and the languages they come in?
I am sorry but I have no idea about where we can purchase them.
