Working on cultural heritage preservation projects has made me increasingly concerned about cultural language preservation. Language isn't just communication it carries worldview, history, and cultural identity and traditions.
I've been involved with several cultural language preservation initiatives for indigenous languages with fewer than 100 speakers. The challenges are immense, but some communities are finding creative solutions.
What approaches to cultural language preservation have you seen that actually work? How do we balance documentation with keeping languages living and evolving? And what role can technology play in cultural language preservation efforts?
