Why is preserving minority and endangered languages important?

With every disappearing language, it's not only the language iself that disappears, but also precious and unretrievable knowledge that is uniquely encoded in that language.

I'm here to tell you things you don't need to know about languages you don't know.

The Dongba script is the only pictographic script still in use today.

This endangered script was developed by the Naxi people, one of the 56 ethnic minorities of China.

Languages are political: the words we use, the accents we judge, and the dialects we dismiss all reflect power structures and inequalities. Speak up, not just in your language, but for your language. 🌍💬 #Linguistics #Politics #dialects #endangeredlanguages #sociolinguistics

English recently became the US's official language. But on a tiny island, residents still speak the country's most English version of English, and many Americans don't understand it.
