Botanists discovered new species
Archaeologists tracked migrations
Languages are like creatures,
They can be endangered,too
By multiple reasons (War,disaster,famine)
Some have not been passed,and just gone
Linguists communities shoe resilience
UNESCO made Atlas of the World’s Languages in Danger available on-line
To support the continued use of minority languages
Communities need encouragement to hear, read, speak their language in schools and media.
Preservation needs components
Sounds, vocabulary,grammar, traditions
The Maori language has seen resurgence — language nests set up by the community where elders speak Maori to children
