Ainu language revitalization

Ainu language revitalization involves efforts to preserve and revive the Ainu language, spoken by the indigenous Ainu people of Japan. Since the language faced decline due to cultural suppression and assimilation policies, communities now promote its use through education, cultural programs, and media. These initiatives aim to strengthen cultural identity, teach new generations, and document the language's vocabulary and traditions. While challenges remain, ongoing efforts are crucial in preventing the language's extinction and ensuring the Ainu culture endures for future generations.
