Documentation of Endangered Languages
Documentation of Endangered Languages involves recording and preserving the vocabulary, grammar, stories, and cultural practices of languages at risk of disappearing. This process uses audio, video, written texts, and digital tools to create a comprehensive record, ensuring future generations and researchers can study and potentially revive these languages. It helps maintain cultural diversity, promote linguistic rights, and provides valuable insights into human history and identity. Effective documentation requires collaboration with native speakers and experts, emphasizing accuracy and cultural sensitivity.
