Indigenous Language

An Indigenous language is a language that has been traditionally spoken by the original peoples of a region, developed over generations within their communities. These languages embody unique cultural identities, histories, and worldviews, often passing oral traditions and knowledge. Many Indigenous languages face challenges due to colonization, globalization, and declining speaker numbers. Preserving and reviving these languages help maintain cultural diversity, support Indigenous rights, and foster understanding of different ways of perceiving and interacting with the world.
