Indigenous languages

Indigenous languages are the native languages spoken by the original inhabitants of a region, often tied to specific cultures and traditions. These languages reflect unique worldviews and ways of life, embodying the history and identity of Indigenous communities. Many Indigenous languages are endangered due to historical factors such as colonization and assimilation policies, leading to a decline in fluent speakers. Efforts are being made globally to revitalize and preserve these languages, recognizing their importance in cultural heritage and their value in promoting diversity and understanding within our increasingly interconnected world.
