linguistic revitalization

Linguistic revitalization involves efforts to revive and strengthen a language that is at risk of disappearing. It includes activities like teaching the language to new speakers, creating educational resources, recording native speakers, and promoting its use in daily life. These initiatives aim to preserve cultural identity and heritage, ensuring the language remains a living, functional part of communities. It’s a proactive response to language decline, often driven by community members, linguists, and organizations working together to keep a language vibrant for future generations.
