This video features clips from the documentary The Last Speakers, a documentary about endangered languages shown on PBS. These clips show people speaking endangered languages.
The first clip shows Johhny Hill speaking Chemehuevi, a Native American language near extinction. His grandmother spoke the language to him as he was growing up and now he is one of the last speakers. The Chemehuevi mostly live in Arizona.
The second clip is a story being told in Middle Chulym, a language that started to die out due to political reasons. In the 1940s, Joseph Stalin ordered Chulym children to attend boarding schools where instruction was in Russian. Chulym was regarded as a gutter language and the children stopped using it, for the most part.
The third clip is Una Rooi, a woman speaking Nǀu, a language that nearly died out in South Africa. The language is one that can immediately be recognized for its clicking sounds. Rooi says, "If a person who speaks our language dies, our language also dies."
The final clip shows a group of young people singing in Hawaiian, a language that was largely displaced by English after Hawaii was annexed by the United States in 1899 when the language was banned from schools. Efforts over the past few decades have been made to revitalize the language.
Rapid globalization and technology that brings majority world languages into minority language homes threatens the survival of the estimated 6,000 to 7,000 languages worldwide. Whether in Africa, Australia, the United States or beyond, tiny languages are endangered, with their survival often depending on the last elderly speakers. Europe's endangered Irish language is a great story of a language reviving its prospects, but success stories of languages renewed and reclaimed abound, such as the Wampanoag language, spoken by the tribe reputed to have celebrated the first Thanksgiving with the Pilgrims. The human spirit craves a connection to ancestors and the past, and heritage languages do just that, while breathing new life into the future.

Countries around the world may boast of languages inherent to them alone, but the fact remains that if they do not do something about their own endangered languages, they may quietly go into extinction. There are many reasons why a certain language became endangered. It may be because the population who speaks the language is in physical danger due to natural disasters, war, and genocide but it can also be because the speakers are prevented from speaking the language due to political repression or cultural hegemony. Whatever the reason these are the 25 most endangered languages in the world.

It is estimated that there are 7,000 languages spoken in the world today with 50% of the world’s population speaking 50 languages and the other 50% speaking 6,950 languages. Mandana Seyfeddinipur explains how globalization, climate change, urbanization and political unrest are causing the extinction of languages at a rate equivalent to the loss of biological diversity during the mass extinction of the dinosaurs, and how this negatively impacts cultural diversity and decreases social resilience.
Mandana Seyfeddinipur is a linguist and the director of the Endangered Languages Documentation Programme at SOAS University of London. The programme supports the documentation of endangered languages world wide. Of the approximately 7000 languages spoken today half will have fallen silent by the end of this century. Humanity is losing its linguistic diversity and these unwritten languages are vanishing without a trace. In her work she focuses on the documentation of these languages and the knowledge encoded within them. A specialist in language use and multimodality she supports and trains scholars in how to create multi-media collection of endangered languages documenting the knowledge of our human cultural heritage encoded in language.

Music + language (songs) activate our brains, hearts and souls. By using songs, we can learn foreign languages and saved dying tongues.
This TEDxSantaCruz talk is one of 22 surrounding our theme of "Activate" at the third full-day TEDxSantaCruz event held March 8, 2014 at the Hotel Paradox in Santa Cruz, CA. http://www.tedxsantacruz.org/
Susanna Zaraysky speaks eight languages. She is the author of Language is Music (in English, Portuguese, Russian and Spanish) about how to use music & other media to learn foreign languages and the book, Travel Happy, Budget Low (a budget travel guide). The BBC, CBS, CNN, EFE, The Guardian, Univision and Telemundo have interviewed Susanna about how to improve foreign language education with music. She hosted her own segment in Spanish on the Al Despertar morning show on Univision San Francisco called "El idioma es música" where she taught English grammar and pronunciation via songs. She is the co-producer of the documentary, Saved by Language, about how a young Bosnian boy saved his life in the Holocaust by speaking Ladino. The US State Department has organized her presentations about language learning through music in Bosnia, Kyrgyzstan, Mexico, Qatar and Russia. http://createyourworldbook.com/

While there are nearly 7,000 languages, only 83 are used by a majority of the world's population. Researchers say many of the rest are in danger of disappearing, warning that perhaps half the world's native languages will no longer exist by the end of the century. David Harrison with the Living Tongues Institute for Endangered Languages says language extinction is a crisis of unprecedented proportions and he is trying to do something about it. VOA's Paul Sisco has more.

Language experts are gathering at a university in the UK to discuss saving the world's endangered languages. But is it worth keeping alive dialects that are sometimes only spoken by a handful of people?
Languages spoken in this video are: Irish Gaelic, Maori, Berber, Guernesiais, Welsh, Scots Gaelic, English and Manx

An endangered language is a language that is at risk of falling out of use. If it loses all its native speakers, it becomes a dead language. If eventually no one speaks the language at all, it becomes an "extinct language". The danger of extinction to any given language and the rapid increase in language extinction can be seen largely as a result of globalization and neocolonialism, where the economically powerful languages dominate other languages. This type of loss of language can be looked at in reference to Charles Darwin's theory of "survival of the fittest". The more commonly spoken languages dominate the less commonly spoken languages and therefore, the less commonly spoken languages eventually disappear from populations..
The total number of languages in the world is not known. Estimates vary depending on many factors. K. David Harrison, author of "When Languages Die", estimates 6,900 or so languages are spoken on the planet and that more than half of these languages are likely to become extinct over the next century. Harvey also notes that 95% of the world population speak just one or more of 400 languages, while the other 6,509 languages are unevenly distributed among the remaining 5% of the world population. Michael E. Krauss defines languages as "safe" if children will probably be speaking them in 100 years; "endangered" if children will probably not be speaking them in 100 years (approximately 60-80% of languages fall into this category); and "moribund" if children are not speaking them now.

Project Aims to Catalogue Endangered Languages
While there are nearly 7,000 languages, only 83 are used by a majority of the world's population. Researchers say many of the rest are in danger of disappearing, warning that perhaps half the world's native languages will no longer exist by the end of the century. David Harrison with the Living Tongues Institute for Endangered Languages says language extinction is a crisis of unprecedented proportions and he is trying to do something about it. VOA's Paul Sisco has more. -

Global Linguistic Diversity and the Endangered Languages Project :: IMUG 2015.02.19
The Endangered Languages Project: an online collaborative effort to protect global linguistic diversity Humanity is facing a massive extinction: languages are disappearing at an unprecedented pace. With every language that dies we lose an enormous cultural heritage, the testimony of centuries of life. The Endangered Languages Project is a collaborative initiative designed to facilitate the documentation and revitalization of at-risk languages around the world. The project was born out of the recognition that a platform was needed for language speakers, learners and advocates to share and access relevant information and resources. The result is a groundbreaking initiative that brings together a variety of diverse interests to promote this important work. Language communities and speakers... -
Revitalizing Endangered Languages - FINAL.mp4
In a recent study conducted by National Geographic, Interior Salish is a language family at the severe threat level for languages near extinction and one of the few hotspots of language endangerment across the world. The fact that Interior Salish spans several states and into international boarders with Canada makes language revitalization even more difficult. "Revitalizing Endangered Languages" is a short film, directed by Jake LaMere, that reflects on the Interior Salish languages, culture, and stories through interviews with elders, teachers, and youth at the 2010 Celebrating Interior Salish Conference, in an effort to raise awareness of the importance to revitalize the Interior Salish language group.

This video features clips from the documentary The Last Speakers, a documentary about endangered languages shown on PBS. These clips show people speaking endangered languages.
The first clip shows Johhny Hill speaking Chemehuevi, a Native American language near extinction. His grandmother spoke the language to him as he was growing up and now he is one of the last speakers. The Chemehuevi mostly live in Arizona.
The second clip is a story being told in Middle Chulym, a language that started to die out due to political reasons. In the 1940s, Joseph Stalin ordered Chulym children to attend boarding schools where instruction was in Russian. Chulym was regarded as a gutter language and the children stopped using it, for the most part.
The third clip is Una Rooi, a woman speaking Nǀu, a language that nearly died out in South Africa. The language is one that can immediately be recognized for its clicking sounds. Rooi says, "If a person who speaks our language dies, our language also dies."
The final clip shows a group of young people singing in Hawaiian, a language that was largely displaced by English after Hawaii was annexed by the United States in 1899 when the language was banned from schools. Efforts over the past few decades have been made to revitalize the language.

Rapid globalization and technology that brings majority world languages into minority language homes threatens the survival of the estimated 6,000 to 7,000 languages worldwide. Whether in Africa, Australia, the United States or beyond, tiny languages are endangered, with their survival often depending on the last elderly speakers. Europe's endangered Irish language is a great story of a language reviving its prospects, but success stories of languages renewed and reclaimed abound, such as the Wampanoag language, spoken by the tribe reputed to have celebrated the first Thanksgiving with the Pilgrims. The human spirit craves a connection to ancestors and the past, and heritage languages do just that, while breathing new life into the future.

Countries around the world may boast of languages inherent to them alone, but the fact remains that if they do not do something about their own endangered languages, they may quietly go into extinction. There are many reasons why a certain language became endangered. It may be because the population who speaks the language is in physical danger due to natural disasters, war, and genocide but it can also be because the speakers are prevented from speaking the language due to political repression or cultural hegemony. Whatever the reason these are the 25 most endangered languages in the world.

It is estimated that there are 7,000 languages spoken in the world today with 50% of the world’s population speaking 50 languages and the other 50% speaking 6,950 languages. Mandana Seyfeddinipur explains how globalization, climate change, urbanization and political unrest are causing the extinction of languages at a rate equivalent to the loss of biological diversity during the mass extinction of the dinosaurs, and how this negatively impacts cultural diversity and decreases social resilience.
Mandana Seyfeddinipur is a linguist and the director of the Endangered Languages Documentation Programme at SOAS University of London. The programme supports the documentation of endangered languages world wide. Of the approximately 7000 languages spoken today half will have fallen silent by the end of this century. Humanity is losing its linguistic diversity and these unwritten languages are vanishing without a trace. In her work she focuses on the documentation of these languages and the knowledge encoded within them. A specialist in language use and multimodality she supports and trains scholars in how to create multi-media collection of endangered languages documenting the knowledge of our human cultural heritage encoded in language.

While there are nearly 7,000 languages, only 83 are used by a majority of the world's population. Researchers say many of the rest are in danger of disappearing, warning that perhaps half the world's native languages will no longer exist by the end of the century.

While there are nearly 7,000 languages, only 83 are used by a majority of the world's population. Researchers say many of the rest are in danger of disappearing, warning that perhaps half the world's native languages will no longer exist by the end of the century. David Harrison with the Living Tongues Institute for Endangered Languages says language extinction is a crisis of unprecedented proportions and he is trying to do something about it. VOA's Paul Sisco has more.

The Endangered Languages Project: an online collaborative effort to protect global linguistic diversity
Humanity is facing a massive extinction: languages are disappearing at an unprecedented pace. With every language that dies we lose an enormous cultural heritage, the testimony of centuries of life.
The Endangered Languages Project is a collaborative initiative designed to facilitate the documentation and revitalization of at-risk languages around the world. The project was born out of the recognition that a platform was needed for language speakers, learners and advocates to share and access relevant information and resources.
The result is a groundbreaking initiative that brings together a variety of diverse interests to promote this important work. Language communities and speakers can play an active role in putting their languages online by submitting information or samples in the form of text, audio, links or video files.
Originally launched and developed with support from Google, the project is led by true experts in the field of language preservation, and is now overseen by the First Peoples' Cultural Council of Canada, Eastern Michigan University, and a governance council of language experts from around the globe.
This talk will discuss language loss and efforts to preserve and revitalize languages, and the role of EndangeredLanguages.com. We also discuss issues in supporting languages in online products.
About the Speakers:
Craig Cornelius is a member of the International Engineering group at Google, Inc., working with the Google Search, Gmail, Google Translate, and other projects. He continues his work with the Cherokee Nation, and has recently joined the Advisory Board of the Australian Research Council's Center of Excellence on the Dynamics of Language. He has held academic and industry positions over many years, but his Ph.D. in Chemistry has almost nothing to do with i18n.
Shay Boechler manages outreach efforts for the Endangered Languages Project on behalf of the First Peoples’ Cultural Council, where she previously served as FirstVoices Coordinator, conducting on-site training workshops on language archiving, and mentoring numerous community-based FirstVoices language administrators throughout Canada and more recently in Australia. Shay holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in Applied Linguistics from the University of Victoria.

In a recent study conducted by National Geographic, Interior Salish is a language family at the severe threat level for languages near extinction and one of the few hotspots of language endangerment across the world. The fact that Interior Salish spans several states and into international boarders with Canada makes language revitalization even more difficult.
"Revitalizing Endangered Languages" is a short film, directed by Jake LaMere, that reflects on the Interior Salish languages, culture, and stories through interviews with elders, teachers, and youth at the 2010 Celebrating Interior Salish Conference, in an effort to raise awareness of the importance to revitalize the Interior Salish language group.
