丹尼爾‧柏格瑞‧烏德爾: 如何不使語言滅絕？

如何不使語言滅絕？

在接下來的八十年，有三千種語言可能會消失，而其整個文化將隨之靜謐消逝。在這場簡明的演說中，語言活動家丹尼爾‧柏格瑞‧烏德爾說明了世界各地的人們如何找到新方法來復興祖先的語言，重建他們的傳統，並鼓勵我們大家都去探究我們祖先的母語。他說：「復興你的語言，擁抱你的文化，這是一種維持真我的強大方式。」

Thousands of languages, and the cultures they carry, are at risk of disappearing within decades due to historic oppression and ongoing pressures. From Hebrew’s revival after a thousand years to Cornish and Tunica reemerging through community action and online networks, people are resisting cultural loss. Technology and grassroots efforts are making it possible for ancestral tongues to thrive again. Reclaiming language is not just preservation, but a declaration of cultural survival.
