The Last Speaker of Kusunda
18 August 2021

Tim Bodt (SOAS University of London)

Abstract: Imagine you are the last speaker of your language, a language that has no known relatives in the world. That is the situation that Kamala Sen Kusunda, last speaker of the Kusunda language of Nepal, finds herself in. This webinar will introduce the language and the people and describe the current attempts to promote Kusunda as a living language.
