Language Survival

Language survival refers to the efforts of a language community to maintain and revitalize their language in the face of decline or extinction. This can happen due to factors such as globalization, migration, urbanization, and cultural assimilation, which can lead to the erosion of language use and transmission.
Language survival efforts typically involve a combination of grassroots activism, community-based language teaching and learning programs, policy and advocacy initiatives, and academic research and documentation. These efforts may be led by individuals or organizations within the community or may involve partnerships with external agencies and institutions.
Examples of language survival strategies include language immersion programs for children, adult language classes, language revitalization curricula in schools, language documentation and preservation initiatives, and efforts to promote the use of the language in public spaces and media.
Language survival is important because languages are not just systems of communication, but also bearers of cultural identity and knowledge. When a language is lost, so too is a unique worldview, history, and way of life. By supporting language survival efforts, we can help to ensure the preservation and celebration of linguistic and cultural diversity for future generations.
