“When I die, I want to make sure that when my ancestors say to me: ‘Kia ora, nau mai, haere mai,’ I won’t say to them: ‘I’m sorry, but I can’t speak te reo.’” — Witi Ihimaera, on learning te reo at 80. #TeReo #TeReoMāori #Indigedon #LanguageReclamation #LanguageBack #Māori

Common mistakes in reo Māori - Siena Yates
One of the scariest things as a new learner of te reo Māori is speaking the reo out loud. What if you make a mistake? What if everyone laughs at you? What if you accidentally offend someone? What if you can never show your face at a reo class or marae ever again? #TeWikiOTeReoMāori #Māori #Indigenous #Indigedon #LanguageReclamation

I'm a #Linguist with research on Taiwanese (臺灣本土語言) language vitality and revitalisation. My broader interests include language policy and language management within multilingual contexts.
I speak a few #languages (listed in my profile), and trying to relearn my personal #HeritageLanguage (s) which I lost as I grew up.
Would love to connect with others who are involved with similar interests.

I have been remiss in posting here that the #Tunica Language Textbook is published and available for purchase![1] Here’s the press release.[2]
If this sort of book is up your alley, have a look at it (you can preview it on Google Books)[3] and let me know what you think. Advice is crucial, as we’re planning a second textbook.

LAKOTA LANGUAGE RECLAMATION PROJECT
Lakota elders helped a white man preserve their language. Then he tried to sell it back to them.
“No matter how it was collected, where it was collected, when it was collected, our language belongs to us," said Ray Taken Alive, a Lakota teacher.

Does anyone know where I can study/practice Inuktitut with other people online? I was taking classes last year, but they weren’t continued. I’m afraid I’ll lose what little I’ve learned. #Inuktitut #Inuit #Linguistics #Inuit #LanguageReclamation #decolonisation
Como parte de las actividades de revitalización y reclamo del zoque ayapaneco, estamos trabajando en distintos proyectos digitales, paralelo a otras acciones no digitales. En 2021 lazamos un bot en TW. En 2022, comenzamos los trabajos de una mediateca ayapaneca, que seguimos desarrollando aún. Y empezamos 2023 con el primer (no) Wordle ayapaneco.
Esperamos seguir con más proyectos en 2023-2024.
