#introduction

I'm a #PhD candidate in #Linguistics researching Taiwanese (臺灣本土語言) language vitality and revitalisation. Currently focusing on #Tâi-gí ( #台語 #台語文 ).

I speak a few #languages (listed in my profile), and trying to relearn my personal #HeritageLanguage (s) which I lost as I grew up.

Fairly new to this type of social-networking and 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.

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.

The world of #Algonquian languages lost a great speaker of #Potawatomi last week. It’s been days and I can’t properly articulate my emotions. He was so patient and kind and hilarious and intelligent. A reminder that when I say I work with #language, what I mean is that I work with people. #LanguageReclamation #LanguageRevitalization #LanguageDocumentation #linguistics

Following yall and pinning the local time line in Tootdon! super down to see all these #indigenous #languages fill my time lines!
