Recovering sleeping languages

Promoting use of lesser known languages
Reviving minority languages
Supporting lesser used languages

Description

Recovering sleeping languages involves systematically revitalizing languages no longer spoken in daily life by documenting existing knowledge, developing learning resources, training new speakers, and integrating the language into community activities and education. This strategy addresses the loss of cultural identity and knowledge by enabling intergenerational transmission, fostering community engagement, and supporting institutional recognition, thereby remedying the erosion of linguistic diversity and empowering communities to reclaim and sustain their linguistic heritage.
