This book argues that safeguarding linguistic diversity enriches global cultural heritage and knowledge. By meticulously documenting minority languages, we not only preserve words and grammar but also the unique cultural narratives they carry. The book also introduces new language learning paradigms that recognize the complexities of multilingual societies, advocating for educational systems that embrace the diverse linguistic backgrounds of students. These approaches aim to create more inclusive and effective learning environments by valuing multilingualism. Exploring the fluid nature of language identity, the book examines how sociopolitical contexts and technology influence it, calling for policies that respect linguistic rights and promote social cohesion. It presents case studies from diverse regions, including the Pacific, Nordic countries, Cornwall, Pakistan, the UAE, and more, offering practical strategies for language preservation and revitalization.
Groundbreaking insights into the use of digital tools, social media, and AI in language preservation, along with the challenges and successes of various revitalization efforts, make this book a valuable resource for researchers, educators, and policymakers committed to fostering linguistic diversity and equity worldwide.
