Language at risk of dying out – the last two speakers aren't talking
I think its horrible when governments refuse to allow children to lean and speak their indigenous language. It's a form of forced acculturation that is unnecessary and cruel. The damage done is so far reaching both into the past and the future. It cuts people off from their heritage and their ancestors, and once gone a language is almost impossible to regain unless it has been written down. Thankfully Dr. Daniel Suslak is trying to save this language from diapering for ever.
