UN sets 10-year plan to save endangered languages

UNITED NATIONS, 19 December 2022, (TON): The United Nations on Friday launched the International Decade of Indigenous Languages aimed at helping peoples around the world to keep their mother tongues alive.

UN General Assembly President Csaba Korosi said “preserving their languages is “not only important for them, but for all humanity.”

He said “with each indigenous language that goes extinct, so too goes the thought: the culture, tradition and knowledge it bears. That matters because we are in dire need of a radical transformation in the way we relate to our environment.”
