Can You Lose Your Native Tongue?
by New York Times
Does embracing a new language enrich our identity or dilute it? Are we giving ourselves with a multitude of voices, or are we inadvertently silencing parts of who we are?


The Languages Lost to Climate Change
by Noēma Magazine
Words that once vividly described familiar conditions are fading into obsolescence, and younger generations are losing touch with the rich vocabulary that embodies
their heritage. This loss is more than the disappearance of words; it’s the erosion of unique perspectives and the wisdom embedded within the language.

The 10 selected articles offer a deep dive into how communities are fighting to preserve their languages, from Peru’s Quechua rappers reclaiming their indigenous roots through hip-hop to Kazakhstan’s ambitious alphabet transition as a decolonization effort. Whether it’s the fading Cypriot-Maronite Arabic, the resilience of Māori in New Zealand, or the linguistic erosion in Russia, each story sheds light on the urgent need to protect and revitalize the voices that define the world we live in.
