LIVE EVENT REPLAY — Preserving Endangered Languages

PRESERVING ENDANGERED LANGUAGES

At Shamans Directory we are committed to elevating, promoting, and celebrating all shamanic medicine and traditions from around the world. To do this means that we must also dedicate ourselves to preserving cultures, communities, languages, nature, and land.

More than 7000 languages are spoken worldwide. Nearly half of these languages are endangered. When you help a community protect their language, you aren’t just protecting words – you are protecting a cultural identity, spiritual traditions, and the well-being of real people.

7000 Languages creates free online language-learning courses, engaging children, elders and adults of all ages in indigenous, minority, and refugee communities to keep their languages alive. Find out how you can be a part of preserving the world's endangered languages. Learn about their brand-new app. Expand your awareness.

Correction: We expanded our awareness ... It is not the Inuit who have over 300 words related to snow, but the Scots! Amazing.
