Globalization, with its emphasis on dominant languages and cultures, has led to the decline of many minority languages.

Language endangerment typically leads to negative consequences, such as cultural loss and erosion of identity, not increased economic opportunities.

Approximately half of the world's languages are considered endangered, facing the risk of extinction.

Asia is home to a large number of endangered languages due to its linguistic diversity and the influence of dominant languages.

The loss of traditional knowledge is closely linked to language endangerment, as languages carry cultural practices, beliefs, and knowledge systems.

Language endangerment affects the transmission of traditional knowledge in multiple ways, including disrupting communication, leading to cultural loss, and hindering documentation.

Revitalizing endangered languages requires a multifaceted approach, including promoting multilingual education, encouraging language use in various domains, and supporting community-based efforts.

Mitigating the loss of traditional knowledge involves a combination of documentation, intergenerational transfer, cultural promotion, and community engagement.

Preserving traditional knowledge has multiple benefits, including promoting cultural diversity, providing insights into sustainable living, and offering potential solutions to current challenges.

UNESCO is actively involved in promoting language diversity and revitalization through various initiatives and programs.

Indigenous communities play a multifaceted role in preserving traditional knowledge, including holding and transmitting knowledge, documenting and revitalizing languages, and promoting cultural practices.

Technology offers various opportunities for preserving and revitalizing traditional knowledge, including documentation, resource creation, and online knowledge sharing.

Revitalizing endangered languages faces challenges such as resource constraints, negative attitudes, and limited opportunities for language use.

Documenting traditional knowledge has multiple benefits, including preserving cultural heritage, providing research resources, and contributing to sustainable practices.

Education plays a crucial role in promoting language diversity and revitalization by promoting multilingualism, providing language learning opportunities, and raising awareness about language preservation.
