Showing results for Language revitalization
The conference "Endangered languages. Comprehensive models for research and revitalization" was held in Wilamowice from 11 to 13 June, 2014.

Mirel Yolotzin García, from the organization Ávido Desarrollo Humano based in Mexico City, talks about a theatrical play in Nahuatl, developed within the framework of the project "Totlahtul Yultok" ("Our language lives"). The play, which involves puppets and actors, emphasizes the value of one's mother tongue and the consequences of losing it.
This paper presents our strategy for the revitalization of Nahuatl, taking as a point of departure a series of projects and activities we have been carrying out for the last several years.
