A relevant CBC article that came out today: '"You could say that the AI is inadvertently colonizing and hurting Indigenous language revitalization because [people] are taking information generated by an artificial intelligence and putting it out there for people to read," said Sherbert.'

The Alaska Native Language Center is facing extreme budget cuts, which will weaken language revitalization across the state, writes ELP board member Gary Holton:

‘[She] said words in the Han Gwich’in language that essentially mean, “We’re not a threat to you. Have mercy on us and leave us alone.” Her grandmother and other elders always told her that animals understand the Native language. “I’m glad I remembered that and that I knew those words,” she said.’

Good text that should help many people understand that it is generally not a very good idea.

We would like to congratulate our friends at the Endangered Languages Project ( @e-l-p.bsky.social ) on the launch of their annual report! #ELP is a nonprofit organization supporting the revitalization of Indigenous and endangered languages around the world. #AnnualReport #LanguageRevitalization

Wow - we're proud and honored that ELP Mentor @alexnicp.bsky.social's article "Taking the Train to Dublin City: A Journey to Speaking Irish in Ireland’s Capital" was the #3 most-read story in @smithsonianmag.bsky.social Folklife Magazine this year! 👏

Just TWO DAYS left to help us reach our goal - we only need $1,000 more to reach the bare minimum for Ready to Revitalize! Help more incredible grassroots language activists connect, learn, and develop fully funded community projects, like this one that bridged Māori and Breton communities:

What does language endangerment mean to the people experiencing it? Dr. Emmanuel Ngué Um reflects: "When languages, or language practices, are threatened, it is really a threat to human relationships: the ways of living and connecting that our ancestors developed and passed on to us."

Language champions from 18 countries will be joining the 2026 Ready to Revitalize program - and we have just TEN DAYS left to raise funds for their grassroots #languagerevitalization projects! 🌱 Will you support the revitalization of Indigenous and endangered languages around the world?

Indecisive on what to give your family and friends for Christmas? Instead of a hideous, dust-collecting, last minute seasonal decoration you should opt for a donation to Ready to Revitalize 2026 for supporting Indigenous communities worldwide! @e-l-p.bsky.social givebutter.com/elp2025

"The new monolingual Irish dictionary changes this paradigm. Instead of asking 'What's the English for X?', speakers will now be empowered to ask 'What does X mean?' in their own language.”

“Our language was not dead – it’d been asleep” Carl McGrady www.theguardian.com/news/2025/de...

In Brittany, families are coming together to raise a new generation of speakers of Brezhoneg, an endangered Celtic language. But they’re not doing it alone - they’re learning from their friends in the Māori revival movement. How did ELP’s Ready to Revitalize program help this happen? 🧵

This #GivingTuesday, you can support grassroots language revitalization all around the world! Your donation will help launch 20 language revitalization projects, like the Ayöök textbooks developed by 2025 Ready to Revitalize member Delfina Reyes Chávez: givebutter.com/elp2025

Citizen archivists are preserving South Asia’s oral traditions — folk songs, riddles, and histories — by recording, uploading, and transcribing them on Wikimedia platforms, challenging text-centric knowledge systems and reviving marginalized voices.

In this giving season, when funding for Indigenous languages and cultures is being slashed worldwide, YOU can help build a world where all language communities thrive! Support Ready to Revitalize 2026 and help launch 20 grassroots language revitalization projects: givebutter.com/elp2025

Excellent Mi’gmaq language flash card.
