Digital technologies and the preservation of endangered languages

Scientists believe that social networking sites, Facebook, and YouTube, and mobile phone short messages, will be the savior for many of the world's languages ​​in Danger of Disappearing.Of the 7,000 languages ​​spoken by inhabitants of the land now, it is expected by the end of the extinction of half of this century.The blame in this is usually to the phenomenon of globalization, but some aspects of the modern world, especially digital technology, refuted the charge.Tribes in North America, for example, used the means of social networking to attract young people into their mother tongue.And the language of "Tufan" - endangered - spoken by nomads in Siberia and Mongolia, invented the sons of your iPhone application to teach the pronunciation of words for new students.Another aspect of globalizationSays David Harrison, assistant professor of linguistics at Swarthmore College and a member of the National Geographic Society, "small languages ​​are used and the means of social communication, such as YouTube and SMS, and other technologies, to expand the proliferation of voices and the preservation of its existence."Called Harrison on this "other face of globalization," he says, "We hear much about the negative effects of globalization in terms of integration into the cultures of small. But the positive impact of globalization is that it can find the language spoken by five or fifty people only in a remote location, but this language can, through access to digital technology throughout the world, and have listeners in the world. "Has been able to Harrison, who is touring the world in search of speakers languages ​​facing extinction, to complete the eight-language dictionaries for a number of those languages.The dictionaries that contain more than 32 thousand for the entrance of eight languages ​​threatened with extinction. All inputs have been recorded by native speakers of those languages, some of them - such as Alfred Lin to be - among the few remaining sons of those languages.Lin and speaks the language known as "Sayelts de ni" does not exceed the scope of use of a small area in central Oregon coast.Lin said before the meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science "came linguists and declared to us that our language is dying, and it is on its way to the ashes of history. But the people decided not to happen. That is why we plan to start teaching the dialect here in the valley Sayelts."Lin and sat down and scored 14 thousand words to the dictionary online. Lynn says "Nothing compensates standing speakers when they speak the language to other language, but like this dictionary fills a gap that we feel our tribe and our community in need."Margaret says Nuri, an expert in American Studies at the University of Michigan local, which speak a language known as "Onychenabimoan" the national language of the nation two hundred in Canada and the United States, the people of these nations use Facebook heavily.Nouri said "What do new technologies, is to connect people to each other, in order to preserve the language."Remember knowledgeAccording to Harrison, not all languages ​​can be kept alive, I must lose some of them die when the speakers who are still alive.But he believes that modern digital tools provide a way to move away from the brink of many languages ​​that seemed doomed to extinction a few years ago.Harrison said the heart of the BBC "everything people know about the planet, plants, animals, and how to survive, and the ecosystems that have helped man to survive, all of this knowledge found in human culture and languages, but few of them only exist in the research scientific."If we care about the survival and the continuation of life on our planet, we all we will benefit from this knowledge if you save."
