Man awarded $1.2 million to document endangered Alaskan languages
Fairbanks, Alaska (ICC)
The preservation of an important record of the Atuuan dialect of the Aleut language rests on the shoulders of an 80-year-old man and his ability to recognize the language of his childhood on a dozen 100-year-old phonograph cylinders. Southern Tsimshian is nearly as close to the edge. A 94-year-old woman is the only known living speaker of the language. Eyak is another example. The last remaining speaker, Marie Smith Jones, passed away Jan. 21, an event that marks the extinction of her language. |
