According to UNESCO, nearly a third of 7000 languages spoken around the world are endangered. More than 15% of all languages have less than 1000 speakers. With each language that goes extinct, humanity loses a bit of its rich history. To learn more about these languages and to do his part to spread awareness, Sohum Sukhatankar set out on a journey one summer across three states in Northeast India. Join him as he encounters a melting pot of people and cultures in this remote part of the world where dozens of endangered languages are spoken. Sohum outlines his steps and impressions as he travels across the lands and paints a vivid yet realistic picture of his encounters. While efforts are being made by the younger generation to revive languages in some instances, the preservation of endangered languages in
this region remains an uphill battle. Sohum captures some of the progress made to this end and the challenges faced. Hear him recount his meeting firsthand with many activists who undertook the difficult yet necessary endeavor of preserving their own languages. Written from the perspective of a high school teenager making his way to connect with local tribes, this book explores the alarming issue of language extinction and why we must act with urgency to preserve some of the world's most threatened cultures.
