In this enlightening discussion led by Bernat Bardagil, a linguist researching the endangered Manoki dialect from Ghent, Belgium, we will delve into the critical issue of language preservation. The loss of a language signifies more than just the disappearance of words—it represents a vanishing cultural heritage and shared social fabric. We will examine how losing languages limits our diverse perspectives and understanding of the natural, spiritual, and social worlds. As we lose linguistic diversity, the ways of interpreting reality also diminish. Join us to explore strategies for safeguarding linguistic heritage and to appreciate the richness that minority languages contribute to our human experience.
