Classroom Project Rescues Disappearing Language
Kham Aid Foundation starts testing a new primer to teach Minyak to children. Two years ago the language did not even have a written form.
LOS ANGELES — April 25, 2009 — Thanks to a grant from the Genographic Legacy Fund, the Minyak language, once in danger of extinction, is now getting a new lease on life. A newly-drafted language primer is now being tested in four rural districts of Kangding (Tib: Dartsendo) county on the southeastern Tibetan plateau. A total of 123 children – youngsters whose parents grew up speaking the language but who are under increasing pressure to discard it – are now learning Minyak in school. And the primer is attracting interest from adults, too.
