Berkeley Breathes Life into Native Languages

3/16/2015; 2 minutes

The UC Berkeley Linguistics Department has led the way in the effort to document and preserve California's native languages. The Breath of Life Workshop for California Indian Languages is a biennial workshop designed for California Indians whose languages have no fluent speakers. The goal is for the participants to access, understand, and do research on materials on their languages, and to use them for language revitalization. (#29321)
