Languages


  1. Name the country, language chosen & current status of that language
  2. Briefly research & summarize the people and culture of this language; citation as needed [give at least the source link so the quality may be evaluated]
  3. Describe & evaluate some evidence (e.g., historical, cultural, aesthetic) that you feel supports efforts to save the language. Give one link to evidence you find.
  4. Upload one image that reflects the language and culture; include or write a caption
1. Australia, Dhargari, 8a (Moribund) nearly extinct
2. I couldn't find anything about the culture of the people that speak the language but I found this book. http://www.aiatsis.gov.au/asp/aspbooks/languageculture.html
3.Well since I can't find anything about the language I don't really know what to say here. I think that it should be saved because only 6 people speak it. In my opinion every language holds and connects to culture so if it dies, a lot of culture will die with it. I already have a hard time finding anything about the language pertaining to its culture but that doesn't mean that it shouldn't be saved as a language. 
4.  this is a picture of Australia since I couldn't find anything that really depicts Dhargari. Dhargari is an Australian language.
