I strongly believe that it is absolutely crucial to preserve languages.
I found the story of this language revival extremely interesting. However, this article did leave me with some questions. What is the practical use of this language? If no one can actually “speak” the language, doesn’t that defeat the purpose of having a language? It is great that a record and a dictionary are kept of this language but what about the culture that comes with the language? How will that be preserved? Can a culture be really “preserved”?
