Languages are rapidly disappearing. More specifically, the indigenous languages of Taiwan are disappearing. By definition, languages disappear because they are less and less reliably acquired by younger generations. In a sense, the solution is simple: teach the younger generations the languages. In practice, the problem is more complex. The one method that we know reliably results in fluent speakers of a language is to raise them in homes that speak the target language and in communities where the language is widely-used and high-status. Unfortunately, this method is not available for under-resourced, endangered languages such as the indigenous languages of Taiwan. |
