Why cultural death is a shared loss | Inky Gibbens | TEDxCambridgeUniversity

By the end of the 21st century, little more than half of the languages spoken today are predicted to still be in use. By using technological innovation, we can preserve that heritage.
Gibbens is founder of the startup Tribalingual and hopes to explore the losses and changes of language in a globalised world in her talk.
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

Great help, I'm now able to finish my Anthropology paper on Cultural Loss, love the presentation.

[@doxanna1]

Thank you for your contribution to preserving Buryat language. Insightful lecture.

[@alsaulso1332]

love this and this is so true with Art, Culture, and Animals!! This needs to change!!

[@coreycox2345]

What an excellent idea. I have never thought of using the internet to preserve disappearing languages. Tolkien would have loved it.

[@suryanshbhadouria1292]

great insight into a very played down topic.kudos!

[@yiddzin7318]

It is very good, it is insightful, it is enlightening... I could fill a whole book with everything that this speech has taught me and made me feel!

Отличный разговор. Я все еще злюсь о библиотеке в Александрии.

Unfortunately, it seems that tribalingual went out of business. The website has expired and I can't find any app.

Bring in Soros and his cronies!

[@zurude]

Свист, о чем она базарит? Язык умирает потому, что Путин запретил изучать язык всем в Бурятии, а русские шовинисты прямо обвиняют сторонников преподавания бурятского языка в школах в национализме (им де бурятский и в язык не впился, он им не понадобится, зачем деточек перегружать)

[@coreycox2345]

Что вы подразумеваете под «запрещенным изучением языка»?

[@jashrunmasih3013]

first comment \m/ :D

[@barnasopron]

and human cultures lost, like they have been for 15000 years! And that is why you should learn the universal language of Esperanto!

[@petersaysthings]

Lmao no one uses Esperanto 😂

[@emanueleserafini1098]
