Session
Language revitalization is a crucial effort in preserving cultural identity and ensuring linguistic diversity in the digital age. In this panel, past and present Wikitongues Language Revitalization Fellows will share their experiences, challenges, and successes in documenting and revitalizing endangered languages. They will discuss strategies for sustaining their work, fostering community engagement, and leveraging Wikimedia projects and digital tools for long-term impact. Through their stories, this session will highlight the role of inclusivity in language preservation and the lasting impact of the Wikitongues fellowship. Aligned with Wikimania@20: Inclusivity, Impact, Sustainability, this panel will inspire new approaches to language revitalization within the Wikimedia movement and beyond. Join us as we work towards a world where every language has a voice in the open knowledge movement.
