The project 'Engaged humanities in Europe: Capacity building for participatory research in linguistic-cultural heritage' (ENGHUM) aims at strengthening scientific and innovation capacity as well as social impact of the Faculty of "Artes Liberales" of the University of Warsaw in the field of participatory action research in linguistic-cultural heritage and revitalization of endangered languages. It is carried out through a set of knowledge transfer, training, promotion, coordination and support activities with the Department of Linguistics of the School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London (SOAS) and Leiden University’s Centre for Linguistics (Faculty of Humanities) and Department of Archaeological Heritage (Faculty of Archaeology).
I could understand most of this; her speaking took me immediately back nearly 40 years to when I worked on farms in Bavaria where the people around me, especially the older ones, spoke exclusively Bavarian dialects. Much of it sounded very similar.
One of the best examples of linguistic-cultural survival I have learned about, apart from comparable efforts to revive American Indigenous peoples' languages. Bravo to all involved! Carolyn Fluehr-Lobban, American anthropologist (thanks to Robert Borges for sharing).
I wasn't expecting to find much about Wymysorys, especially not in English. Very interesting this is, but could someone please give English subtitles, it's hard to make out what he's saying sometimes. Also, Polish and Wymysorys would be good also.
Thank you so much for this. I just wish there were English subtitles added to the video. By the way, congratulations for the wonderful selection of musical background!
