Language preservation refers to the efforts made to protect and maintain languages that are at risk of disappearing. Many languages, especially those spoken by small communities, face extinction as younger generations adopt more dominant languages. This can lead to the loss of unique cultural identities and knowledge embedded in these languages. Organizations and communities engage in various activities for language preservation, such as creating educational programs, documenting languages through recordings, and promoting their use in daily life. Initiatives often focus on languages like Native American languages or endangered languages worldwide, aiming to keep them alive for future generations.
