Preserving, documenting, and revitalizing surviving dialects and endangered local languages safeguards the world's cultural and linguistic diversity. As globalization, migration, and technological dominance accelerate the decline of smaller language communities, expressions of identity, history, and knowledge face extinction. Through documentation, revitalization efforts, and the integration of modern technologies, linguists and local speakers can work together to ensure language preservation. Protecting endangered languages may help to further maintain intellectual heritages and worldviews embedded in everyday languages. Preserving, Documenting, and Revitalizing Surviving Dialects and Endangered Local Languages explores at-risk languages and dialects, mapping the distribution of these languages, delving into their linguistic features, and examining the sociocultural and historical factors contributing to their endangerment. It combines linguistic research with anthropological insights, highlighting ongoing efforts to preserve, document, and revitalize these languages. This book covers topics such as endangered languages, linguistic diversity, and anthropology, and is a useful resource for sociologists, linguists, historians, academicians, researchers, and scientists.
