Threat to Indigenous Languages
The podcast highlights how social development and economic growth pose a threat to indigenous languages on the brink of extinction. The Chakalias, a tribal community in Kerala, are losing their mother tongue, Madhika, with only two fluent speakers left. Similarly, around 4,000 of the world's 6,000 documented languages are at risk of extinction. Economic development often leads to the dominance of a single language, marginalizing indigenous tongues and forcing communities to adopt the dominant language to survive economically and politically.
