Why I think it’s important to preserve Indigenous languages

Why I think it’s important to preserve Indigenous languages.

I think it’s important to preserve Indigenous languages because by cutting them off we are losing connections with the aboriginals.

Most indigenous people relate to a traditional language. With aboriginals the language name is often the same as the tribe name.

Cultural knowledge is passed down the generations by traditional language.

Why I think it’s important to preserve indigenous language

Hi Bloggers, Bill here,

Part of this week’s homework is for us to answer this question: Why do you think it’s important to preserve Aboriginal language.  These are my reasons why I think it’s  important to preserve Aboriginal language.  Reason 1 is that most of the people that live in Australia now, weren’t actually there before, whether it was there parents that came here, or even ancestors, we weren’t always here, but the aborigines have always lived here, and we all just decided we’d live here, so this land doesn’t belong to us, and yet the aborigines let’s us live here, so we have to help the Aboriginals survive, we should help them too!  Finally reason 2 is it’s not too late to do the right thing!  even though we have helped decrease numbers of the aborigines, we can help by protecting them, teaching and learning about them, and knowing that the Aborigines live in our world, we can all make a difference by helping the Aborigines.

 

Well unfortunately that’s all for today, I hope you enjoyed my post.
