Abstract
Yes, the overall picture for indigenous language preservation is pretty bleak. But some highly driven people using modern technology are refusing to let some languages die. We’ll hear about the work of the World Oral Literature Project, which started in Nepal. And also Miromaa—a software program developed in Newcastle which is being used by indigenous communities around the world. For the whole programme, see URL accessed week of 12/03/2012: http://www.abc.net.au/radionational/programs/futuretense/a-new-voice-for-22dying22-languages/3886306
