In this video, Eva Salgado and Frida Villavicencio discuss the importance of preserving indigenous languages. They offer advice on how to create an effective educational material, which should be an interdisciplinary project involving teachers, not just linguists, programmers, or designers. It is also important to involve native speakers in the design process, as this is what gives the material authenticity.

  • 00:00:00 Today's guests are two expert researchers on the preservation of indigenous languages. Frida Villavicencio is a doctor in linguistics from the School of Mexico City and a member of the National Research System Level 2, and Eva Salgado Andrade is a doctor in Hispanophone linguistics from the University of Mexico and a member of the System of National Researchers. They'll be discussing the challenges indigenous languages face and some of the options available to enrich and preserve them. Additionally, they'll be discussing the relationship between language and culture, and the importance of treating indigenous languages as an entire language system. Two expert researchers on the preservation of indigenous languages will be talking with us today about the challenges and diversity of indigenous languages around the world. They'll also be discussing the importance of treating indigenous languages as an entire language system, and the relationship between language and culture.
  • 00:05:00 The speaker discusses the importance of preserving indigenous languages and cultures, and how multidisciplinary work is necessary to understand this issue. They mention their laboratory as a space where linguists, anthropologists, historians, and experts in education come together to study and address language. They discuss the importance of dialects, and how they are not the same as languages. They also mention that any spoken language is a system of communication, and that the Spanish language is the best example. They go on to say that dialects are a specific way of speaking a language, and that they are a product of the language's verbal system. They also mention that statistics can be misleading, and that it is important to look at language as a whole, not just dialects. Lastly, they mention that there is a danger of people underestimating the importance of indigenous languages by thinking that dialects are like languages.
  • 00:10:00 The video discusses the importance of preserving indigenous languages, with Eva Salgado and Frida Villavicencio. Spanish is a recognized language with many dialects, and the way people in different parts of Mexico talk differs quite a bit. For example, people in Monterrey, Sinaloa, Hermosillo, and Yucatan speak Spanish, but their dialects are still understood. Within Mexico City, there are also specific dialects that are understood by certain groups of people, like norteño (from the north of Mexico), piteno (a type of Mexican accent), and seriál (from the state of Sonora). Languages are important not just for communication, but for conveying our thoughts and understanding the world around us. Unfortunately, many indigenous languages are in danger of disappearing, due to a number of factors, including but not limited to the fact that many people no longer speak them fluently, and that they are not written or understood as easily as other languages. There are also rights associated with being a native speaker of a language, such as the right to keep and use it, even if it is no longer spoken by a majority of the population. The video discusses the issue of endangered languages in
  • 00:15:00 In their work on preserving indigenous languages, Eva Salgado and Frida Villavicencio mention a project to bring indigenous languages to primary education. One way to do this would be to create multimedia materials in indigenous languages for children, which could include books, videos, and games. This is an important issue, as children who grow up speaking indigenous languages may not have access to them anymore when they reach adulthood. Eva Salgado and Frida Villavicencio's work in this area is important, as it provides suggestions for creating multimedia programs that will be useful for children and elders alike.
  • 00:20:00 The video discusses the importance of preserving indigenous languages, with Eva Salgado and Frida Villavicencio. They offer advice on how to create an effective educational material, which should be an interdisciplinary project involving teachers, not just linguists, programmers, or designers. It is also important to involve native speakers in the design process, as this is what gives the material authenticity. The talk focused on the Purépecha language, which is in danger of dying out. The experts consulted said that family life is important to the Purépecha people, and that teachers need to learn about the culture of the students they are teaching in order to create materials that are relevant and useful. They also discussed the digital divide affecting indigenous populations, and how opening new spaces for indigenous languages will help to preserve them. The speakers recommended that teachers use indigenous languages in their classrooms, in addition to Spanish, to help students feel more connected to their culture.
  • 00:25:00 Eva Salgado and Frida Villavicencio talk about the importance of preserving indigenous languages, and how the school environment is generally where the majority of interaction takes place in Spanish. They also discuss how technology affects communication between speakers of different languages, with 70% of internet interaction taking place in English around the world, and how this applies to indigenous languages. They also talk about the development of bilingual and intercultural educational materials in recent years, and how this has been a political and educational goal for some decades. However, there is still a lack of understanding among teachers of indigenous languages about the difference between bilingual and intercultural education, and the impact that individual writers and editors of indigenous language texts may have.
  • 00:30:00 The video features Eva Salgado and Frida Villavicencio discussing the importance of preserving indigenous languages. Salgado explains that there are now 68 indigenous languages in Mexico, and that it is important to create bilingual books in order to help these languages thrive. Villavicencio shares her experience translating a Purépecha text into Spanish. The pair ends the video by discussing one of Salgado's proposed education initiatives--an interactive bilingual book project aimed at teaching indigenous languages to children from preschool through elementary school.
  • 00:35:00 Eva Salgado and Frida Villavicencio talk about the importance of preserving indigenous languages, with Frida noting that it is estimated that there are now 68 indigenous languages still in existence, up from the original 66. They discuss how their recent work developing multimedia versions of indigenous language learning games has led to other ideas, such as creating awareness of indigenous languages among those in charge of their preservation. They also mention that indigenous language speakers need to be able to use both their native language and the dominant language fluently in order to be effective teachers. The video ends with a discussion of how indigenous languages are still being lost, even though more and more people are learning them. It raises the question of who should be responsible for their preservation - indigenous speakers or those who learn them primarily through English education?
  • 00:40:00 Eva Salgado and Frida Villavicencio discuss the importance of preserving indigenous languages, with emphasis on developing methods to teach these languages to schoolchildren. They share their thoughts on the difficulty of translating cultural concepts into another language, as well as the need for funding to make this a reality. They also discuss the normativ
  • 00:45:00 The video features Eva Salgado and Frida Villavicencio discussing the importance of teaching indigenous languages, specifically Purépecha, to children in schools. David Chavez Rivadeneira, who was Eva Salgado's professor at the University, emphasized the importance of teaching these languages even if they originate from non-indigenous communities. This is because they are all part of a "multilingual universe" and can be useful in understanding one's pre-Hispanic culture. The discussion touches on the importance of forgiveness and preserving indigenous cultures, and concludes with a question about the appropriateness of teaching multiple indigenous languages to children of all backgrounds. This topic is complex and fraught with difficulty, but it is essential if the indigenous languages and cultures of Mexico are to be preserved.
  • 00:50:00 In this video, Eva Salgado and Frida Villavicencio talk about the importance of preserving indigenous languages, and how they've been working to promote this cause in their own community. They mention that there is a natural tendency for languages to merge together, and that the role of the official language can play a significant role in this process. They also discuss the importance of teaching indigenous languages to children, and how their project is helping to make this happen.
  • 00:55:00 In this video, Eva Salgado and Frida Villavicencio talk about the preservation of indigenous languages, and how one way to do this is by teaching two indigenous languages or dialects in school. However, diversity is not being upheld, as many people are surprised that children are taught in English instead of their indigenous languages. This is happening because, for example, nobody is surprised when kids want to attend a bilingual school, and so they learn English instead. Later, Villavicencio discusses how the youth are speaking only Spanish and how this is a problem because it means that the indigenous language is being lost among its speakers. This issue is not just affecting the indigenous community, but also the descendants of indigenous people, who are ignoring their ancestors' musical traditions in favor of more contemporary forms of music. Finally, Villavicencio asks the audience to think about ways to preserve indigenous languages in the city of Mexico, not just with children, but also with the adults who have been marginalized from speaking them.
