With the first endangered language of the year done, it’s time to move onto the second: Ainu. This language is definitely going to be an interesting challenge, mostly due to its severe lack of (English-based) resources—so I’m interested to see…
I’m at the end of my study time for my first endangered language of the year—which means it’s time to move onto something new! But first, what have I managed to learn in just eighteen days? How do I feel…
