A note on Google’s Endangered language home page

selchieproductions:

I think it is of utmost importance that we flood this page with material from within our communities, produced by members from our communities - I am tired of seeing white academia misrepresent minority cultures, whether indigenous, endangered or not.

OVERUSE the submit function.

Apparently South Saami is also known as West Lappish. LOL NOPE I HAVE NEVER USED A RACIST SLUR TO REFER TO MY OWN LANGUAGE SO FUCK OFF.

Apparently we’re 600 native speakers now.

LOVELY, WHEN DID THE NUMBERS CHANGE, LAST TIME A CHECK WAS DONE THERE WERE LESS THAN 300 NATIVE SPEAKERS.

Apparently we use the Skolt Saami name for our own language.

IS IT BECAUSE IT INCLUDES AN A WITH A HALO (LEGIT LINGUISTIC NAME, PROMISE) AND AN I WITH A TREMA THAT YOU CAN’T WRITE ÅARJELSAEMIENGÏELE

Over and out.

London says hi by the way, everyone in this city is a stressed beast and needs to chill the fuck out.
