Summary
The death of a language is not just a matter of day-to-day communication: the preservation of a people's culture depends on the preservation of their language. "If the language is lost, medicine, cuisine, stories, traditional knowledge are lost. Language involves the question of identity, knowledge of the forest, the bush, the animals", explains linguist Angel Corbera Mori, from the Institute of Language Studies, Unicamp.
