Every language carries a unique way of seeing the world.
Māori “kaitiakitanga” expresses our responsibility to care for nature for generations to come.🌱
The @UNESCO-led @ILDecade reminds us: when a language is lost, knowledge can be lost too.

Proud to see @UNESCOperu showcasing efforts to safeguard the language, culture and history of the Taushiro people.
Protecting Indigenous languages means preserving knowledge, identity and cultural diversity for future generations.
A powerful contribution to the @ILDecade.

Katisha Star Rose Paul - also known as Kwikws l̲vs̲áos (Little Angel) - from the Tsartlip and Lil'wat First Nations opens #UNPFII25 with a paddle song.
The song recognizes the journey that we are all on together and provides strength to #IndigenousPeoples.

📍Yaeda Chini Valley, 🇹🇿
When the Hadzabe told @UNESCO their language & knowledge were disappearing, we listened.
Our training is helping revive ancestral tracking skills, & teaching youth to record them with digital tools for biodiversity protection.

At a time when over 40% of the world’s languages are at risk of disappearing, most of them Indigenous, the @ILDecade is a global call to action.
Ahead of #IndigenousPeoplesDay, listen to Baldomero Cuma Chávez’s powerful message about Kaqchikel, a Mayan language that we must preserve for future generations.

Just concluded the #IGF session “It’s not just the tech,” exploring barriers to Indigenous language tech and AI uptake. I shared UNESCO’s view: inclusive, ethical, community-driven tools are vital to preserving #IndigenousLanguages in the digital age. #IDIL @ILDecade

En el Día Mundial de la Diversidad Cultural para el Diálogo y el Desarrollo, celebramos las múltiples formas de expresión que enriquecen nuestro mundo.
Una de ellas es el Kaqchikel, que en Guatemala sigue vivo gracias a personas como Kawoq.
