<p><div>A matéria, abaixo, publicada no <em>Telegraph</em> (Londres) do último dia 24 de agosto, menciona uma língua amazônica: o Barasana</div>
<div> </div>
<div><a href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/education/6081874/Dying-languages-archived-for-future-generations.html">http://www.telegrap<wbr>h.co.uk/educatio<wbr>n/6081874/<wbr>Dying-languages-<wbr>archived-<wbr>for-future-<wbr>generations.<wbr>html</a> </div>

<div> </div>
<div><strong>Dying languages archived for future generations</strong></div>
<div><strong></strong> </div>
<div><em>A Cambridge University project to safeguard the world's 6,000 spoken languages has been launched after it emerged half could die out within a generation.</em></div>
<div> </div>
<div>
<p>The World Oral Literature Project aims to help cultures under threat from globalisation create lasting records of their native languages. </p>
<p>Still in its inaugural year, the project led by Cambridge University's Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology, has already handed out around 10 grants to tribes from Mongolia to Nigeria - and the researchers admitted traditional British languages such as Cornish and Gaelic are also at risk. </p>
<p>Experts are encouraging native people and anthropologists to capture myths, folk songs chants and poems in their dying languages through multi-media tools. </p>
<p>The collected oral literature is being compiled into a digital archive that can be accessed on demand and will make the "nuts and bolts" of lost cultures readily available. </p>
<p>One project involved making recordings of ceremonial chantings of the Barasana language, spoken by just 1,890 people in the Vaupés Region of Colombia. </p>
<p>Another grant paid to archive the vocal repertoire of Tashi Tsering, the royal singer of Lo Monthang region in Mustang, Nepal. </p>
<p>Only 7,500 speak the Lowa language but researchers managed to record, translate and transcribe 51 songs from the orally transmitted Kha Lu repertoire. </p>
<p>Of the world's 6,000 natural languages, half will probably not survive for another generation. </p>
<p>For many communities the transmission of oral literature, through ritual texts, songs, word games and historical narrative, lies at the heart of cultural practice. </p>
<p>But drastic socio-economic change and the rise of more dominant global cultures are disrupting the transfer of native languages and risk annihilating them completely. </p>
<p>Project leader Dr Mark Turin, a research associate in social anthropology, said the issue of protecting endangered languages was beginning to resonate with the public. </p>
<p>Dr Turin, of Cambridge University's Department of Social Anthropology, said: "When a language becomes endangered so too does a cultural world view. </p>
<p>"We want to engage with indigenous people trying to document their myths and folklore, which can be harder to find funding for if you are based outside Western universities. </p>
<p>"If you are a Himalayan tribesman you are might not have access to a video camera to record your shaman and elders. </p>
<p>"It's often the vernacular traditions of communities living on the margins of nation states that are most at risk. </p>
<p>"By supporting communities to document their own cultures for the future, and through working with engaged and committed scholars, our project is responding to this urgent challenge." </p>
<p>Dr Turin said the project was concentrating on non-Western cultures where natural disasters, famine and unstable government put indigenous languages at greater risk. </p>
<p>But he admitted traditional British languages such as Cornish and Gaelic were also under threat. </p>
<p>He said: "People often think it's often only tribal cultures that are under threat. </p>
<p>"But all over Europe there are pockets of traditional communities and speech forms that have become extinct. </p>
<p>"It is the domain of stronger nation states with better resources to look after their own indigenous tongues, through Welsh language TV and Breton literature. </p>
<p>"Given our small team we are focusing on the indigenous people who do not have the funding to help themselves." </p>
<p>The first batch of archives material includes a recording of folk music of the Lo Monthang region, Nepal, and ceremonial chanting in the Vaupés Region of Colombia. </p>
<p>While funding is already secure for next year, the £100,000 pilot project is currently seeking sustainable long-term grants to make it a permanent fixture in the University's research agenda. </p></div>
