                                                <p>When I learned that Buryat, the northern-Siberian language of 
my grandparents, was in danger of dying out, I knew then and there that I
 had to do something. But from a remote part of the Mongolian steppes, I
 felt powerless to act. I was lucky enough to come to the UK to study 
modern languages and subsequently focus on language policy and 
revitalisation during my master’s degrees.</p>
<p>5 years on, I am now founder and CEO of a newly-formed 
Cambridge-based EdTech startup, Tribalingual, which is pledged to rescue
 endangered languages from the brink of extinction. <a href="http://glossynews.com/society/human-interest/201609020544/why-im-on-a-mission-to-save-endangered-languages/#more-54949" class="gmail-more-link"><span class="gmail-continue">Read the full story</span></a></p>
