The Language Project Podcast
Come and take a listen to all the ways that language impacts our society! In this podcast we'll explore various topics related to language - everything from how it defines us as humans, how it manifests itself in our technology and our media and arts and impacts the way we think, and how its automation makes our lives easier but also brings its own set of ethical challenges. I'll be joined by many special guests whose own lives have been notably impacted by language, as well as experts in the field of linguistics.

I continue my conversation with Professor Cisneros as we delve further into his interest in minority languages such as Mixtec and Guaymi. We discuss the many reasons languages can become extinct, including globalization and colonialism. We also learn about the only language that has ever been truly revitalized! (Can you guess what it is?)
