Скачать или смотреть An act of cultural erasure 🚫

Silencing a group’s native language is more than erasure, it’s cultural geno$ide. Language carries identity, memory, and tradition. When it’s stripped away, generations lose a vital 🧠 connection to who they are.

Examples ⬇️

➡️ Boarding Schools in the U.S. 🇺🇸and Canada 🇨🇦

Indigenous children were forbidden 🚫 from speaking their languages, punished for words that carried centuries of wisdom.

➡️ The Suppression 🚫of Kurdish in Turkey 🇹🇷

For decades, speaking Kurdish was banned in public life, media, and schools , silencing millions.

➡️ Colonial Rule in Africa 🌍

European colonizers forced languages like French, English, and Portuguese onto African nations, marginalizing native tongues and reshaping cultural identity.

🗣️ Language is resistance.
📚 Language is legacy.
🧬 Protecting it is preserving humanity.
