History

Language Matters asks: What do we lose when a language dies? What does it take to save a language? Language Matters was filmed around the world: on an island off the coast of Australia, where 400 Aboriginal people speak 10 different languages, all at risk; in Wales, where Welsh, is today making a comeback; and in Hawaii, where a group of Hawaiian activists are fighting to save their native tongue.
