I learn a little Greenlandic sometimes and I want to study it more in depth in the future.
You can reply if a native american language is your native language as well
7000.org has a lot of indigenous languages, mostly from the US and Canada.
Not indigenous American languages but I want to learn Gaeilge, my dad speaks it, but it’s not my focus right living in se asia
No but I want to learn whatever my ancestors in Mexico region were speaking.
With Mexico region do you mean central Mexico? Then maybe they were speaking Nahuatl
I don’t know for sure. My great grandma I met her is an indigenous Mexican lady. I will have to ask around.
Know a few words in Nahuatl thanks to grandma, she was Mixtec though, but was really guarded about her indigenous culture and language since she was taught to feel shame about it. Never actively learned more about it. I do find it interesting local indigenous language (live near a reservation but don’t want to dox myself) word for water is somewhat similar sounding to the Nahuatl word for fisher.
Resources for Mixteco (Tu’un Savi) language learning are gradually increasing. I don’t know how you feel about learning more about it given what you shared about your grandma, but it seems like more and more people are working on creating resources to teach and learn the language and to uplift it from the stigma that has been placed on it as a so-called “dialect” for so long. Here is one site about it if you are interested.
I wanted to learn either Lushootseed or Chinook Wawa, but theres not many resources out there…
I’d love to, but sadly the world will treat you better if you know a language that companies are interested in, so I’m learning Chinese, which is still pretty cool.
I want to learn Chinese too!
I know a small ittby bitty amount of Classical Nahuatl. It’s not a modern form of the language, but it’s still very interesting.
