NY Times

United States is the most multicultural country and New York City is known as home to one of the most ethnically diverse population. In this article are mentioned the spoken languages in New York City, also the dying languages. Professor Daniel Kaufman started the project “endangered language alliance” to identify and record dying languages. Some of the languages found in New York City are Vlaski, Mamuju, Aramaik, Chaldik, Mandaik, Bukhari, Chamorro, Irish Gaelic, Kashubian, indigenous Mexican languages, Pennsylvania Dutch, Romany and Yiddish. When the language is not carried on to the next generations, then the language dies and the culture gets lost through the decades. From this article I learned that the Vlaski language is dying which I really didn’t realize that since my mother speaks that language. I know that the language is very important to every person because knowing a specific language helps families and relatives connect to each others.
