  1. At the world's edge, archaeologists are uncovering entire lost languages. The excavation of a forgotten language highlights how deeply intertwined language is with cultural identity. These findings reveal the resilience of human expression, even in extreme environments. It’s a reminder that language, like archaeology itself, offers clues to how societies shaped their world.

  4. Journalists seem to love writing about the revival of the Yiddish language among younger people.

    They've been writing articles about this sudden and new Yiddish Revival since around 1968... which seems a long time to treat something as surprising and new (or, for that matter, as a revival). Also, does "revival" truly apply if the language in question never fell out of daily use in some communities?

    I'm glad for the media coverage, but there's something a bit off about it. #LanguageRevival

  5. Today is the first day of #Tunica language & culture summer camp, the first in-person camp since 2019. It’s been a while since I taught the language, having spent the last couple of years immersed in analysis of the documentation. I’m looking forward to getting back to engaging with the language in the present!

    Also looking forward to seeing how much the kids I remember have grown and inevitably feeling old as a result. 👴
