Speakers of ILARA
Speakers of ILARA offers filmed creations, interviews or original reports, produced by or in collaboration with speakers of these rare languages, which highlight those who practice them.
This series is one of the formats offered on the YouTube channel of ILARA Online, the virtual branch of the Institute for Linguistic Heritage and Diversity. It explores languages that are little described, little studied, little spoken, or disappeared.
