LANGUAGE PRESERVATION
CAMPAIGN
«Don't let the voice
disappear»
Language is the voice of a people, its memory and soul. When a language disappears, the
world loses a unique perspective on the life of an entire people. The campaign unites young
people to preserve and revive the Ainu language — one of the most unique languages of
East Asia

The Ainu language:
voice of an
indigenous people
The Ainu are an indigenous
people of Japan, especially
the island of Hokkaido. Their
language has an unusual
sound,
rich
mythology,
legends and oral tradition.
