About the Class
In this class, we will grow in our capacity to understand, speak, and write in Lingít. We will study written speeches and recordings, practice greeting each other and speaking from the heart while honoring culture and our linguistic fluency. Our long-term goal is to foster respectful engagement with other Lingít speakers as each of us work together to help revitalize and preserve the Lingít language. As a team we will use resources available to us and find our voices in the language. Lingit is a complex language with 58 letters and about 30 sounds that are not found in English. Four of those sounds are not found in any language in the world.

Gunalchéesh language revitalization partners Discovery Southeast and KTOO for continued support of this program. We appreciate you!
