How social media is reviving unwritten languages in Bhutan
The rich cultural heritage and linguistic diversity, which were at risk of extinction due to lack of written script, have seen a grand revival with the help of social media, especially voice messages, Bhutan Live reported. The Kingdom of Bhutan, a land steeped in rich cultural heritage and linguistic diversity, lies in the heart of the Himalayas, nestled amidst towering mountains and breathtaking landscapes.
While the official language of Bhutan is Dzongkha, the country boasts a multitude of unwritten local languages, each carrying a unique melody and a deep connection to the land and its people.
But the lack of a written script and proper documentation has left these languages vulnerable to the tides of time, facing the risk of extinction.
Now, in the age of social media, a beacon of connectivity and cultural preservation has re-emerged.
