this breaks my heart. somebody get linguists there. a huge dictionary and record everything, this needs to be translated and preserved. i think there is nothing as devastating and as terrible as an extinct language. it is the greatest, the most incredible and the most wonderful and the most magnificent, most important thing a civilisation can have. nothing is as fascinating or as important. we cannot lose another language, we need to honour the people that came up with it.

It's sad. it's sad in general how people are. Not all. Just some.
It's really disturbing to know so many languages died because of cultures not accepting one another. Instead we try to force language or religion until we all do the same. We are all different, let us speak how we want, and let us believe what we believe in. No matter what we are all human in the end, so why does anything truly matter so much for you to pressure others to like what you do.

Lots of judgemental comments as if anyone can imagine being part of an uncontacted culture as a child to being the last of your culture in just one person's lifetime.

First thing his son does on the phone after months of not speaking is reprimand him for his alcoholism. Amadeo was like byeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Why is it sad? Nothing lasts forever. Things are meant to be forgotten. He would be the last so it can be history to be remembered forever.

duolingo or other language app or whoever in this world need to recognize this and stop it from going extinct, i wanna learn it tbh

When a language dies, It will never be remembered
unless it's latin.
so he shouldve taught people taushiro when he had the chance.

If I was the last man to speak a language, I would not let it die. write books, teach, keep it alive. And then just leave it
