Other Interesting Issues

Revitalization of the Magca Language (In HK & Nepal)

  • Magca language is no longer used by the Magca community(Even the grandparent generation can barely speak it)
     
  • In HK: By private organizations

  • In Nepal: some revitalization cases by the government and some by joint effort of private organizations and government
  • Classes are offered but not compulsory
  • Only few schools joined at the beginning but more and more did so later

 

  • Outcome: many children can speak Magca language now (higher proficiency than the grandparent generation)
  • Reason: Democratization

--> A More open view to local dialects
