UNESCO's International Mother Language Day
The Nepalese Community in Hong Kong
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
