Indigenous dialect saved by Korea¡¯s alphabet
<µ¿¿µ»óº¸·¯°¡±â>
Description:
In a remote Indonesian village, teacher Abidin uses
the Korean alphabet Hangul to transcribe and preserve the endangered Cia-Cia
dialect, ensuring its survival for future generations.
Transcription:
These distinctive circles and lines makeup the Korean
alphabet known as Hangul.
In a remote Indonesian village, it`s not being used to
teach Korean.
Instead, it¡¯s to save an
indigenous dialect used by around 80,000 people.
Teacher Abidin trained in Hangul for six months in
South Korea.
Abidin: If we can write it down, the language can be
documented. We will have writings to preserve it so that it can be learned from
time to time. Had we only had the language verbally, we would totally lose it.
Even now, there are already so many forgotten original Cia-Cia words.
More than 700 dialects spoken in Indonesia according
to UNESCO.
Many do not have a written form, leaving them
vulnerable to vanishing over time.
But Cia- Cia, with the help of Hangeul, will be saved
for generations to come.
