UNESCO predicted that almost half of the 7000 living languages might die in a century's time considering the rate they are going out of use. Many endangered and/or indigenous languages around us might be a victim of this phenomenon if we do not start documenting them in digital mediums. This presentation by Subhashish Panigrahi and Prateek Pattanaik of O Foundation (OFDN) will elaborate on the experience of collaboration with regional stakeholders, and documenting community stories in some of the most challenging regions in India and Nepal for four OpenSpeaks documentaries in four indigenous languages of the region.
