Since minority language resources are so scarce, it makes sense to take note of and collect all the material at your disposal first.

When I started out learning the Irish language for example, I literally made a list of all available resources both free and paid before I even got started just so I knew what I was working with.

I took note of every decent site, YouTube channel, blog and so on that I could find so I had a really good idea of the kind of stuff out there for learning Irish.

This is also a very good time saving strategy for later because you’ll know where everything is.

Is it enough material though?

So looking at that list of resources you’ve put together and knowing where everything is and what’s available to you – is it actually enough to learn the language?

There is surprisingly a lot available for some really obscure languages.

Take a language like Igbo for example from Nigeria in Africa.

You can find some amazing resources (such as this one) and YouTube channels for learning it which is more than adequate for learning the language to a reasonable level of fluency.

However there also languages like the Jingpho language of Burma which have hardly anything to work with.

So if you do want to learn a language like Jingpho, what do you do without resources?

Get in touch with those who have gone before you first of all

In the case of Jingpho, let’s say the only online resource you can find is a Bible translation site (usually the case for a lot of obscure languages).

This is a helpful starting point.

It means that you know for a fact there are people out there who have already done what you’re trying to do.

And they’re probably the best people to ask off the bat.

Get in touch with them straight away and ask for advice on where you can find resources or who you can contact.

I recently got in contact with some people out in the Northern Territory of Australia to ask about indigenous languages out there and they were super helpful with information so I know this works from experience.

Next stop: Professors and linguistics departments

This is kind of the same advice as above.

Experts on minority and obscure languages are often found in linguistics departments of universities.

Since minority language resources are so scarce, it makes common sense to consume note of and collect all the fabric at your disposal foremost. 

 When I started out learning the Irish terminology for exercise, I literally made a tilt of all available resource both free and pay up before I even got started just so I knew what I was working with. 

 I took bill of every decent site, YouTube channel, web log and so on that I could find thus I had a truly good idea of the kind of stuff out there for learning Irish.

 In the shell of Jingpho, let ’s say the only on-line resource you can find is a Bible translation site (usually the character for a lot of hidden languages). 

 This is a helpful starting detail. 

 It means that you acknowledge for a fact there are citizenry out there who have already do what you ’re trying to do. 

 And they ’re probably the best people to necessitate off the bat. 

 Get in touch with them directly away and ask for advice on where you can find resources or who you can contact.
