UNESCO Language vitality assessment scale – Rufumbira Extinction Analysis Guidance

Of the more than 6000 indigenous languages in existence, more than 40% are at the risk of extinction. According to UNESCO, we lose a local language every after 2 weeks, which implies a loss of 24 indigenous languages in a year. Well, Rufumbira is an indigenous language for Bafumbira and one wonders it is at a risk of extinction! This guide provided by UNESCO enables people across the world to analyze and estimate the extinction threats faced by their own local languages. We have already used this scale to estimate the dangers Rufumbira language faces. However, we urge you to read or download this tool yourself and make deeper and meaningful assessments regarding Rufumbira or your other local language. Thank you.
