Q7: 'The Forgotten Language' - Read the passage aloud

Languages are disappearing around the world. Some are spoken by only a few elders in remote villages. When a language dies, we lose stories, songs, and ways of thinking. Linguists travel to record these languages before they vanish. In one case, a teenager helped revive her grandparents’ language by creating a dictionary and teaching others. 'It’s part of who we are,' she said. Schools are starting to include endangered languages in their curriculum. Preserving language means preserving culture. It’s not just about words—it’s about identity, memory, and connection.
