In a digital world where major languages dominate, smaller languages risk fading. For Aruba, preserving Papiamento means more than maintaining words—it’s about protecting a cultural legacy that reflects the island's rich history.
From the essay, "Preserving Papiamento—Safeguarding Aruba’s Language and Cultural Heritage," by Peter Scholing of Biblioteca Nacional Aruba, part of the Vanishing Culture report: https://blog.archive.org/2024/10/30/vanishing-culture-a-report-on-our-fragile-cultural-record/
#VanishingCulture is exactly how I feel in EVERY LANGUAGE and CULTURE
@internetarchive Being sterilized by #English / #American #culture seems to be the case EVERYWHERE when they are pushing / pumping out it's own culture to overwhelm / re-write all others intentionally (for example #Hollywood probably not going after #pirates any more so hard because we download + watch them more than other culture's works, which is still a win for them)...
#VanishingCulture is exactly how I feel in EVERY LANGUAGE and CULTURE right now...
Felt that for a long time...
Even "our own" English language as a " #culture " today is going... erm down the drain... lol... I guess ?
The vicious bland #fascistic circles... reducing culture brutally. #fascism #USA #Banks #Money all the #bank #systems everyone copied / installed / imposed wordwide...
