  yes. i had nothing but wrong answers 😅

  maybe this can help:

  A treasure language is one of the thousands of small languages still spoken in the world today. The term was proposed by the Rama people of Nicaragua as an alternative to heritage language, indigenous language, and “ethnic language”, names that are considered pejorative in the local context. The term is now also used in the context of public storytelling events.

  The term “treasure language” references the desire of speakers to sustain the use of their mother tongue into the future
