One language that is spoken by fewer than 1,000 people is the Koro language, also known as Korku, which is spoken in India. According to Ethnologue, Koro is spoken by approximately 900 speakers in the states of Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra in India.

Koro is classified as a Munda language and is a member of the Austroasiatic language family. The language is mainly spoken by the Korku tribal community in India. Koro has a complex tonal system, which means that the meaning of a word can vary based on the tone used.

Unfortunately, the Koro language is considered endangered, as younger generations are shifting to Hindi and other dominant languages in the region. Efforts are being made to preserve the language, including the publication of books and other materials in Koro and the establishment of language schools for children.

Minderico is the language of Minde village, located in a geographically isolated region of Portugal. Approximately 1000 passive speakers. Minderico is now actively spoken by 150 speakers, but only 23 of them are fluent speakers. More than half of the fluent speakers are new speakers of the language. Minderico, also known as Piação do Ninhou (the language of Minde), was originally a sociolect or a secret language spoken by textile producers and traders in the Freguesia (civil parish) of Minde. Minde is essentially an industrial town with an almost monoindustry of textiles and wool artifacts with a long tradition in Portugal. According to the existent written sources, Minderico emerged at the end of the 17th century as a sociolect: the wool carders, blanket producers and merchants of Minde created a special language to protect their business from “intruders” in the markets they visited all over Portugal. This secret language was based mainly on an archaic variety of Portuguese with clear influences from Spanish and Mozarabic. After this initial phase, Minderico began to expand its vocabulary continuously and creatively. With the increase in vocabulary, Minderico also extended its scope of application. It began to be used not only for commercial reasons, to conceal information, but also in daily social contexts.

Otomi is an Oto-Pamean language in Mexico. It spans the altiplano region of Mexico, leading to its dispersions in states such as Puebla, Queretaro, and Veracruz. It has approximately 300,000 native speakers and it is not taught at schools. Its speakers derive the language from the Otomi military squadron who were highly skilled warriors, fighting alongside the Aztecs.

Chachi is a barbacoan language spoken in northern Ecuador, in the mountain regions of the northwestern corner of the country. It is an endangered language due to the decreasing number of children who speak it and is not taught in school across the country so it is relatively unknown or very rare for someone to speak chachi. It uses the Latin alphabet. The Chachi once lived in the Andes but emigrated to their current territory due to the invasion of the Incas and Spaniards. The social and economic situation of the Chachi people endanger the preservation of their language because they are forced to go to urban cities where people speak common languages such as Spanish and English. Life and culture are different so they must adapt to such changes in order to fit in and progress which leads to the forgetting of their native language and culture. Since the arrival of the internet, television, and electricity, the dominant language in the chachi community is Spanish. Children grow up learning and speaking spanish rather than chachi language.

In recent years, there were a lot of efforts promoted to preserve this language and culture, and establishment of Oroqen language classes in some schools. Sadly, even with the efforts, the language still remains endangered and most of the Oroqen people nowaday are shifting towards Chinese Mandarin as their dominant and primary use of language in communication. Oroqen is a very complex tonal language with complex grammatical system which is why people are shifting towards using Mandarin.

N|uu is a Khoisan language, characterized by its use of click consonants. The N|uu people have a rich cultural heritage, and they traditionally practiced hunting and gathering.

Efforts have been made to preserve and document the N|uu language, as only a few fluent speakers remain. The South African government has recognized N|uu as an endangered language and has taken steps to promote its revitalization.

Ongota is an indigenous language typically spoken in Ethiopia. Based on Ethnologue, Ongota is an endangered language, yet despite this Language's Vitality, there are no current users who speak this language. Ongota came from the Afro-Asiatic language family, in which elders are the only users who speak this language. As a result, Ongota isn't taught in schools. Interestingly, Elararchive states how Ongota "[...]is being abandoned in favor of neighboring Ts’amakko (Cushitic)" (https://www.elararchive.org/dk0247/#:~:text=Ongota%20is%20the%20traditional%20language,and%20is%20considered%20an%20isolate.)

The language I was able to find was A-Pucikwar. It’s a language that is extinct because no-one retains a sense of ethnic identity associated with it. This language was spoken in India. A-Pucikwar belongs to the Andamanese language family. The loss of the language hurts the A-Pucikwar cultural heritage and identity. Language was a big part of their linguistic identity. The language was taught orally from generation to generation. As the new generation started to use A-Pucikwar less, the language started to become extinct.

Parce is a word that is linked specifically to Medellin, Colombia and its nearby areas. It is a word that is heavily used among paisas but not costeños or other coastal cities, villages, or towns. You can tell if someone is paisa by their accent and their way of pronouncing the word “parce”. It is a word attached to a specific group of people, an individual can tell what part of Colombia he or she is from based on their pronunciation of the word “parce”. It is unique to that region in Colombia because it is a word that is used in their everyday dialect. It was born in Medellin, Colombia and only those who live or were born there use it regularly in their speech. So whenever a person says “parce” with a paisa accent, we can directly link them to Medellin, Colombia because of the word and their pronunciation.

If a Latino says “Yerba mala nunca muere” to a white person they are not going to know a single clue of what it means. If you translate it to English it says “bad grass never dies”, which for them might sound stupid because everyone knows that in order for grass to not die it has to be healthy and well take care of.

Saying Buen Provecho in Spanish is used as a common courtesy when someone is going to eat a meal. Before the person begins eating their food, you tell them buen provecho which can be known as enjoy your meal, in English. For many who don’t understand Spanish, this will be difficult to translate into English and understand the idea because, in the United States, we don’t usually tell someone to enjoy their meal before they begin to eat, especially if we aren’t the ones who cooked or bought the food for the person.

Bricolage in French roughly translates to fun “do it yourself work” but there’s no real 1 to 1 translation. For example, a handyman is typically someone who does home improvement projects like building a table, fixing a shelf, or building a swing set. So bricolage is best described as an activity that would typically be done by a handyman, but for fun and not out of necessity. This is difficult to translate because it requires knowledge of what a handyman does. While we may say “fixing a table” or “building a shelf”, in French, bricolage is unspecific in the activity but instructs us that it is the type of activity that requires the use of hands and involves the fixing and/or building of something. Furthermore, a handyman typically is called when needed, while bricolage is done for fun and not out of necessity.
