In many parts of the world colonial hegemony has
resulted in the dominance of the coloniser's language at the
expense of native languages. The suppression of indigenous
languages is intricately connected with mental health problems.
Indigenous youth with less knowledge of their native language
are six times more likely to have suicidal ideation than those
with greater language knowledge. Language suppression impairs
self-identity, wellbeing, self-esteem, and empowerment.
Just as language extinction can affect mental health, so
can reinstating a language. Aboriginal youth who are capable of
speaking their native language are less likely to consume alcohol
or use illicit substances at risky amounts, and are less likely to be
exposed to violence. Moreover, knowledge of indigenous
languages is associated with a decrease in youth suicide by 50% a
year.
The digital recording of indigenous languages might be
useful for documentation, restoration, promotion, and education.
Sufficient fund allocation is required to recover and store the
alphabets of indigenous languages. Separate indigenous language
educational institutes, in which researchers and mental health
professionals can work in cooperation, are also extremely
necessary. These concerted efforts might help result in the
renewal of a given indigenous language and potentially reduce
mental health problems.

Text 7A2
When it comes to the vocabulary of languages, is it true,
as some suppose, that the vocabularies of so-called primitive
languages are too small and inadequate to account for the
nuances of the physical and social universes of their speakers?
The answer is somewhat complicated. Because the vocabulary of
a language serves only the members of the society who speak it,
the question to be asked should be: Is a particular vocabulary
sufficient to serve the sociocultural needs of those who use the
language? When put like this, it follows that the language
associated with a relatively simple culture would have a smaller
vocabulary than the language of a complex society. Why, for
example, should the Inuit people (often known by the pejorative
term “Eskimo”) have words for chlorofluoromethane, dune
buggy, or tae kwon do when these substances, objects, and
concepts play no part in their culture? By the same token,
however, the language of a tribal society would have elaborate
lexical domains for prominent aspects of the culture although
these do not exist in complex societies. The Agta of the
Philippines, for example, are reported to have no fewer than
thirty-one verbs referring to types of fishing, while in Munich,
the terminology for the local varieties of beer is quite extensive,
according to strength, color, fizziness, aging, and clarity, the full
list exceeding seventy terms.
However, even though no language spoken today may be
labeled primitive, this does not mean that all languages do all
things in the same way, or are equally influential in the modern
transnational world. The linguistic anthropologist Dell Hymes
claims that languages are not functionally equivalent because the
role of speech varies from one society to the next. According to
Hymes, though all languages “are potentially equal and hence
capable of adaptation to the needs of a complex industrial
civilization”, only certain languages have actually done so
(Hymes 1961:77). These languages are more successful than
others not because they are structurally more advanced, but
because they happen to be associated with societies in which
language is the basis of literature, education, science, and
commerce.

Text 7A1
Artificial intelligence still has difficulties processing
requests in one language, without the additional complications of
translation. Michael Housman, chief data science officer at
RapportBoost.AI, explained that the ideal scenario for machine
learning and artificial intelligence is something with fixed rules
and a clear-cut measure of success or failure. He named chess as
an obvious example. This happened faster than anyone
anticipated because of the game’s very clear rules and limited set
of moves. Housman elaborated, “Language is almost the opposite
of that. There aren’t as clearly-cut and defined rules.”
I asked Dr. Jorge Majfud, Associate Professor of Spanish,
at Jacksonville University, to explain why consistently accurate
language translation has thus far eluded AI. He replied, “The
problem is that considering the ‘entire’ sentence is still not
enough.” He noted that sarcasm and irony only make sense
within this widened context. Similarly, idioms can be
problematic for automated translations.
Dr. Majfud warned, “We should be aware of the fragility
of their ‘interpretation.’ Because to translate is basically to
interpret, not just an idea but a feeling. Human feelings and ideas
that only humans can understand — and sometimes not even we,
humans, understand other humans.” He noted that cultures,
gender, and even age can pose barriers to this understanding and
also contended that an over-reliance on technology is leading to
our cultural and political decline. Dr. Majfud mentioned that
Argentinean writer Julio Cortázar used to refer to dictionaries as
“cemeteries”. He suggested that automatic translators could be
called “zombies”.
