Vitalización y reproducción de la lengua Nasa Yuwedos modelos educativos en un contexto sociolingüístico minorizado

Abstract

UNESCO has declared 2019 as the “International Year of Indigenous Languages” providing an opportunity for different countries to promote the language, culture and identity of the indigenous peoples of their respective territories. In Colombia, indigenous languages find themselves in a fragile situation due to the innumerable loss of speakers, and thus, in need of revitalization. One of these languages is Nasa Yuwe. The following pages take a closer look at the various revitalization processes of both the Nasa culture and the Nasa Yuwe language on the Tóez Caloto Reservation in order to analyze the two educational models found there.
