✨ October 12 - Indigenous Peoples' Day

Every language holds a world of knowledge.

Indigenous languages carry generations of stories, traditions, history, and connection to community.

Take some time to discover a language you may not have explored before and learn more about the people and culture behind it.

With 42 Indigenous and endangered languages available through Transparent Language Online, a few new words can be the beginning of a much bigger journey.
