* An indigenous language is a language that is native to a region and spoken by indigenous people, often reduced to the status of a minority language. This language is from a linguistically distinct community that has been settled in the area for many generations… Many indigenous languages have become endangered because of language deaths or linguicide caused by colonization, in which the original language is replaced by that of the colonists. [Wikipedia]
