what is indigenous langauge

Indigenous languages are languages that are spoken by indigenous peoples in a particular region or country. These languages are often unique to that specific group of people and have been passed down through generations. Indigenous languages are an important part of a group's culture, identity, and history. In many cases, these languages are at risk of becoming extinct as younger generations are more likely to speak dominant languages of the region, leading to a decline in fluency and use of the indigenous language. Efforts are being made to revitalize and preserve these languages to ensure they continue to be spoken and passed down to future generations.
