These disappearing languages should be preserved through books and recordings, covering their syntax, grammar, and vocabulary.

Then what now 😳

I saw a book by Mauro Tosco called The Dhaasanac Language and though the languages are not exact, they are very similar. It is said they have the same origin/root. What I noticed is that the language was preserved, VERY WELL, but you have to have a certain access to be able to read the material. You can't "buy" the book online. Another person to consider is the work of Rüdiger Köppe Verlag who studied languages from the region. The language is not lost to the world, it is lost only to its people *which is worse. For context, the entire bible is in this language so they must have been able to preserve a lot of it to be able to translate it from one language to another. Kenya (Africa in general) has absolutely NO idea the crime being done to them. I posted the names of the authors so that people can search themselves. Somebody on here will have more influence than me and maybe we'll be able to get these people their language back

At times learning many languages helps a lot ....

Hopefully getting it down on paper will ensure more people to learn it as I was keen on finding a small foreign language to learn!Its very sad that they can’t speak in their original language.

Ho dear, better to record their songs and culture stories. Bless them. Thanks for the program.

Why does our government neglect these communities? Surely they should have access to food, water, education, security and health facilities! Some of these counties receive 1billion kenya shillings in funds!!!

El-molo language is similar to ilchamus/ njemps to those who understand maa languages

El Molo is a south cushite language. It probably share loan words with Samburu due to years of mixing with samburu who speak a nilotic language.

I love Africa 😘😘😘😘

El Molo is Cushitic language but heavily influenced by Nilo-saharen language if I'm not wrong.

@@levia9349 interesting, I didn't know they were Cushitic. Their traditional clothing looks similar to many eastern Nilotic ethnic groups like the Samburu

@@NoRockinMansLand yaah they heavily intermixed with Nilotic people linguistically and culturally which is probably why they are going extinct
