In Chile a language on the verge of extinction, stirs into life
Briefly

"Ckunsa, the language of the Lickanantay people who have lived in the Atacama Desert for more than 11,000 years, was declared extinct in the 1950s. But it is still very much alive in the depths of the desert."
"I don't accept that my native language is extinct, spits 50-year-old Tomas Vilca... Ckunsa is dormant, yes, but we are bringing it back. We are going to revitalize our language."
