Lower East Side (NYC) Language Marathon

February 24, 2019 2:00 pm - February 24, 2019 5:00 pm

Global | United States of America | New York City | University Settlement (184 Eldridge St, New York, New York 10002)

Cultural events

Celebrate International Mother Language Day by joining the Endangered Language Alliance at University Settlement on Manhattan’s Lower East Side for a no-holds-barred language marathon, featuring speakers of languages of over a dozen languages originally from Pakistan, Mexico, Indonesia, and elsewhere, all now spoken in NYC.

The stage is also open to anyone and everyone who would like to share a few words of their mother tongue: just drop us a line through Facebook or at info@elalliance.org telling us about what you’d like to present.

Donations are appreciated, but everyone is welcome. We’ll also have a special sale going, with unique ELA t-shirts and ELA’s Queens language maps both going for just $10 — and possibly a sneak preview of our brand-new NYC language map, featuring over 600 languages spoken in the city!

Indigenous languages matter for social, economic and political development, peaceful coexistence and reconciliation in our societies. Yet many of them are in danger of disappearing. It is for this reason that the United Nations declared 2019 the Year of Indigenous Languages in order to encourage urgent action to preserve, revitalize and promote them.
