LANGUAGE
We created and are continually expanding a Bahnar-English Talking Dictionary, which serves to help preserve the language, while also showcasing language-environment connections. We apply computational tools from NLP (Natural Language Processing) to uncover environmental intelligence found in several of the more than 100 indigenous languages of Vietnam (e.g., Bahnar, Jrai, H’mong). This knowledge is generally undocumented by science, but holds immense value for understanding sustainable living and nature conservation.
