What does it really mean to bring a “dead” language back to life? In this episode, we speak with Professor Ghil’ad Zuckermann and Professor Julia Sallabank about the complex, political, and deeply emotional work of language revival — from Australian Aboriginal languages to Guernsey’s native tongue. We explore how reviving a language is about more than words: it’s about identity, pride, and healing cultural loss.
