The intersectionality of being a minority language speaker shaped the way I perceive society and the way I approach concepts like equality, diversity and community. The relationship I have with Laz is what made me passionate about language revitalization.
What are your hopes for the future of endangered language development and revitalization?
I hope to see more efforts that are spearheaded by the speakers and the communities themselves.

Do you have any other interests or hobbies that you would like to share?
I paint and I’m a pretty good skater.
In the strategic racing game kart bros io, players can improve their ability to assess the course and modify their strategy following each acceleration. In addition to speed, each race necessitates expertise in steering angle selection and obstacle preparation.
With each perfectly timed input in speedstars, your runner glides faster and smoother across the track, creating a feeling of effortless motion that’s extremely satisfying to master.
Hello Zeynep, as a Laz, I would like to share my knowledge. Can you write to nkdemir81@gmail.com? Greetings
Growing up in a multicultural environment, I saw firsthand how important it is to keep our linguistic heritage alive. It’s inspiring to see young people like her working to empower communities to protect their own languages. Language truly shapes our identity and fosters a deep sense of belonging. On a lighter note, when I need a break from serious thoughts, I enjoy playing Block Blast . It’s a simple yet engaging way to relax and have some fun.
In basketball stars, teaming up with friends through the guild feature is a game-changer. It adds a sense of unity and helps everyone improve together.
