1. The languages that I chose were from Aboriginal Australia. The Aborigines have already lost several languages and, and they are continuing to lose more. Among them, the Magati and Amurdag languages have less than 10 people that can speak their language. I chose this because I remember watching a documentary on Aborigines losing their identity, and I thought it would be interesting.
2. Their languages are considered dying because hardly anyone speak them. The languages couldn't stay alive because many aboriginal groups were small and displaced due to historical conflict with settlers. After that it was difficult to preserve their culture and language.
3. Trying to maintain these languages would be very difficult to do. However, gather the remaining speakers and try to define their language again. Also creating some sort of dictionary and educating other people about the language
4. SLANG CHART

5. My generation can keep its language alive mostly through social media, and constantly adding our new slang words in the dictionary.
