Which of the following languages is declared as ‘Vulnerable’ by the United Nations Educational Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)?
A)
Bawm
B)
Gangte
C)
Mara
D)
Mizo
The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) maintains the 'Atlas of the World's Languages in Danger'. According to UNESCO's classification, the Bawm language (spoken by the Bawm community in Mizoram and parts of Bangladesh/India) is categorized as 'Vulnerable'. A language is considered 'Vulnerable' when it is still spoken by parents and grandparents, but most children speak a more dominant language (such as Mizo or Bengali in this context), leading to a risk of decline. While other languages like Gangte and Mara are minority languages, the specific UNESCO designation of 'Vulnerable' is most prominently associated with Bawm in the context of Mizoram's linguistic surveys. Mizo is a dominant regional language and is not classified as vulnerable.
