The current talk consists of two parts: 1) To deal with status quo of endangered language from a general linguistic point of view and 2) To talk about the linguistic values of Jejueo spoken in Jeju island from an endangered linguistic viewpoint. In doing so, I want you to be able to get the insightful understanding of endangered languages in general and promote the linguistic awareness of Jejueo in specific.
On one hand, I will start with the linguistic talk about the world languages followed by what is endangered language. Then, the talk goes on the criteria based on which endangered languages are classified into the different level of language vitality. Along with language vitality, it would be observed what kinds of efforts are made to save endangered languages.
On the other hand, the talk will be switched upon to Jejueo registered as an endangered language. We are going to look around Jejueo, first of all, from a historical viewpoint and then linguistic values of Jejueo in a brief manner.
