Unalaska, AK – The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) recently released an updated atlas of the world's endangered languages. It allows you to search a map of the world that pinpoints which languages are spoken where. It also tells you if the languages are endangered. According to the atlas, of the 26 native languages spoken in Alaska since the 1950s, one - Eyak is extinct and 15 are critically endangered. That means that the youngest speakers of those languages tend to be grandparents and older, and they only speak the language partially and infrequently.

The Eastern dialect of Aleut, or Unangam Tunuu, is considered critically endangered and has fewer than 150 speakers total. But one young Unangan woman, Larissa Syverson, is trying to change that. KUCB's Anne Hillman spoke with her about her efforts to revive Unangan culture.
