This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. How well do you know the dialect of the area which you grew up in? Is your local dialect fading away with each passing generation? Starting with local dialects, then progressing onto whole languages, Uemura Noriko describes a way to preserve your local linguistic heritage and promote international relations at the same time.

About TEDx, x = independently organized event In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
