Dialogue
Speakers of Khroskyabs think that their language is too difficult for others to learn, because of its difficult phonology, particularly its long consonant clusters. Speakers as well as outsiders equate this to a language that is almost impossible to learn and speak. Therefore, I decided to teach Khroskyabs to my friends at the University of Oregon and have them initiate simple conversations in Khroskyabs to show that Khroskyabs is learnable by non-Khroskyabs people. My friends in the video were from many different countries, including Uganda, Chile, Myanmar, the USA, and China. Most Khroskyabs speakers have never seen people from outside of the region they are from, so it was very surprising for them to see outsiders learning and speaking Khroskyabs. By having outsiders using Khrosky- abs, it shows that Khroskyabs is both important and learnable, and therefore helps bring prestige to the language.
