On this #LanguageChampions Live!, we talked with Doyle McKey Ngomi (Mónivibɔ̀ngɔ̀ Mwa Ngɔ̀mi), an Iyasa language champion from Ebodje, Cameroon - huge thanks to Doyle to sharing all his thoughts and work!

We talked about:

-Language as a vehicle for worldview, culture, and identity

-Iyasa language, culture, food, and history, and the broader group of Ndowe cultures

-The current situation of the Iyasa language, with less than 2,000 speakers, and why it’s facing language shift

-Doyle’s work with Ndowe International Press to publish and promote books in, about, and by Ndowe languages and people

-And more!

Thank you for this wonderful conversation, Doyle! Melapa éboó (languages forward)!
