Ep. 48: Yulha Lhawa on Khroskyabs Language Documentation & Revitalization
This month's episode is with Yulha Lhawa from the University of Washington (https://linguistics.washington.edu)and the Endangered Languages Project (https://www.endangeredlanguages.com/).
Yulha Lhawa (https://linguistics.washington.edu/people/yulha-yi), originally from Siyuewu Village in Sichuan, China, is a passionate advocate for her community's traditions and language. Growing up as a yak herder, Yulha developed an interest in linguistics during high school. This interest fueled her to create the trilingual book "Warming Your Hands by Moonlight (https://www.repository.cam.ac.uk/items/e76d2158-360d-46ac-8e85-1e0fedff6341)," aimed at preserving local history and folklore. Taking her dedication a step further, Yulha journeyed to the United States from the Himalayas to study linguistics at the University of Oregon (https://humanities.uoregon.edu/linguistics). Currently, she's pursuing a Master's in computational linguistics at the University of Washington (https://linguistics.washington.edu), hoping to merge her linguistic knowledge with modern technology to contribute to the preservation of her community's cultural heritage.
