The Internet is helping us in multiple ways and I am definitely not going to narrate lines on how exactly. But a few people utilizing it to protect a language that is on the verge of extinction is indeed one of the best uses you can put the Web to. Busuu is one of them.
The startup had been created to prevent the Busuu language from extinction, which as of the present is only spoken by 8 people in a region of Cameroon. Honestly I didn’t know if a language by this even existed and that is by no means surprising. UNESCO has labeled the language as one the 3,000 critically endangered languages, which is why the folks behind Busuu [the site] though of initiating this startup to create awareness about this language. The idea is simple as they have used a decent layout for the site that lets you create songs, messages in the language and share them across with your friends. Again the whole idea is to spread the word around and muster enough people around to support the Save Busuu campaign.
