Motorola phones will include endangered languages from Latin America

Motorola has added support for two indigenous languages spoken in Brazil , Venezuela and Colombia as part of a larger effort to make technology more accessible .

Kaingang and Nheengatu will be among the language options available on Motorola Android devices . Any Motorola phone updated to Android 11 will be able to access the new language options , not just its most expensive models .
Janine Oliveira , Executive Director for Globalization Software , Motorola , said : “ We believe that this initiative will raise awareness towards language revitalization and not only will impact the communities that we ’ re working directly with . Right now we ’ re in the process of open sourcing all that language data from Android into Unicode .”
The Nheengatu community of about 20,000 people live mostly in the Amazon , but only about 6,000 people in the region still speak the Nheengatu language , so UNESCO considers it severely endangered .
Juliana Rebelatto , Globalization Manager and Head Linguist , Motorola , said : “ Both of the indigenous communities rely heavily on mobile technology , even though they may not always have reliable Internet access . Teachers use their mobile phones in their classroom to teach their curriculum , so now that the phones will be in Kaingang and Nheengatu this will really help with the learning process .”
