27 Local Languages in Kalimantan Could Go Extinct

One of the efforts made by the East Kalimantan Provincial Language Office was to hold a literature workshop late last year, hoping to open up horizons of Banjar literature, ethnic literature, and literary issues to the tribes that live and thrive in East Kalimantan.

The participants of the event consisted of 35 writers.

"We intend to publish books and reading materials in local languages as a result of the event. We'll distribute them so that they can be read by the public in East Kalimantan and North Kalimantan, as well as other provinces. There are a total of 31 folk tales," said Anang. (esy/mcr20/jpnn)
