In many parts of the world colonial hegemony has resulted in the dominance of the coloniser's language at the expense of native languages. The suppression of indigenous languages is intricately connected with mental health problems. Indigenous youth with less knowledge of their native language are six times more likely to have suicidal ideation than those with greater language knowledge. Language suppression impairs self-identity, wellbeing, self-esteem, and empowerment.

Just as language extinction can affect mental health, so can reinstating a language. Aboriginal youth who are capable of speaking their native language are less likely to consume alcohol or use illicit substances at risky amounts, and are less likely to be exposed to violence. Moreover, knowledge of indigenous languages is associated with a decrease in youth suicide by 50% a year.

The digital recording of indigenous languages might be useful for documentation, restoration, promotion, and education. Sufficient fund allocation is required to recover and store the alphabets of indigenous languages. Separate indigenous language educational institutes, in which researchers and mental health professionals can work in cooperation, are also extremely necessary. These concerted efforts might help result in the renewal of a given indigenous language and potentially reduce mental health problems.

Gabarito

Errado

Comentário do professor

Comentário: A afirmação está errada porque a expressão "concerted efforts" se refere a iniciativas que são planejadas e realizadas de forma coordenada, mas não necessariamente implica que essas iniciativas já foram ineficazes no passado. O texto sugere que tais esforços são necessários para a renovação das línguas indígenas e a redução de problemas de saúde mental, mas não afirma que houve uma melhoria de iniciativas anteriormente fracassadas. Portanto, a interpretação de que essas medidas passaram por uma evolução de ineficácia para eficácia não está suportada pelo texto.
