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.

Comentário do professor
Comentário: A afirmação está correta porque a expressão “who are capable of speaking their native language” funciona como uma oração relativa que especifica o sujeito “Aboriginal youth”. Essa oração acrescenta uma característica importante ao grupo em questão, restringindo o significado apenas àqueles jovens que têm a habilidade de falar sua língua nativa. Se esta oração fosse omitida, a frase se tornaria mais geral e perderia a nuance crítica sobre a relação entre o domínio da língua nativa e comportamentos de risco e saúde mental, mudando assim o sentido original da proposição.
