This line really hits home about the fragility of languages and how easily they can disappear within a few generations.

It’s sobering to think that such a rich part of Portugal’s cultural heritage might be lost without sustained efforts to pass it on.

As you pointed out, the young are indeed the lifeblood of any language.

Introducing it into school curricula is crucial, but maybe incorporating it into local media, music, or even tourism could help boost its visibility and usage too.

Thanks for sharing this important story!
