Tofa: A Disappearing Language and Culture
When a language fades away, so does the culture. Thousands of languages all over the world are in danger; many Siberian languages in particular are at risk of language loss. Tofa is one of these many Siberian languages. Central Siberia has six genetic units for languages, and four of those six units have only one language that is still being used. Tofa is the language spoken by the Tofalar people in central Siberia. Tofa is isolated to three small villages located in the Sayan Mountains, which are located in the south-central area of Russia near Mongolia, an area called Tofalaria. The villages are very isolated and small, as they only have about 600 inhabitants total.
