    I listened to this and I enjoyed the entire thing. You talked about most necessary aspects, went into the history, gave examples of the language, why it is dying out, etc. However, what it is missing - if I remember correctly - is the consequences of the language dying out. What is happening to the culture and what would happen if it does die out? That would be interesting to know whether it would matter to Switzerland or not.

    Your podcast, in my opinion, is a very impressive response to this task. You guys did a great job encompassing the language with historical and religious aspects. You also did a great job maintaining a theme of a very naturally going discussion, well done! I am currently learning french and it was very interesting to see similarities between Romansh and French in words like “bienvenue” and a question that popped in my head and begs verification is: do you believe that the dominance of a certain language with greater economic might and prestige is the only why and wherefore behind the depletion of another?

People would practice their religion peaceful. People would mingle with each other peacefully. That was what our lives were like until Christian Missionaries infiltrate our land. The Church Missionary Society were the first to enter Igboland at the beginning of the Conquest of Africa . Our people thought that such actions would not be harmful to us. We did not know that they would exploit our manpower and resources. The annexation of Igboland to the British Empire truly changed the future of the rich Igbo culture in a way that i

[ENGLISH] A Good Name -Analysis to my real name

Our view of the world is shaped with the help of the people around us. This molds our identity and it solidifies over time. But some of these identities stick with us since birth and (will probably) not be changed throughout the course of our lives. One of these identities is our names. We get our names from our parents who are influenced by their surroundings. Names are unique depending on where you come from.   My full name is Azim Masrizki Baruno.  In Indonesia, the majority of the population consists of Muslims. Islam takes part in a daily life of a Muslim Indonesian. These influences have influenced in naming me. Azim comes from the word Al-Azim which translates to The Great One in Arabic.
