“We still live here – âs nutayuneân” is a 2010 film that tells the amazing story of the return of a language: the language of the Wampanoag people who helped the first English settlers in America.

In this film, the famous linguist, philosopher and cognitive scientist Noam Chomsky says this about languages:

“A language is not just words. It’s a culture, a tradition, a unification of a community, a whole history that creates what a community is. It’s all embodied in a language.”

Indeed, a language, any language, is so much more than mere words. Isn’t it what makes languages so wonderful?
