Las lenguas indígenas son importantes para el desarrollo social, económico y político, la coexistencia pacífica y la reconciliación en nuestras sociedades. Sin embargo, muchos de ellos están en peligro de desaparecer. Por esta razón, las Naciones Unidas declararon el año 2019 Año de las Lenguas Indígenas a fin de alentar la adopción de medidas urgentes para preservarlas, revitalizarlas y promoverlas.
