We are Karenni volunteers working together to keep our languages alive.
We recognise that Karenni State is home to many ethnic groups, each with its own language and culture. At this stage, we do not have the capacity to include every language, so we are starting with Kayah Li. This does not mean that one language is more important than another.
We hope to include more Karenni languages in the future, so they can all be preserved, learned and passed on to future generations.
